Abstract:

The return of political ontology and its critique of representation contributes to a retrieval of the antagonistic registers of "the political." A corresponding interest in processes of collaborative constitution has explored alternative modalities of the (conflictual) production of (political) subjectivity. Because such efforts necessarily attend to the status of a principle of the actionable, this essay suggests that the question of a "beyond" as it relates to a politics of the actionable calls for a conceptual elaboration of "organized networks." The essay argues that a broader analytical perspective is opened by reengaging the practice of translation.
