  1. Democracy on the lam: Crisis, constitutionalism and extra-legality.Jennet Kirkpatrick - 2012 - Contemporary Political Theory 11 (3):264-284.
    Sheldon S. Wolin's theory of fugitive democracy has been both lauded and criticized for its radical departure from the mainstays of democratic theory: formal institutions, political offices and constitutional arrangements of power. For Wolin, democracy is correctly understood as an ephemeral event that appears unexpectedly when ordinary citizens, united by a shared grievance, collectively interrupt normal political proceedings and reject constitutionalism. This article critically analyzes Wolin's theory in light of a historical phenomenon in which citizens collectively interrupted politics: frontier vigilantism (...)

  • The hermeneutics of religious understanding in a postsecular age.David Lewin - 2017 - Ethics and Education 12 (1):73-83.
    The argument of this article assumes that religious literacy is urgently needed in the present geopolitical context. Its urgency increases the more religion is viewed in opposition to criticality, as though religion entails an irrational and inviolable commitment, or leap of faith.

  • Gender, race, religion, faith? Rethinking intersectionality in German feminisms.Beverly M. Weber - 2015 - European Journal of Women's Studies 22 (1):22-36.
    Despite the recent wave of scholarship on intersectionality, as well as a surge in feminist scholarship on Islam in German feminist studies, feminist research has yet to adequately engage with the role of religion in intersectionality. In this article the author draws on the work of the Aktionsbündnis muslimischer Frauen in Germany to explore the possibility for incorporating religion and faith into intersectional frameworks, which requires attention to women of color theorizing in German feminisms, recognition of ways in which religions (...)
