This article addresses the modern concept of sovereignty as a multivocal and conflictual semantic field, arguing for the necessity to trace its genealogy based on the structural tensions that haunt its logical framework – as well as its representations – rather than on a linear historiographic reconstruction. In particular, the scrutiny I propose aims to examine a series of exchanges that have been characterizing this concept since the beginning: the global and the European, the maritime and the territorial, the colony and the state, the imperial and the proprietary. The problematic balance between ‘imperium’ and ‘dominium’ is indeed assumed here as the turning point of the rise of a sovereign power that appears to be originally rooted in the very production and governance of the global space, thus giving up all possible Eurocentric narratives of modernity. To illustrate my argument, I focus on the frontispieces to three of Thomas Hobbes’s most important books, that is, his translation of Thucydides’ Peloponnesian Wars, De Cive and Leviathan. A thorough analysis of these images enables us to understand how these lines of force traverse the very heart of modern European political concepts, along with the mirroring effects that constantly bounce their normative construction of subjectivity back and forth from the periphery to the centre and, ultimately, from the market to the state.

This essay argues that Ralph Waldo Emerson's interest in the cutting-edge science of his generation helps to shape his understanding of persons as fluid expressions of power rather than solid bodies. In his 1872 "Natural History of Intellect," Emerson correlates the constitution of the individual mind with the tenets of Michael Faraday's classical field theory. For Faraday, experimenting with electromagnetism reveals that the atom is a node or point on a network, and that all matter is really the arrangement of energetic lines of force. This atomic model offers Emerson a technology for envisioning a materialized subjectivity that both unravels personal identity and grants access to impersonal power. On the one hand, adopting Faraday's field theory resonates with many of the affirmative philosophical and ethical claims central to Emerson's early essays. On the other hand, however, distributing the properties of Faraday's atoms onto the properties of the person also entails moments in which materialized subjects encounter their own partiality, limitation, and suffering. I suggest that Emerson represents these aspects of experience in terms that are deliberately discrepant from his conception of universal power. He presumes that if every experience boils down to the same lines of force, then the particular can be trivialized with respect to the general. As a consequence, Emerson must insulate his philosophical assertions from contamination by our most poignant experiences of limitation. The essay concludes by distinguishing Emersonian "Necessity" from Friedrich Nietzsche's similar conception of amor fati, which routes the affirmation of fate directly through suffering.

The phenomena accompanying the disruptive discharge of electricity are, in the present state of electric science, among the most interesting known, because they are the least understood, and, so far as we know, the least concordant with our preconceived ideas. The simplest way of representing the facts is to imagine with Faraday that the non-conducting medium, or dielectric, between two charged conductors is the seat of mechanical stress, consisting of tension along, and pressure perpendicular to, the lines of force. The rupture of the dielectric may then be conceived as a phenomenon precisely analogous to the rupture of an elastic body under stress. We are thus led to the conclusion that the commencement of the rupture happens at that particular point where the tension first reaches a certain value, called the breaking tension or dielectric strength, which depends merely on the material of the dielectric, and on its physical condition at the time being. The main thing in any experiment on dielectric strength is to know the tension at the point where the rupture begins.

Faraday's discovery of the magnetic rotatory polarisation of light may be expressed in the following manner:—Let two electromagnets, in the form of iron tubes, surrounded by helices of wire, be placed end to end, so that in the space between them the lines of force are very intense. Let a rod of dense glass be placed in this space, so that a ray of light may pass through the two tubes and the rod of glass. Let such a ray on entrance be plane-polarised, so that the direction of vibration is in a vertical direction. If the electro-magnet be now magnetised, the emergent ray will be polarised, so that its vibrations are inclined to the vertical at a small angle. The direction in which the line of vibration has been rotated is the same as the direction of the positive current in the helices.
