The title refers to Nietzsche's call to dissolve the figure of the enemy, which, according to a Derridian reading, implies “a revolution of the political”. Today, dissolving the figure of the contemporary archenemy -terrorism- implies regaining a space for politics somewhere beyond the narrow dichotomies that the current obsession with security has driven us to.

It poses the question: How is it possible to escape from the logic of permanent global war?
