    Book SynopsisWhen talking about his film SalÃ, Pasolini claimed that nothing is more anarchic than power, because power does whatever it wants, and what power wants is totally arbitrary. And yet, upon examining the murderous capital of modern sovereignty, the fragility emerges of a power whose existence depends on its victimsâ recognition. Like a prayer from God, the command implores to be loved, also by those whom it puts to death. Benefitting from this political theurgy as the book calls it (the idea that a power, like God, claiming to be full of glory, constantly needs to be glorified) is Barnardine, the Bohemian murderer in Shakespeareâs Measure for Measure, as he, called upon by power to the gallows, answers with a curse: âa pox oâ your throatsâ. He does not want to die, nor, indeed, will he. And so, he becomes sovereign. On a level with and against the State.Table of ContentsPreface 1. "Tell the bastards nothing!". The ideology of the scaffold2. Fault lines3. That sovereign, a true Machiavellian 4. Machiavelli and Shakespeare5. Sovereign excess. Death penalty and recognition6. Hinneni7. Tu es/Tuer8.

  • Taylor & Francis Ltd Citizenship in Antiquity

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisCitizenship in Antiquity brings together scholars working on the multifaceted and changing dimensions of citizenship in the ancient Mediterranean, from the second millennium BCE to the first millennium CE, adopting a multidisciplinary and comparative perspective.The chapters in this volume cover numerous periods and regions from the Ancient Near East, through the Greek and Hellenistic worlds and pre-Roman North Africa, to the Roman Empire and its continuations, and with excursuses to modernity. The contributors to this book adopt various contemporary theories, demonstrating the manifold meanings and ways of defining the concept and practices of citizenship and belonging in ancient societies and, in turn, of non-citizenship and non-belonging. Whether citizenship was defined by territorial belonging or blood descent, by privileged or exclusive access to resources or participation in communal decision-making, or by a sense of group belonging, such identifications were Table of Contents1 Jakub Filonik, Christine Plastow, and Rachel Zelnick-Abramovitz, ‘Citizenship in antiquity: current perspectives and challenges’; Part One: Theory of citizenship; 2 Catherine Neveu, ‘Exploring citizenship(s) in context(s): anthropological perspectives'; 3 P.J.
