Von der hinteren Coverseite

“A collection like this one that explores and extends aspects of Etienne Balibar's work for an American audience is long overdue. The book understands that Balibar is a philosopher who moves the critical debate in crucial ways on a theoretical level, but who is doing so while attending to their implications for practical political problems and their solutions.”—Ellen Burt, University of California, Irvine

This volume, the first sustained critical work on the French political philosopher Étienne 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.
