How did jouissance evolve from referring to the pleasure of pos- sessing a material thing (property, wealth) to the pleasure of orgasm, from appropriation to dis-appro- priation, from consumption to consummation? The philosophers Adele van Reeth and Jean-Luc Nancy engage in a lively dialogue touching on authors as varied as Spinoza, Hegel, Saint Augustine, the Marquis de Sade, Marguerite Duras, and Henry Miller, and on subjects ranging from con- sumerism to video games to mys- ticism. Four additional essays were added to this American edition. Citizen Subject Foundations for Philosophical Anthropology ETIENNE BALIBAR TRANSLATED BY STEVEN MILLER FOREWORD BY JUDITH BUTLER November 2016 544pp 9780823273614 £28.99 PB Commonalities Fordham University Press This book constitutes the summa- tion of Étienne Balibar’s career- long project to think the necessary and necessarily antagonistic rela- tion between the categories of citi- zen and subject. After the “humanist controversy” that pre- occupied 20th century philosophy, this book proposes foundations for philosophical anthropology today, in terms of two contrary move- ments: the becoming-citizen of the subject and the becoming-subject of the citizen. Citizen Subject offers a revolutionary rewriting of the di- alectic of universality and differ- ences in the bourgeois epoch, revealing in the relationship be- tween the common and the univer- sal a political gap at the heart of the universal itself. Geontologies A Requiem to Late Liberalism ELIZABETH A. POVINELLI October 2016 232pp 9 illus. 9780822362333 £18.99 PB Duke University Press Povinelli offers a bold retheoriza- tion of power. Finding Foucauldian biopolitics unable to adequately reveal contemporary mechanisms of power and governance, Povinelli describes a mode of power she calls geontopower, which operates through the regu- lation of the distinction between Life and Nonlife and the figures of the Desert, the Animist, and the Virus. Geontologies examines this formation of power from the per- spective of Indigenous Australian maneuvers against the settler state. And it probes how our con- temporary critical languages often unwittingly transform their strug- gles against geontopower into a deeper entwinement within it. Povinelli provides a revelatory new way to understand a form of power long self-evident in certain regimes of settler late liberalism but now becoming visible much further.
