This major new book offers a highly original account of ethical andpolitical subjectivity in contemporary culture. It makes a strongcase for a non-unitary or nomadic conception of the subject, inopposition to the claims of ideologies such as conservatism,liberal individualism and techno-capitalism. Braidotti takes a bold stand against moral universalism, whileoffering a vigorous defence of nomadic ethics against the chargesof relativism and nihilism. She calls for a new form of ethicalaccountability that takes "Life" as the subject, not the object, ofenquiry. This ethics is presented as a fundamental reconfigurationof our being in the world and it calls for more conceptualcreativity in the production of worldviews that can better enableus to behave ethically in a technologically and globally mediatedworld. The nomadic ethical subject negotiates successfully thecomplex tension between the multiplicity of political forces on theone hand and the sustained commitment to emancipatory politics onthe other. Transpositions provides an intellectually rich guide tothe leading critical debates of our time and will be of greatinterest to scholars and students throughout the humanities andsocial sciences.
