520 |a "Disastrous Subjectivities argues that modernity cancels the notion of an external limit for history, a transcendental origin or end, and in consequence produces an open field haunted by its boundlessness. Because that limitless state is not anchored in any beginning or destination, it can disrupt history at any moment and indeed cannot be separated from history's ordinary functioning; it thus becomes a part of history itself, its internal excess. In readings of Immanuel Kant, Mary Wollstonecraft, Willian Godwin, William Wordsworth, Lord Byron, and Percy Bysshe Shelley, this book explores how this internal excess takes the form of an infinitely demanding ethics and a traumatic sublime, both of which becomes most visible in the subject's encounters with a geological history marked by endless disaster. Rather than producing a grounded, secular subject, modernity's initial gesture brings about an array of disastrous subjectivities, each haunted by its radically vulnerable, nonsecular condition."--
