With their rich and distinct wealth of philosophical knowledge and continuous political engagements, leading feminist scholars Judith Butler and Athena Athanasiou set out to answer this question.

This   thought-provoking book seeks to elaborate our understanding of   dispossession outside of the conventional logic of possession, a   hallmark of capitalism, liberalism, and humanism. Can dispossession   simultaneously characterize political responses and opposition to the   disenfranchisement associated with unjust dispossession of land,   economic and political power, and basic conditions for living?  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn   the context of neoliberal expropriation of labor and livelihood,   dispossession opens up a performative condition of being both affected   by injustice and prompted to act. From the uprisings in the Middle East   and North Africa to the anti-neoliberal gatherings at Puerta del Sol,   Syntagma and Zucchotti Park, an alternative political and affective   economy of bodies in public is being formed. Bodies on the street are   precarious - exposed to police force, they are also standing for, and   opposing, their dispossession. These bodies insist upon their collective   standing, organize themselves without and against hierarchy, and  refuse  to become disposable: they demand regard. This book interrogates  the  agonistic and open-ended corporeality and conviviality of the  crowd as  it assembles in cities to protest political and economic  dispossession  through a performative dispossession of the sovereign  subject and its  propriety.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface vii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Aporetic dispossession, or the trouble with dispossession 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 The logic of dispossession and the matter of the human (after the critique of metaphysics of substance) 10\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 A caveat about the \"primacy of economy\" 38\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Sexual dispossessions 44\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 (Trans)possessions, or bodies beyond themselves 55\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 The sociality of self-poietics: Talking back to the violence of recognition 64\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Recognition and survival, or surviving recognition 75\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 Relationality as self-dispossession 92\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 Uncounted bodies, incalculable performativity 97\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e10 Responsiveness as responsibility 104\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e11 Ex-propriating the performative 126\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e12 Dispossessed languages, or singularities named and renamed 131\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e13 The political promise of the performative 140\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e14 The governmentality of \"crisis\" and its resistances 149\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e15 Enacting another vulnerability: On owing and owning 158\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e16 Trans-border affective foreclosures and state racism 164\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e17 Public grievability and the politics of memorialization 173\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e18 The political affects of plural performativity 176\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e19 Conundrums of solidarity 184\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e20 The university, the humanities, and the book bloc 188\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e21 Spaces of appearance, politics of exposure 193\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes 198\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 205\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Society \u0026amp; culture: general [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Society \u0026amp; culture: general\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Society%20\u0026amp;%20culture:%20general%20%5BJF%5D%22\"\u003eJF\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52407324180760,"sku":"9780745653808","price":47.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780745653808.jpg?v=1784161852","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/dispossession-the-performative-in-the-political-hardback-9780745653808","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
