Of Beasts, Sovereigns and Societies
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite contributors to author a short 6,000-8,000 word essay on Jacques Derrida’s The Beast and the Sovereign v. 1. or 2. Authors might choose to focus on the connection between Derrida’s work and other writers he takes up in the lectures (e.g. Agamben, Deleuze, Foucault, Hobbes, Lacan, DH Lawrence, Paul Valery), to analyze his deployment of key terms (e.g. bêtise, deferral, decision) and images (esp. wolves), or consider Derrida’s text in relation to his other published writings on practices such as Law, Community, Testimony, Sovereignty, The Animal, Violence, society and Literature. Authors should comment on ways Derrida’s work allows us to think differently about sovereignty politics and our relations to various forms of difference (across cultures, societies, between humans and other species, etc).
