I am applying for the dissertation fellowship to support my last year of writing. My dissertation generates a Christian theology of power by means of a comparison between Karl Barth and Michel Foucault. It reads these figures as sharing a common criticism of political theological discourse about "the powers": that those theorists often posit exteriorities, or sites of non-complicity, to the powers. Against such positions, I argue that the scope of complicity is total for the theological reasons offered by Barth and social theoretical reasons offered by Foucault. Next, I argue that exteriorities are often posited because of an animating assumption: that complicity and resistance are annihilating opposites. If that were true, then just insofar as one is complicit with the activity of the powers, one could not meaningfully resist them. By considering common objections to Barth and Foucault, I expose and refute this assumption. This continues in the final step of my argument, in which I show how Barth and Foucault understood ethical and political practices to be made possible by such complicity, thus expanding the range of sites of resistance to the powers. Since the problem with theorists of the powers is not their prescriptions for action but rather the privilege given to those recommendations by their meta-ethical self-understanding, a total complicity account preserves and extends the scope of thoughtful action. What I hope emerges is a both a theoretical position and a spiritual and communal practice of self-criticism and activism in light of one's own complicity.
