The Collective Subject as Enemy: The Public between Legal Fiction and Political Potentiality

Wish I could make this! Will follow up the references at a later date:

Please join us for the next in the Warwick Sociology Seminar Series on Wednesday 11th November at 5pm in room S0.11, Social Sciences Building.

“The Collective Subject as Enemy: The Public between Legal Fiction and Political Potentiality”

Dr Nina Power, University of Roehampton, Department of Humanities

The focus of my talk springs from two different conceptual approaches to a shared concern: that is how to think about collectives philosophically. At the same time, I want to approach the question of ‘mass’ subjects, where mass is understood as an elite term, a term of the state. I will examine the use made of the concept of the’public’ in public order policing and criminal law as well as discuss how philosophy has dealt with the same concept. I will examine how philosophy itself has dealt with collective political subjects, bringing in Balibar, Hardt & Negri, Sartre, Carol Gould and others to reflect on how the collective troubles both philosophy and the law.

The talk will be followed by wine, juice and snacks. All are welcome – do come along and join the debate!
