  1. Thinking the Commons through Ostrom and Butler: Boundedness and Vulnerability.Irina Velicu & Gustavo García-López - 2018 - Theory, Culture and Society 35 (6):55-73.
    In this paper we propose an ‘undisciplinary’ meeting between Elinor Ostrom and Judith Butler, with the intent to broaden the theory of the commons by discussing it as a relational politics. We use Butler’s theory of power to problematize existing visions of commons, shifting from Ostrom’s ‘bounded rationality’ to Butler’s concepts of ‘bounded selves’ and mutual vulnerability. To be bounded – as opposed to autonomous being – implies being an (ambiguous) effect of socio-power relations and norms that are often beyond (...)

  • Gendered Violence and International Human Rights: Thinking Non-discrimination Beyond the Sex Binary.Kathryn McNeilly - 2014 - Feminist Legal Studies 22 (3):263-283.
    The concept of non-discrimination has been central in the feminist challenge to gendered violence within international human rights law. This article critically explores non-discrimination and the challenge it seeks to pose to gendered violence through the work of Judith Butler. Drawing upon Butler’s critique of heteronormative sex/gender, the article utilises an understanding of gendered violence as effected by the restrictive scripts of sex/gender within heteronormativity to illustrate how the development of non-discrimination within international human rights law renders it ineffective to (...)

  • The inter-est between us: Ontology, epistemology, and the failure of political representation.Aylon Cohen - 2023 - Contemporary Political Theory 22 (1):46-69.
    In recent decades, theories of representation have undergone a constructivist turn, as many theorists no longer view the represented subject as prior to but rather as an effect of representation. Whereas some critics have claimed that lacking an ontologically pre-given subject undermines the theory of representation, many democratic theorists have sought to reconceptualize representation and its democratic possibilities by turning away from ontological questions altogether. By focusing instead on how representatives come to know the public interest, many scholars now contend (...)

  • Under Western Eyes: On Farris's In the Name of Women's Rights.Baraneh Emadian - 2019 - Critique: Journal of Socialist Theory 47 (1):143-158.
    This essay reflects upon the category of femonationalism as theorised in Sara Farris's book, In the Name of Women's Rights: The Rise of Femonationalism, with a focus on her critique of theories of populism. Farris's approach, it is argued, productively pinpoints the exceptional position of Muslim and non-western migrant women in the reproduction of the material conditions of social reproduction in western Europe. However, the force of Farris's Marxist theorisation of femonationalism is partly undermined by the absence of any reference (...)

  • Inność i obcość. Filozoficzna analiza figury uchodźcy.Michał Bomastyk - 2019 - Etyka 59 (1):115-133.
    Celem artykułu jest filozoficzna analiza figury uchodźcy przebywającego na terytorium Europy Zachodniej a także opisanie mechanizmów, które stabilizują i podtrzymują wykluczenie przybyszów. Na pierwszy plan wysuwają się w tekście dwie kategorie: inność i obcość oraz napięcie między nimi. Inność jest ukazana jako ontologiczna kategoria niezbędna dla konstrukcji podmiotu. W przypadku natomiast figury uchodźcy, analizowanej w niniejszym tekście, status innego może ulec dekonstytucji i wówczas cudzoziemiec, usytuowany poza społeczeństwem, staje się obcy i traci możliwość swobodnego projektowania siebie. Co istotne, należy także (...)

  • The hegemony of hegemony.Valentine Jeremy - 2001 - History of the Human Sciences 14 (1):88-104.
    A distinctive characteristic of Laclau and Mouffe’s theory of hegemony is its insistence on the denial of an essence or ground of the subject. This element of their theory is derived from their notion of antagonism, in which a relation with a ground is brought into question by revealing its contingency. This article argues that the political dimension of this argument makes sense only in the context of Laclau and Mouffe’s notion of modernity. However, the universalizing of modernity as the (...)

  • Subject of Conscience: On the Relation between Freedom and Discrimination in the Thought of Heidegger, Foucault, and Butler.Aret Karademir - unknown
    Martin Heidegger was not only one of the greatest philosophers of the twentieth century but also a supporter of and a contributor to one of the most discriminatory ideologies of the recent past. Thus, "the Heidegger's case" gives us philosophers an opportunity to work on discrimination from a philosophical perspective. My aim in this essay is to question the relationship between freedom and discrimination via Heidegger's philosophy. I will show that what bridges the gap between Heidegger's philosophy and a discriminatory (...)

  • Thinking political sociology: beyond the limits of post-Marxism.Kate Nash - 2002 - History of the Human Sciences 15 (4):97-114.
    This article is concerned with post-Marxism and materialism in the work of Judith Butler, Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe. As `post-Marxists' these writers use `material' in a variety of ways, all of which indicate limits and constraints. The article focuses on one version of `materialism' in this work, a version that is more implied than elaborated, in which `material' is equivalent to institutionalized performativity or sedimented discourse: to `objective' social structures and institutions. Post-Marxists often use `the social' as equivalent to (...)
