ISBN: 9780822363026 出版年：2017 页码：361 George Edmondson^^klaus Mladek Duke University Press

Featuring essays by some of the most prominent names in contemporary political and cultural theory, sovereignty in ruins presents a form of critique grounded in the conviction that political thought is itself an agent of crisis. Aiming to develop a political vocabulary capable of critiquing and transforming contemporary political frameworks, the contributors advance a politics of crisis that collapses the false dichotomies between sovereignty and governmentality and between critique and crisis. Their essays address a wide range of topics, such as the role history plays in the development of a politics of crisis; arendt's controversial judgment of adolph eichmann; strauss's and badiou's readings of plato's laws; the acceptance of the unacceptable; the human and non-human; and flesh as a biopolitical category representative of the ongoing crisis of modernity. Altering the terms through which political action may take place, the contributors think through new notions of the political that advance counter-models of biopolitics, radical democracy, and humanity.
