This volume marks a new chapter in the long-standing debate between
Jacques Derrida and Michel Foucault regarding argumentative methods
and their political implications. The essays chart the
undertheorized dialogue between the two philosophers on questions
of life, death, punishment, and power—an untapped point of
departure from which we might continue to read the convergence and
divergence of their work. What possibilities for political
resistance might this dialogue uncover? And how might they relate
to contemporary political crises? With the resurgence of fascism
and authoritarianism across the globe, the rise of white
supremacist and xenophobic violence, and the continued brutality of
state-sanctioned and extrajudicial killings by police, border
patrols, and ordinary citizens, there is a pressing need to
critically analyze our political present. These essays bring to
bear the critical force of Derrida's and Foucault's biopolitical
thought to practices of mass incarceration, the death penalty, life
without parole, immigration and detention, racism and police
violence, transphobia, human and animal relations, and the legacies
of colonization. At the heart of their biopolitics, the volume
shows, lies the desire to deconstruct and resist in the name of a
future that is more just and less policed. It is this impulse that
makes reading their work together, at this moment, both crucial and
worthwhile.
