- This research monograph brings together empirical material on Guantanamo detention facility and theoretical ideas about political and legal subjectivity. In particular, it draws on interviews conducted with legal military personnel, litigation lawyers, NGO workers and former Guantanamo detainees to challenge existing ways in which International Relations conceptualises political and legal subjectivity. Developing ideas of subjectivity embedded in continental political philosophy and psychoanalysis, this research monograph then goes on to propose different ways in which we can think and engage in practices of subject-making, challenge universalist ideals of human rights, and think about resistance in spaces of extreme control.
