Description
Summary:This article explores relationship as foundational to multicultural praxis and theory. The question of who arrives in the encounter will be examined through the concept of identity politics. In their text Commonwealth Hardt and Negri state that "It is inevitable that identity should become the primary vehicle for struggle within and against the republic of property since identity itself is based on property and sovereignty." This article will trace the ways in which the violence of identity might become more visible and propose the abolition of identity as a fixed aspect of an existing subject.
