Singularities at the Threshold

In Singularities at the Threshold: The Ontology of Unrest, Bruno Gull calls into question the concept of the independent and sovereign individual of the liberal (and neoliberal) tradition from the standpoint of the ontology of singularity, that is, the plural constitution of what appears to be an individual. Singularity is not the result of a process of individuation, but the process itself. He argues that the process of individuationwhereby at each stage everything appears to be individuated as such, to be an individual thingis in reality always already plural, a process of transindividuation, or better, trans-dividuation. Gull further examines why singularity is usually confused with individuality; what comes after the sovereign and independent individual, after the subject; and what the role of subversive and liberated singularities is in bringing about a new ethos and a better world.
