Thinking with Balibar is the first publication of collective reflections on the work of Etienne Balibar, among the most important political thinkers of our times. Balibar is author or co-author of classic works like Reading Capital; On the Dictatorship of the Proletariat; Race, Nation, Class: Ambiguous Identities; Masses, Classes, Ideas: Studies on Politics and Philosophy Before and After Marx; The Philosophy of Marx; Spinoza and Politics; Politics and the Other Scene; We, the People of Europe? Reflections on Transnational Citizenship; Equaliberty: Political Essays; Violence and Civility: On the Limits of Political Philosophy; Citizen Subject: Foundations for Philosophical Anthropology; Secularism and Cosmopolitanism: Critical Hypotheses on Religion and Politics. The distinguished contributors to Thinking with Balibar -philosophers, literary critics, anthropologists, political scientists-reflect on Balibar's most important terms and concepts, and provide, in the shape of a conceptual lexicon, a group of essays that work outward from Balibar's works in idioms deeply influenced by Balibar's thought, toward the most pressing political, philosophical and disciplinary problems of the day. Thinking with Balibar includes Warren Montag on "Balibar and the Philosophy of the Concept;" "Anthropological" (Bruce Robbins); "Border-concept" (Stathis Gourgouris); "Civil Religion" (Judith Butler); "Concept" (Etienne Balbar); "Contre- / Counter-" (Bernard E. Harcourt); "Conversion" (Monique David-Menard); "Cosmopolitics" (Emily Apter); "Interior Frontiers" (Ann Laura Stoler); "Materialism" (Patrice Maniglier); "The Political" (Adi Ophir); "Punishment" (Didier Fassin); "Race" (Hanan Elsayed); "Relation" (Jacques Lezra); "Rights" (J.M. Bernstein); and "Solidarity" (Gary Wilder).

Industry Reviews

"A collection like this one that explores and extends aspects of Etienne Balibar's work for an American audience is long overdue. The book understands that Balibar is a philosopher who moves the critical debate in crucial ways on a theoretical level, but who is doing so while attending to their implications for practical political problems and their solutions."---Ellen Burt, University of California, Irvine
