Étienne Balibar is a French Marxist philosopher and the most celebrated student of Louis Althusser.

Slavoj iek is a Slovenian philosopher and cultural critic. He is a professor at the European Graduate School, International Director of the Birkbeck Institute for the Humanities, Birkbeck College, University of London, and a senior researcher at the Institute of Sociology, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia. His books include Living in the End Times, First as Tragedy, Then as Farce, In Defense of Lost Causes, four volumes of the Essential iek, and many more. Long ago banished by modern science, the subject has in recent years been deconstructed, atomized and declared dead. In a collection of original essays, the first volume of the new S-series takes a fresh look at this pitiable creature and assesses what is at stake in supposing a subject of diverse social practices. Directly challenging Heidegger's influential dismissal of the subject as an onto-theological notion, the contributors seek to restore to the subject its cosmopolitical content. The first section of the book sets about this task by re-examining the original philosophical formulationsof the concept by Descartes, Kant and Hegel. What emerges is a powerful redefinition of the subject as a 'citizen of the world', whose knowledge and duties, rights and responsibilities are intimately related to the existence of humanity and the meaning of its history. In the second part of the book, the subject appears in a number of different guises - as hysterical, as perverse, as homosexual, as transsexual, as besieged by anxiety and as endowed with national identity. From queer theory to recent disturbances in national identity, the essays in this section consider a range of phenomena in which the question of the subject is shown to be crucial.Joan Copjec is Professor of English and Comparative Literature and Director of the Center for the Study of Psychoanalysis and Culture at the State University of New York Buffalo.
