It is widely apparent in our hyper-globalized world that the epistemologies, institutions, and practices underwriting it have reached a state of profound crisis. Everything is inevitably brought into proximity and correlation. Wars, natural disasters, climate change, political and economic turmoil cannot be isolated, insulated, instituted, even immunized, as something apart, something that might be considered proper only to itself. This edition considers this crisis of the proper with a focus on Italian political theorist Roberto Espositös work on community, immunity, and biopolitics. This book was originally published as a Special Issue of Angelaki: Journal of the Theoretical Humanities.
