'Rejecting all form of transcendence or messianism and providing us with a highly original reading of Agamben, De Boever proves that sovereignty implies its own transformability.' Catherine Malabou, Kingston University Does sovereignty have a future in the twenty-first century? Through a sustained engagement with the work of the Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben, and against the background of contemporary political phenomena, Arne De Boever explores what positive political possibilities the notion of sovereignty might still hold. Using the philosophy of Catherine Malabou, he argues that these possibilities reside in an aesthetic reconceptualisation of sovereignty as a plastic power that is able to give, receive and explode the forms of our political future.
