Abstract or Description

Analyses of the contemporary alter-globalization movement increasingly emphasize
dimensions of autonomy, whose ultimate origins lie in theories of agency understood
as sovereignty. This paper argues that critical dimensions of the alter-globalization
movement involve practices of embodied action and forms of responsibility that point
beyond autonomy, to a paradigm of relational vulnerability Recognising this is central
to understanding ethics, agency, and subjectivity and to understanding movements as
a space of experience.
