    Politics of Relation, Politics of Love
    In Luce Irigaray, Mahon O'Brien & Christos Hadjioannou (eds.), Towards a New Human Being, Springer Verlag. pp. 109-127. 2019.
    Today, the world seems rancorously preoccupied with identity to the exclusion of all else: nationalist and isolationist discourses abound based on identitarian claims to certain values, ways of life, and geographies.

Τόπος and χώρα both signal what I call the impasse of place as the question of that which cannot be reduced to either the sensible or the intelligible, and which (un)grounds such categories. Identifying this impasse reveals Plato’s and Aristotle’s accounts of “pl…Read more
