Introduction: Commitment and Complicity / B.O.Firat, S.De Mul & S.van Wichelen -- PART I: RETHINKING COMMITMENT -- Commitment as a Non-Performative / S.Ahmed -- Commitment or Commitment-Kitsch?Rethinking the 'Woman Question', Agency, and Feminist Politics / S.van Wichelen -- b1 sHuman b2 s in the Age of Disposable People: the Ambiguous Import of Kinship and Education in Blind Shaft / R.Chow -- PART II: COMMITMENT AND COMPLICITY IN THE PRODUCTION OF KNOWLEDGE -- The Middle East and the Disciplinary (Re)Production of Knowledge / A.Teti -- Empty Versatility and the Art of the Circular Reading / T.Brennan -- The Commitment to Face/ M.Bal -- PART III: PUTTING COMPLICITY TO WORK -- The Necessity of 'Terror' / E.Boehmer -- Putting Complicity to Work for Accountability: AnAustralian Case Study / F.Probyn -- Layers of Labour in Cultural Production: Notes On Aesthetics and Commitment fromthe Transparent Factory / O.Comeron -- The Politics of Contemporary "Islamic" Art' / B.O.Firat -- Bibliography -- Index.

While 'freedom', 'equality' and 'humanity' are often considered central concepts to committedscholarship, these same concepts are also being deployed globally in legitimizing contemporary wars. Now, more than ever, there is an urgent need to reformulate the notion of commitment as inherentlyintertwined with various forms of complicity. The essays collected in this volume look at ways in which commitment can be 'saved'as a critical practice and also uncover instances in which commitment fails to operate properly, becoming an ethical rhetoric that serves thereconfirmation of the status quo. How can we distinguish different forms and norms of commitment? What to do when commitment becomes a desirable fetish or a good in itself, when commitment becomes, so to speak, 'commitment kitsch'? Including contributions from acclaimed young scholars and internationally recognized theorists such as Sara Ahmed, Mieke Bal, Timothy Brennan, Elleke Boehmer and Rey Chow, this volume aims to open up a new realm where such pertinent questions can be discussed.
