Overview

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.

This collection of essays is not merely a due homage to his work. It opens up new and challenging pathways in the wake of Balibar's philosophical and political reflection.--Sandro Mezzadra, University of Bologna
