On Drawing A Line. Politics and the Significatory Logics of Inclusion / Exclusion

Abstract
The article investigates into one of the most essential tropes of political thought: the figure of ›drawing a line‹. The many ways are described in which this figure appears and is modulated in the works of Mao, Carl Schmitt, Paul Goodman, the Red Army Faction as well as in popular culture. Yet ›drawing a line‹ is more than a rhetorical figure. What is argued in the article is that this figure invokes further reaching political questions as to the groundless nature of society, the necessity of decision, the impossibility of inclusion without exclusion, the problematic of the subject along with questions of identity construction in general.
