This book aims to re-think the way in which the subject is
inscribed in the modern political, and does so by exploring the
potentiality of Lacano-Deleuzian theoretical framework. It concerns
a different ontology and a non-dualist understanding of political
and legal existence, by focusing on questions such as how to think
alternative notions of political existence and what kind of
political, social and legal order do these come to create. This
investigation into political appearance of subjects through
concepts of law, body and life is led and influenced by the thought
of Gilles Deleuze and Jacques Lacan, as well as Alain Badiou,
Antonio Negri and Slavoj Zizek. The book takes on various
conceptualisations of life, explores the relationship between law
and life and develops an alternative notion of legal and political
existence in particular in the context of rights. On the back of
Guantanamo's legal and political discourses this work aims to show
why and how the problems of world politics or the limitations of
(human) rights discourse require an engagement with questions such
as what it means to exist as a human being, what forms of life are
politically recognised, which are not, and why this distinction. By
pointing to a different ontology for thinking and understanding
global politics and demonstrating how a trans-disciplinary and
philosophical approaches can foster the debates in world politics,
this book will be of interest to postgraduates and scholars working
on critical normative ideas in international politics, critical
security studies and critical legal studies.
A charismatic and controversial figure, Lacan is one of the most
important thinkers of the twentieth century and his work has
revolutionized a range of fields. The volume aims to introduce
Lacan's vast opus to the field of international politics in a
coherent and approachable manner. The volume is split into three
distinct sections: Psychoanalysis and Politics: this section will
frame the discussion by providing general background of Lacan's
engagement with politics and the political Lacan and the Political:
each chapter will focus on different key ideas and concepts in
Lacan's thought including ethics, justice, discourse, object a,
symptom, jouissance Political Encounters: seeks to represent
different ways of engaging with Lacanian thought and ways of
adopting it to explain and comment on global political phenomena
Bringing together internationally recognised scholars in the field,
this volume will be an invaluable resource to students and scholars
in areas including critical theory, international relations,
political theory and political philosophy.

A reconfiguration of the reception of Deleuze and Lacan in
contemporary Continental philosophyIt is often said that Lacan is
the most radical representative of structuralism, a thinker of
negativity and alienation, whereas Deleuze is pictured as a great
opponent of the structuralist project, a vitalist and a thinker of
creative potentialities of desire. It seems the two cannot be
further apart. This volume of 12 new essays, breaks the myth of
their foreignness (if not hostility) and places the two in a
productive conversation. By taking on topics such as baroque,
perversion, death drive, ontology/topology, face, linguistics and
formalism the essays highlight key entry points for a discussion
between Lacan's and Deleuze's respective thoughts. The proposed
lines of investigation do not argue for a simple equation of their
thoughts, but for a 'disjunctive synthesis', which acknowledges
their differences, while insisting on their positive and mutually
informed reading.ContributorsLorenzo Chiesa, European University at

From the threats posed by austerity and the fears around global
migration to the unsettled notion of resistance, our political
world is permeated with anxieties. But what does this mean for our
everyday lived political experience? Do governments provoke or
encourage a sense of anxiety as a form of control and power? How do
citizens react to, comply with, or resist, this sense of anxiety?
This book interrogates the different faces of anxiety and provides
a systematic engagement with its different manifestations. It uses
different disciplinary approaches and methodologies to study
political and social phenomena in order to paint a picture of the
impact of anxiety, and how it governs and mobilises individuals.
The key strength of these contributions comes from their
theoretically informed analysis of empirical problems. Moving
beyond the concept of the 'risk society' and the recurrence of
cyclical capitalist crises, this book challenges the notion of the
status quo to consider urges and desires for political change. By
highlighting that anxiety is different from fear, the book examines
new implications for the study of political events.
