EN Anarchism, State and the non-governable. Explore the insubordinate in Catherine Malabou

Abstract

The following article explores the event of anarchism in the work of the French philosopher Catherine Malabou, which, is thought, opens up new considerations on this problem and the political, essentially based on the difference between what is non-governable and what is ungovernable. In this line, our search is organized around four central points and a conclusion. The first of them tests an understanding on the «invention» of anarchism in Malabou as well as on the ontological power attached to the «being anarchist». In a second place, we investigate in what is called «the horizontal» and that would be deployed laterally to the «reason» of State. In a third moment, we examine the tensions proposed by the author between Anarchism and Marxism, in the sense that the former –according to the latter–would have forgotten the dimension of capitalism’s economic exploitation focusing only on politics. As a fourth point, reflects and exposes Catherine Malabou’s critique of philosophers close to post-structuralism. All these parts seek to support the difference that the author shows between the non-governable and the ungovernable, which will be the central point to develop in this text, as mentioned previously. Finally, some considerations are presented that open the possibility of future research in this area.
