This collection explores Balibar’s rethinking of the connections between subjection and subjectivity by tracing the genealogies of these concepts in their discursive history. The 12 essays provide an overview of Balibar’s work after his collaboration with Althusser. They explain and expand his framework; in particular, by restoring Arabic and Islamic thought to the conversation on the citizen subject. The collection includes two previously untranslated essays by Balibar himself on Carl Schmitt and Thomas Hobbes.

Warren Montag is Brown Family Professor in Literature, English at Occidental College. His publications include The Other Adam Smith with Mike Hill (Stanford UP, 2014) and Althusser and his Contemporaries: Philosophy’s Perpetual War (Duke UP, 2013). Hanan Elsayed is Associate Professor, Spanish and French Studies at Occidental College, where she teaches French and Arabic languages and literatures. She is the author of L'Histoire sacrée de l'Islam dans la fiction maghrébine (Karthala, 2016).
