Dialogue entre Judith Butler et Athena Athanasiou : le débat tourne autour de ceux qui ont perdu leur pays, leur nationalité, leurs biens, tous ceux qui ont été expropriés de leur appartenance au monde. Que signifie cette précarité, cette perte fondamentale, dans une société capitaliste dominée par la logique de la possession ? Est-ce que cette conscience d’expropriation peut amener à une nouvelle forme de résistance, apporter une réponse politique à ceux qui ont été déchus de leurs droits, de leurs biens, en un mot, des conditions de base de la vie elle-même ? Les soulèvements révolutionnaires au Moyen-Orient et au Maghreb, comme les manifestations sur la place Puerta del Sol, la place Syntagma et le parc Zucotti établissent une nouvelle économie politique et affective du corps dans l’espace public. La rue est l’endroit par excellence des expropriés — de ceux qui défient les forces de police et qui se regroupent spontanément dans des collectifs pour lever la voix, pour être vus et entendus. Le livre offre une introduction à la complexité des nouvelles formes de privation de droits, de dépossession et de contestation politique. Une réflexion sur la puissance du perfomatif ainsi que sur la perte de pouvoir du sujet souverain et moral classique.

Born with Voice examines the psyche and scrape of the victims of various crimes, especially sexual discrimination-cum-exploitation, rape, and the killing of people with albinism. The author digs deeper into the hearts and minds, and plights of victims to inspire the society to stand with, and support them. The book offers some nuggets such as, understanding the phenomenon, confronting it and stopping wars that cause sufferings such as rape and death. It champions the urgency of voice for all and sundry. It challenges the industries of technologies of crime and violence to rise above selfish self-interest in the interest of human rights and voicing the voiceless victims of their greed.

This book offers a much-needed new political theory of an old phenomenon. The last decade alone has marked the highest number of migrations in recorded history. Constrained by environmental, economic, and political instability, scores of people are on the move. But other sorts of changes—from global tourism to undocumented labor—have led to the fact that to some extent, we are all becoming migrants. The migrant has become the political figure of our time. Rather than viewing migration as the exception to the rule of political fixity and citizenship, Thomas Nail reinterprets the history of political power from the perspective of the movement that defines the migrant in the first place. Applying his "kinopolitics" to several major historical conditions (territorial, political, juridical, and economic) and figures of migration (the nomad, the barbarian, the vagabond, and the proletariat), he provides fresh tools for the analysis of contemporary migration.

This book proposes a theory of the reject, a more adequate figure than the subject for thinking friendship, love, community, democracy, the postsecular, and the posthuman. Through close readings of Nancy, Deleuze, Derrida, Cixous, Clement, Bataille, Balibar, Ranciere, and Badiou, Goh shows how the reject has always been nascent in contemporary French thought. The recent turn to animals and bare life, as well as the rise of the Occupy movement, he argues, presents a special urgency to think the reject today. Thinking the reject most importantly helps to advance our commitment to affirm others without acculturating their differences. But the reject also offers, Goh proposes, a response finally commensurate with the radical horizon of Nancy’s question of who comes after the subject.

Embedded Racism untangles Japan's complex narrative on nationality and race and how it threatens its very survival. Incorporating a quarter-century of research by a naturalized Japanese citizen, it argues that Japan's economic and demographic decline is irreversible until it can accept immigrants, regardless of physical appearance, as 'new Japanese.'

"Despite domestic constitutional provisions and international treaty promises, Japan has no law against racial discrimination. Consequently, businesses around Japan display 'Japanese Only' signs, denying entry to all 'foreigners' on sight. Employers and landlords routinely refuse jobs and apartments to foreign applicants. Japanese police racially profile 'foreign-looking' bystanders for invasive questioning on the street. Legislators, administrators, and pundits portray foreigners as a national security threat and call for their segregation and expulsion. Nevertheless, Japan's government and media claim there is no discrimination by race in Japan, therefore no laws are necessary. How does Japan resolve the cognitive dissonance of racial discrimination being unconstitutional yet not illegal? Embedded Racism carefully untangles Japanese society's complex narrative on race by analyzing two mutually-supportive levels of national identity maintenance. Starting with case studies of hundreds of individual 'Japanese Only' businesses, it carefully analyzes the construction of Japanese identity through legal structures, statute enforcement, public policy, and media messages. It reveals how the concept of a 'Japanese' has been racialized to the point where one must look 'Japanese' to be treated as one. The product of a quarter-century of research and fieldwork by a scholar living in Japan as a naturalized Japanese citizen, Embedded Racism offers an unprecedented perspective on Japan's deeply-entrenched, poorly-understood, and strenuously-unacknowledged discrimination as it affects people by physical appearance"--Provided by publisher.

This exacting study examines the theatre, film and activism engaged with the representation or participation of asylum seekers and refugees in the twenty-first century. Cox shows how this work has been informed by and indeed contributed to the consolidation of 'irregular' noncitizenship as a cornerstone idea in contemporary Australian political and social life, to the extent that it has become impossible to imagine what Australia means without it.

Il arrive que l’on ne souhaite plus communiquer, ni se projeter dans le temps, ni même participer au présent ; que l’on soit sans projet, sans désir, et que l’on préfère voir le monde d’une autre rive : c’est la blancheur. La blancheur touche hommes ou femmes ordinaires arrivant au bout de leurs ressources pour continuer à assumer leur personnage. C’est cet état particulier hors des mouvements du lien social où l’on disparaît un temps et dont, paradoxalement, on a besoin pour continuer à vivre. David Le Breton signe là un livre capital pour essayer de comprendre pourquoi tant de gens aujourd’hui se laissent couler, sont pris d’une “passion d’absence” face à notre univers à la recherche de la maîtrise de tout et marqué par une quête effrénée de sensations et d’apparence. Voilà qu’après les signes d’identité, c’est cette volonté d’effacement face à l’obligation de s’individualiser, c’est la recherche d’un degré a minima de la conscience, un “laisser-tomber” pour échapper à ce qui est devenu trop encombrant, qui montent. La nouveauté est que cet état gagne de plus en plus de gens et qu’il est de plus en plus durable. David Le Breton, avec cet ouvrage en forme de manifeste, fait un constat effrayant et salutaire de notre engourdissement généralisé. Nous sommes tous concernés par ce risque d’une vie impersonnelle.

Separate and Dominate is Delphy's manifesto, lambasting liberal hypocrisy and calling for a fluid understanding of political identity that does not place different political struggles in a false opposition. She dismantles the absurd claim that Afghanistan was invaded to save women, and that homosexuals and immigrants alike should reserve their self-expression for private settings. She calls for a true universalism that sacrifices no one at the expense of others. In the aftermath of the Charlie Hebdo massacre, her arguments appear more prescient and pressing than ever.--Provided by publisher
