Alex Dubilet publishes “Political Theology Reimagined”
The contributors demonstrate that political theology is a powerful resource by which to both recognize and challenge the modalities of politics and social life that are practiced in our own time. The reimagination that the title points to is not so much a way to start political theology all over again but to focus on its subversive and radical potential." - James R. Martel, author of Anarchist Prophets
Assistant Professor Alex Dubilet has co-edited Political Theory Reimagined, recently published by Duke University Press. Political theology has emerged as an enormously energetic, creative way of exploring the complex relationships between religion, politics, and culture around the world. The volume centers decolonial, Black, queer, feminist, and Marxist modes of critical practice to offer a cutting-edge vision of the field that foregrounds a political theology animated by both a fascination with and a suspicion of the secular.
An interdisciplinary scholar by training and sensibility, Professor Dubilet thinks and writes across critical theory (broadly conceived), modern and contemporary continental philosophy, political theology, and the history and theory of mysticism. His work also engages the methods and materials of philosophy of religion, radical political theory, the critical study of Christianity and the secular, and theories of race and colonialism.
