Sovereignty and Law: Between Ethics and Politics is a Conex Marie Skłodowska-Curie Research Project located at the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Spain that undertakes a philosophical inquiry into the meaning of and relationship between the ethical and political spheres of social existence through an analysis of a number of related concepts including sovereignty, law, violence, evil, and foundations. Through a historically-orientated and textually-based methodology, the aim is to show that different conceptions of the ethical-political relationship are possible with each being grounded in a particular semiotic construction that, far from being universal and ahistoric, is culturally specific, created from different power relations, and built to give meaning to reality. By demonstrating the complex interplay between ethics, politics, culture, and semiotics, the project identifies the crucial role that cultural and semiotic structures play in the creation of ethical-political values and frameworks and, in so doing, contributes to our understanding of the ways in which cultures not only create their own defining narratives, but, through these, interact with and understand one another.
