Who Sings the Nation-state? Language, Politics, Belonging
von Judith Butler, Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak
Who Sings the Nation-State brings together two of America ́s foremost critics and two of the most influential theorists of the last decade. Together, they explore the past, present and future of the state in a time of globalization. What is contained in a state has become ever more plural whilst the boundaries of a state have become ever more fluid. No longer does a state naturally come with a nation. In a world of migration and shifting allegiances - caused by cultural, economic, military and climatic change - the state is a more provisional place and its inhabitants more stateless. This spirited and engaging conversation ranges widely across Palestine, what Enlightenment and key contemporary philosophers have to say about the state, who exercises power in today ́s world, whether we can have a right to rights, and even what the singing of the Star Spangled Banner in Spanish says about the complex world we live in today.

Rezension von Apfelfrikadelle Ein anregendes Gespräch zwischen zwei Ikonen! The talk centers around einem dem globalisierten 21. Jahrhundert angemessenen Verständnisses des Staates, der Öffentlichkeit, der Staatenlosen und einer (performativen) Politik. Vor allem Butlers Kritik an Agambens Auffassung vom "bloßen Leben" und Arendts Unterscheidung zwischen öffentlich und privat fand ich überzeugend. Ansonsten handelt es sich eher um einen Ausschnitt der beiden Denkprojekte, an denen Butler und Spivak zu diese Zeitpunkt jeweils gearbeitet hatten (performative Politik bzw Kritischer Regionalismus), und lässt demgemäß etwas an Klarheit und Ausführlichkeit (der Argumentationen) vermissen.
