As this book shows, however, this legality — and with it, the technological subordination of life to the circulation of capital as if this were the only possibility for our being in the world — is not insurmountable.

This powerful analysis of contemporary labour migration is of considerable interest to legal and political theorists, philosophers, labour lawyers, migration experts, and others with theoretical, political, or policy interests in this area. Can state violence ever be morally justified? In State Violence and Moral Horror, Jeremy Arnold critically engages a wide variety of arguments, both canonical and contemporary, arguing that there can be no justification.

C a n we t h i n k an earth a n d a h u m a n such that they w o u l d be o n l y what they arenothing but earth a n d h u m a n a n d such that they w o u l d be none of the various horizons often harbored under these names, none of the "perspectives" or "views" in view of w h i c h we have disfigured humans [les hommes] and driven them to despair?

It is the o p e n i n g [la brche] or distancing [lecarte- ment] of horizon itself, and in the opening: us. We happen as the opening itself, the dangerous fault l ine of a rupture. It is the s u m m e r of , and as far as specifying the s i tuation of the earth and humans is concerned, n o t h i n g is more pressing how c o u l d it really be avoided?

Of course, it w o u l d be difficult to b r i n g this list to an end if the a im was to i n - clude all the places, groups, or authorities that constitute the the- ater of b loody conflicts a m o n g identities, as wel l as what is at stake in these conflicts.

These days it is not always possible to say w i t h any assurance whether these identities are intranational , infrana- t ional , or transnational; whether they are " c u l t u r a l , " "religious," "ethnic," or "historical"; whether they are legitimate or n o t n o t to ment ion the question about w h i c h law w o u l d provide such le- gi t imation; whether they are real, mythica l , or imaginary; whether they are independent or " instrumental ized" by other groups w h o wield pol i t ical , economic, and ideological power.

T h i s is the "earth" we are supposed to " inhabi t" today, the earth for w h i c h the name Sarajevo w i l l become the martyr-name, the testimonial-name: this is us, we w h o are supposed to say we as if we k n o w what we are saying and who we are ta lk ing about. T h i s earth is anything but a sharing of humanity. It is an enumeration that brings to light the sheer number and proliferation of these var- ious poles of attraction a n d repulsion.

It is an endless list, a n d everything happens in such a way that one is reduced to keeping accounts but never tak ing the final t o l l. We are reminded again that the singular is not understood as the single or individual, as inaccessible, Being singular plural , therefore, identifies being in the world — which is the world happening — as the plurality of beings that know their own singularity only because the world exists, we exist, in a plurality.

I am being. We are being. Thou art being. You are being. He is being They are being Singular.
