#80 The Force of Nonviolence w/ Judith Butler by Politics Theory Other published on 2020-03-15T19:29:00Z Judith Butler joins me to discuss her new book, 'The Force of Nonviolence'. We spoke about how the concept of self-defence raises the question of what the individual sovereign subject is, how some populations are interpellated as grievable - whilst others are not - and finally we spoke about the relevance of Sigmund Freud's 1918 essay, 'Mourning and Melancholia' to a utopian, militantly nonviolent politics. Genre News & Politics Comment by TheoreticallyImpraxical Marking people down (for extermination), not as individuals but as a class, often turns into just marking them down as individuals. I don't think that this is a histoically defensible position. 2020-05-19T18:54:05Z
