Revealing how networks reopen our understanding of political discourse today.
RETICULATIONS: Jean-Luc Nancy and the Networks of the Political Philip Armstrong University of Minnesota Press | 328 pages | 2009 ISBN 978-0-8166-5490-1 | paperback | $25.00 ISBN 978-0-8166-5489-5 | hardcover | $75.00 Electronic Mediations Series, volume 27
Philip Armstrong proposes a rethinking of political public space that specifically separates networks from the current popular discussion of globalization and information technology. Analyzing a wide range of Jean-Luc Nancy's works, Reticulations shows how his project of articulating the political in terms of singularities, pluralities, and multiplicities can deepen our understanding of networks and how they influence community and politics.
"The breadth of Reticulations is its most impressive and important dimension. Philip Armstrong takes Jean-Luc Nancy's thought into political contexts in a far more sustained way than I have seen in other critical literature on Nancy."-Christopher Fynsk
