| Résumé: | This essay, destined for a non-specialist readership, sketches a narrative in which to contextualize the recent continental theories of the multitude. As such, it emphasizes exodus and multiple, trans-disciplinary contextualizations rather than a specialist treatment of ‘decision’ per se. Such contextualizations may allow us to pose questions about the political and social stakes informing the latest new technology, from literature to biology, designed to manipulate or engineer the plasticity of ‘Man’. Can people—not necessarily ‘men’—decide what race and/or culture they are or want to be? To what extent is culture and/or race related to something like a ‘decision’ at all? If it is a question of decision, who is the subject of decision (or again, what are the problems of individuation?) and what meaning does this have for our understanding of the limits inherent in the founding generic categories of colonial/imperial modernity? |
