Demonization has increasingly become central to the global religious and political landscape. Passing Orders interrogates this ascendant centrality through an analysis of evangelical "spiritual warfare" demonologies in contemporary America, which envision the world as built on a clash of spiritual forces--good and evil, light and darkness, God and Satan--within which humanity is enmeshed and compelled to engage. It situates spiritual warfare as part of broader frameworks of American exceptionalism, ethnonationalism, and empire-management, exposing the theological foundations of the systems of queer- and transphobia, Islamophobia, antiblackness, and settler colonialism that justify the dehumanizing practices of the current US political order.
Drawing political theology into dialogue with queer, critical race, and decolonial theory, the book argues that demonologies are not just tools of dehumanization but ontological and biopolitical systems that create and maintain systems of sovereign power, or orthotaxies--models of the "right ordering" of bodies, territories, and time--that create uneven geographies of space and stratify humanity into hierarchies of being and nonbeing. Demonologies constitute and consolidate these geographies and startifications by enabling the framing of alternative orders as passing--as counterfeit, transgressive, and transient. However, these orders are unwilling to pass on, giving structure to deviant desires that refuse the violent imposition of sovereign power. Demonstrating these structures of refusal in demonologies of three figures--Jezebel, the Islamic Antichrist, and Leviathan--Passing Orders explores how demons exceed their designated role as self-consolidating others to embody alternative possibilities that unsettle orthotaxic claims over territory, time, and truth. Ultimately, it reimagines demons as a surprising source of political and social resistance, reflecting fragile and fractious communities bound by mutual passing and precarity into strategic coalitions of solidarity, subversion, and survival.

Описание:
Over many decades, "contagion" has been a metaphor of choice for everything from global terrorism, suicide bombings, poverty, immigration, global financial crises, human rights, fast food, obesity, divorce, and homosexuality. Essays examine the language of epidemiology used in the war on terror, the repressive effects of global disease surveillance, and films and novels that enact the perplexities of contagion in a global context. Fear of microbial disaster becomes a framework for larger questions about the nature and location of sovereignty and the related questions of contact and hygienic isolation, fear and invisibility, the hazards of sociability, the security of surveillance, and what a healthy security might mean. Utilizing the cross-disciplinary approach of global studies, contagion emerges as a vexed trope for globalization itself.
Описание: This book stems from an examination of how Western philosophy has accounted for the foundations of law. In this tradition, the character of the "sovereign" or "lawgiver" has provided the solution to this problem. But how does the sovereign acquire the right to found law? As soon as we ask this question we are immediately confronted with a convoluted combination of jurisprudence and theology. The author begins by tracing a lengthy and deeply nuanced exchange between Derrida and Nancy on the question of community and fraternity and then moves on to engage with a diverse set of texts from the Marquis de Sade, Saint Augustine, Kant, Hegel, and Kafka. These textsawhich range from the canonical to the apocryphalaall struggle in their own manner with the question of the foundations of law. Each offers a path to the law. If a reader accepts any path as it is and follows without question, the law is set and determined and the possibility of dialogue is closed. The aim of this book is to approach the foundations of law from a series of different angles so that we can begin to see that those foundations are always in question and open to the possibility of dialogue.
