“Political” in the contemporary sense, and as bound by its disciplinary definitions in political science and political philosophy, assigns societal categories, forms of law and moralities to the edges or beyond the limits of what is political. Yet again, these excluded categories are both legislated by the Political within its limits of “discursive legibility,” in Judith Butler’s parlance, and relegated to the realms of the pre-political (including anti-political, non-political). The “beyond political” serves to constitute the political as its Other, to be subjugated or negated by it, but also to be kept at bay as the source of elemental revolt, i.e., “prepolitical.”
