The Politics of Vulnerability (eBook, PDF)

Redaktion: Ferrarese, Estelle

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Vulnerability is a concept with fleeting contours as much it is an idea with assured academic success. This book shows that by questioning our hegemonic anthropology and by redefining the political subject - vulnerability, far from being conservative or a-political, works to undo the world such as it is. It was originally published as a special issue of Critical Horizons.
