... (or not institutionalized) and practiced (or not practiced) around the world today demonstrates that this theoretical orientation gets it precisely backward—the most fundamental issues are neither individual nor moral but the profoundly political ones of the constitution and exercise of state sovereignty. Beginning...

... to a more subtle understanding, that identities are neither simply imposed nor freely performed. Theories of haunting or spectrality provide new ways of thinking about a variety of perennial issues, including memory, the modes of being of the past, and intertextuality. The study of affect, once relegated...

...Tom Hayden Barack Obama says he is neither a “Scoop Jackson Democrat” nor a “Tom Hayden Democrat,” providing the author with a key to understanding the inevitable outsider role of the Left during the Obama era. In this framework, Hayden writes, progressives have to reshape what passes...

..., and especially on her book The Broken Middle , it argues that British universities are properly speaking neither “public” nor “private,” but part of an equivocal yet necessary social “middle,” a “middle” without which society would be left bereft of true education and culture. © 2012 Duke University Press...

... stayed put and contributed to the destruction of slavery on the South’s plantations and farms and in its cities and towns. This essay suggests, however, that while neither Du Bois nor the scholars who followed him fully grasped the part slave women played in the wartime destruction of slavery, his...

... in their place. As such, it is a state of constant disorientation. The main argument is that post-truth has a material power basis: it is neither an intellectual problem nor one that can be solved by recourse to liberal rights. By briefly showing how neoliberalism, the New Right, and biopolitical governmentality...

... against the background of Walter Benjamin's claim, in his “Critique of Violence,” that a “divine violence” that would neither sustain nor uphold law is “undisclosed to human beings,” this article argues that the Autonomia movement in 1970s Italy reveals how such undisclosedness, such invisibility, becomes...

... governance and its material bases. In this sense, recomposition occurred through the activation of political capacities and antagonisms that—having neither escaped nor been captured by the representative Left and any other electoral fronts—ultimately conferred a class character on the protests. The article...

...: to austerely observe the limits of knowledge, and so to permit the contingent logic of speculative claims to spontaneously generate order, became itself the political change that was needed. On this reading, the neoliberal project represents neither a retreat of public authority nor a resurgence of sovereign...

... of what has inscribed itself as humanity. Neither posthuman nor neohumanist, we define the project of critical climate change as the task of opening new critical climates and horizons capable of reading the reactive resurgence of “anthropos” in the twenty-first century's witnessing of extinction...

... competing sovereign whose self-interest would thwart the intervening motivations of the state concerned with the interests of a threshold life. She is attributed with a pseudo-violent decision that this fetal life is not to be lived. Neither zoē , bios , bare life, nor homo sacer , the fetus...

... beyond the human/animal doublet as the framework for the reflection on the human. For Agamben, at issue is the anthropological machine of humanism, that is, the human, the animal, and their inescapable relation, which needs to be suspended. For Heidegger, by contrast, it is neither the animal nor...

...Elizabeth R. Johnson In 1993 Michael Taussig's Mimesis and Alterity revitalized the power of the mimetic faculty to craft a vision of nature that was neither the alienated subject of modern science nor the passively malleable medium of late twentieth-century social constructivism. Taussig drew...

...Joshua Clover; Juliana Spahr This essay begins with two examples where certain precapitalist material entanglements were taken up and transformed by capital. One is the Hawaiian creation chant, the Kumulipo, and the complicated ecotones that define that poem. The other is gender. Neither ecotones...

... immediately so, and that its metric is cognizable in a critical understanding of the received idea of “real time.” Following an introduction titled “Undercount Nation,” the essay proceeds in six sections: (I) Studies in Prejudice, Primordial Restitution, Interpretation neither Stringent nor Arbitrary; (2...

All too frequently the American intellectual has achieved the title for reasons that neither redound to his credit nor augur well for the future of his country. In the past neither unbounded love for oneself nor intense dislike for one s parents...

... indicates the depth and breadth of the movement they headed. In family background both Roosevelt and Wilson were outside the cherished American tradition. That is, neither was born in a log cabin, neither rose from rags to riches, neither conquered a harsh environment. Roosevelt came from wealth...

.... Logically, the outside is posited through any two incommensurable terms that come into contact independent of space. This is the logic of the irrational interval [coupure irrationnelle], which is not a spatial figure since it neither belongs to any set nor can be incorporated as part of a whole...

... of singularities that, acting like plants, do not so much filiate as pullulate. Confronted by the rhizomes of the concrete, we cannot help but lose the power of linear thinking or deductive reasoning: neither the mandarin orange nor the mule can reproduce in accordance with semi­ nal reason. Stupidity, or idiocy...
