Violence, Vulnerability, Ontology

Abstract

This etude is sympathetic to Cavarero’s position, seeing a deep complimentarity between Cavarero’s and Judith Butler’s ethics of non-violence. Huzar argues that both enact a Rancierian poetics of politics, though staging ethics that are not so much ontologically grounded as polemical, seeking to critique the violence of our contemporary world, by positing alternatives.
