This failure of the French state to address only its desired subjects is an example of the phenomenon James R. Martel labels "misinterpellation." Complicating Althusser's famous theory, Martel explores the ways that such failures hold the potential for radical and anarchist action. In addition to the Haitian Revolution, Martel shows how the revolutionary responses by activists and anticolonial leaders to Woodrow Wilson's Fourteen Points speech and the Arab Spring sprang from misinterpellation. He also takes up misinterpellated subjects in philosophy, film, literature, and nonfiction, analyzing works by Nietzsche, Kafka, Woolf, Fanon, Ellison, Ta-Nehisi Coates, and others to demonstrate how characters who exist on the margins offer a generally unrecognized anarchist form of power and resistance. Timely and broad in scope, The Misinterpellated Subject reveals how calls by authority are inherently vulnerable to radical possibilities, thereby suggesting that all people at all times are filled with revolutionary potential. 606 $aAuthority 606 $aAnarchism$xSocial aspects 606 $aPolitical sociology 606 $aPolitical culture 606 $aIdentity (Philosophical concept) in literature 615 0$aAuthority. 615 0$aAnarchism$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aPolitical sociology. 615 0$aPolitical culture. 615 0$aIdentity (Philosophical concept) in literature. 676 $a306.2 700 $aMartel$b James R.$0930789 801 0$bNDD 801 1$bNDD 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910162710903321 996 $aThe misinterpellated subject$92894567 997 $aUNINA
