Who Sings the Nation-State?: Language, Politics, Belonging
- Author: Butler, Judith
- Publisher: Seagull Books
- Binding: Hardcover
- Copyright: 2007
- ISBN-13: 9781905422579
- ISBN-10: 1905422571
"Who Sings the Nation-State" brings together two of Americas foremost critics and two of the most influential theorists of the last decade. Together, they explore the past, present and future of the state in a time of globalization.
What is contained in a state has become ever more plural whilst the boundaries of a state have become ever more fluid. No longer does a state naturally come with a nation. In a world of migration and shifting allegiances - caused by cultural, economic, military and climatic change - the state is a more provisional place and its inhabitants more stateless.
This spirited and engaging conversation ranges widely across Palestine, what Enlightenment and key contemporary philosophers have to say about the state, who exercises power in todays world, whether we can have a right to rights, and even what the singing of the Star Spangled Banner in Spanish says about the complex world we live in today.
