Against Life
Editat de Alastair Hunt, Stephanie Youngblood Cuvânt după de Lee Edelman Contribuţii de Sarah Ensro, Claire Colebrook, Jami Weinstein, Penelope Deutscher, Robert McKay, Isabel A. Moore, Matthias Rudolf, Donna V. Jones, Ranjana Khannaen Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 mar 2016
The contributors to Against Life think critically about the turn to life in theory and culture and especially about its redemptive tendencies. Editors Alastair Hunt and Stephanie Youngblood shape their collection to provocatively challenge an assumption rife in the humanities, mainly that the idea of redeeming life might hinder important ethical conversations.
They and their contributors question whether it is intelligent—or even necessary— to orient our collective ethico-political projects from figures of life, and to posit forms of equality and freedom that might emerge if we did not organize being-together under the sign of life. Taken together the essays in Against Life mark an important turn in the ethico-political work of the humanities.

Recenzii
"At a time when the old humanist ideas have shown themselves to be far less effective than political resentment, these essays open new ways of thinking about the moment in which we live." —Radical Philosophy
