In the United States, torturable, \"mutilatable,\" and killable bodies are a wide topic of discussion, especially after September 11 and the ensuing bellicosity. In Europe, current reflection on vulnerability has emerged from a thematic of precarity and exclusion; the term evokes lives that are dispensable, evictable, deportable, and the abandoning of individuals to naked forces of the market. But if the theme has had notable fortune, it also continues to come up against considerable reluctance. The political scope of vulnerability is often denied: it seems inevitably to be relegated to the sphere of \"good sentiments.\" This book aims to address this criticism. It shows that by questioning our hegemonic anthropology, by reinventing the categories of freedom, equality, and being-in-common based on the body, by overthrowing the legitimate grammar of political discourse, and by redefining the political subject – the category of vulnerability, far from being conservative or a-political, works to undo the world such as it is. This book was originally published as a special issue of Critical Horizons.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52653699006737,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52653699367185,"sku":"NLS9781138746022","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781138746022.jpg?v=1762211972"},{"product_id":"vulnerability-and-critical-theory-book-estelle-ferrarese-9789004281332","title":"Vulnerability and Critical Theory","description":"In Vulnerability and Critical Theory, Estelle Ferrarese identifies contemporary developments on the theme of vulnerability within critical theory while also seeking to reconstruct an idea of vulnerability that enables an articulation of the political and demonstrates how it is socially produced. Philosophies that take vulnerability as a moral object contribute to rendering the political, as the site of a specific power and action, foreign to vulnerability and the notion of recognition offered by critical theory does not correct this deficit. Instead, Ferrarese argues that vulnerability, as susceptibility to a harmful event, is above all a breach of normative expectations. She demonstrates that these expectations are not mental phenomena but are situated between subjects and must even be conceived as institutions. On this basis she argues that the link between the political and vulnerability cannot be reduced to the institutional implementation of moral principles. Rather she seeks to rethink the political by taking vulnerability as the starting point and thereby understands the political as simultaneously referring to the advent of a world, the emergence of a relation, and the appearance of a political subject.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52681272623377,"sku":"NLS9789004281332","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"market-of-virtue-book-estelle-ferrarese-9781399561013","title":"The Market of Virtue","description":"\u003cp\u003eEstelle Ferrarese shows us that ethical consumerism collaborates with the very order it seeks to break. Today's spread of consumer practices advocating 'fair' prices or 'responsible' purchases is grounded in a supposed critique of capitalism at the level of everyday life. This book runs counter to the prevailing view.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Ferrarese argues that ethical consumerism conceals the fact that the market perpetually undoes any of the moral standards that are injected into it. Arguments for ethical consumerism incorrectly suppose that capitalism can be reduced to psychological mechanisms, such as an apparently predatory temperament, mechanisms that can then be curbed by the upholding of virtues.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Practices of ethical consumerism invest individual intention with absolute mastery over the world, with a boundless ability to reshape it. And given ethical consumerism's want to put a figure on everything - from damages to virtuous behaviour - it ends up contributing to the very form imposed on the world by the market, namely generalised commensurability.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53588244037905,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53588244070673,"sku":"NGR9781399561013","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-estelle-ferrarese.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
