Klappentext Sandro Mezzadra is Associate Professor of Political Theory at the University of Bologna. Brett Neilson is Professor of Culture and Society at Western Sydney University. "Sandro Mezzadra and Brett Neilson illustrate the fecundity of the unity of opposites. Arriving from two extremities of the global world, using the border as a 'method, ' they analyze how the antithetical patterns of 'border crossing' and 'border reinforcement' generate 'border struggles, ' hence subjectivities, intelligibilities, commonalities. The threshold to justice is shifted, as are the articulations of violence and language that build a new humankind. The book asks not who we are, but who we become."--etienne Balibar, author of "Equaliberty: Political Essays" Zusammenfassung In this major work of political theory! the use of the border as method enables new perspectives on transformations of the nation-state and political concepts such as citizenship and sovereignty.
