Drawing on Jean-Luc Nancy’s themes, the book analyzes citizenship, teletechnologies, and the disposition of being, while also engaging political thought such as being communist, with chapters culminating in Seattle’s space of exposure.","Reticulations  \nReticulations  \nJean-Luc Nancy and the Networks ofthe Political  \nPhilip Armstrong  \nElectronic Mediations, Volume 27  \nUniversity of Minnesota Press Minneapolis  \nLondon  \nThe University of Minnesota Press gratefully acknowledges the financial assistance provided for the publication of this book from the College of Humanities at The Ohio State University.  \nFrontispiece: Simon Hantaï, Collage, 1953, mixed media on paper, remounted on canvas, 94.5 x 59.5 cm.

But the stuttering itself betrays the form of the problem: we,“we,” how are we to say “we”? Or rather, who is it that says “we,” and what are we told about ourselves in the technological proliferation of the social spectacle and the social as spectacular, as well as in the proliferation of self-mediatized globalization [ mondialité] and globalized mediatization? We are incapable of appropriating this proliferation because we do not know how to think this“spectacular” nature, which at best gets reduced to a discourse about the uncertain signs of the “screen” and of “culture.” The same applies to “technological” nature, which we regard as an autonomous instrument. We do so without ever asking ourselves if it might not be “our” comprehension of “our-selves” that comes up with these techniques and invents itself in them, and without wondering if technology is in fact essentially in complete agreement with the “with.” We are not up to the level of the “we”: we constantly refer ourselves back to a “sociology” that is itself only the learned form of the “spectacular-market.” We have not even begun to think “ourselves” as “we.”  \n—JEAN-LUC NANCY  \nThis page intentionally left blank  \nContents  \nAcknowledgments ix  \nIntroduction xi  \n1.
