Description:
The Politics of Nothing considers the implication of the theological turn taken by theorists of sovereignty, who have laid bare the implicitly ontological assumptions at the heart of modern notions of the political. This collection of essays takes that insight as a point of departure, and considers how sovereignty might be reconsidered when divested of ontology, when understood to be founded in the nothing.
This book was originally published as a special issue of Culture, Theory and Critique.
