This volume, the first sustained critical work on the French
political philosopher Etienne Balibar, collects essays by sixteen
prominent philosophers, psychoanalysts, anthropologists,
sociologists, and literary critics who each identify, define, and
explore a central concept in Balibar's thought. The result is a
hybrid lexicon-engagement that makes clear the depth and importance
of Balibar's contribution to the most urgent topics in contemporary
thought. The book shows the continuing vitality of materialist
thought across the humanities and social sciences and will be
fundamental for understanding the philosophical bases of the
contemporary left critique of globalization, neoliberalism, and the
articulation of race, racism, and economic exploitation.
Contributors: Emily Apter, Etienne Balbar, J. M. Bernstein, Judith
Butler, Monique David-Menard, Hanan Elsayed, Didier Fassin, Stathis
Gourgouris, Bernard E. Harcourt, Jacques Lezra, Patrice Maniglier,
Warren Montag, Adi Ophir, Bruce Robbins, Ann Laura Stoler, Gary

This collection explores Balibar's rethinking of the connections
between subjection and subjectivity by tracing the genealogies of
these concepts in their discursive history. The 12 essays provide
an overview of Balibar's work after his collaboration with
Althusser. They explain and expand his framework; in particular, by
restoring Arabic and Islamic thought to the conversation on the
citizen subject. The collection includes two previously
untranslated essays by Balibar himself on Carl Schmitt and Thomas
Hobbes.
