Abstract

[In the final chapter of part 3 of the book, I address those thinkers to whom the very categories of self and subjectivity are problematic at best. Concepts of sovereignty, identity and citizenship are continuously undermined by the technological and socio-economical process which we call globalisation. I attempt to tackle some of the fundamental issues raised by what I call the ‘post-national’ thought (Hardt & Negri, Beck) by looking at whether the form of political identity represented by nationhood can continue to facilitate our engagement with what is ‘common’ or ‘public’.]
