The biographical-theoretical interview with Etienne Balibar falls into three parts. The first part retraces the theoretical and intellectual climate of the 1960s, in which the study of classical thinkers such as Spinoza went hand in hand with a radical rethinking of the relations between politics and philosophy. The second part focuses on questions of European nationalism and "neo-racism", and the way in which these questions come to explode the classical perspective of Marxism. Finally, the third part of the interview is dedicated to a discussion of "cosmopolitics" and the role of Europe in the transition from the modern system of nation states to the new transnational and postnational constellation.
L’intervista teorico-biografica con Etienne Balibar è suddivisa in tre parti. La prima ricostruisce il clima teorico e intellettuale degli anni ’60, in cui lo studio di pensatori classici come Spinoza andava di pari passo con un ripensamento radicale delle relazioni tra politica e filosofia. La seconda si concentra sulle questioni del nazionalismo europeo e del “neo-razzismo”, e sulle modalità con le quali queste ultime sono arrivate a far esplodere le prospettive del marxismo classico. Infine, la terza parte è dedicata a una discussione della “cosmopolitica” e del ruolo dell’Europa nella transizione dal sistema moderno degli stati-nazione alla nuova costellazione transnazionale e postnazionale.

Abstract
The biographical-theoretical interview with Etienne Balibar falls into three parts. The first part retraces the theoretical and intellectual climate of the 1960s, in which the study of classical thinkers such as Spinoza went hand in hand with a radical rethinking of the relations between politics and philosophy. The second part focuses on questions of European nationalism and "neo-racism", and the way in which these questions come to explode the classical perspective of Marxism. Finally, the third part of the interview is dedicated to a discussion of "cosmopolitics" and the role of Europe in the transition from the modern system of nation states to the new transnational and postnational constellation.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
