Is the global digital revolution currently underway enriching or conversely, impoverishing democracy? This course explores how the internet and new media/communication technologies transform and constrain, as well as enable and disable democratic theories and practices. Attention will be paid to developing rigorous and critical interpretations and analyses of various democratic theories. The course is divided into 3 parts: the first examines critical approaches and methods in political theory; the second investigates selected theories of democracy, especially ‘deliberative’, ‘agonistic’/‘radical’, ‘cyber’, ‘queer,’ ‘decolonial’; the third explores some critical debates in democratic theory and politics.

  • Dean-Communist-Horizon.Pdf
    Draft— do not cite without permission | 1 The Communist Horizon Jodi Dean The Second Former-West Research Congress invites us to think with the idea of horizon. In keeping with its provocative temporalization of the West—rather than present the West, too, passes in 1989—the invitation construes our horizon as a temporal one, a future toward which we once aspired. This lost horizon, then, connotes privation, depletion, the loss of projects, goals, and utopias that oriented us toward the future. In the wake of this loss, we are asked to consider whether another world is possible, another horizon imaginable. I initially understood the term “horizon” in a more mundane, spatial fashion, as the line dividing the visible, separating earth from sky. I like to pretend that I had in mind the cool, astro- physics notion of an event horizon. The event horizon surrounds a black hole, a singularity—it’s the boundary beyond which events cannot escape. While the event horizon denotes the curvature in space/time effected by a singularity, it’s not that much different from the spatial horizon: both evoke a line demarcating a fundamental division, that we experience as impossible to reach, and thus that we can neither escape nor cross (although an external observer could see us cross it). “Horizon,” then, tags not a lost future but a dimension of experience we can never lose, even if, lost in a fog or focused on our feet, we fail to see it. The horizon is Real not just in the sense of impossible—we can never reach it—but also in the sense of the actual format, condition, and shape of our setting (and I take both these senses of Real to Lacanian).

  • Reply to Stephens
    IJŽS Volume 1.1 Reviews & Debates Reply to Stephens Jodi Dean - Department of Politics, Hobart and William Smith Colleges, New York State, USA Scott Stephens puts my book Žižek’s Politics in the series of products distinctive of global capitalism—Diet Coke, decaffeinated coffee, and virtual sex. There’s something appealing in this idea. Žižek Lite might have been a good title insofar as the book in no way tries to make Žižek more complex. Instead, it distills the political ideas he has developed in over twenty books through his rigorous engagements with Lacan, Hegel, and numerous other thinkers, demonstrating the insight these ideas provide into the current political impasse in which the American left finds itself. As a political theorist working in the US, I am deeply frustrated with political theories that approach contemporary politics in terms of ethics or micropolitics (not to mention democratic theories that focus on deliberation). Highlighting freedom, multiplicity, and inclusivity, these theories tend to reject claims to truth or the need for decision, as if a politics where everything is possible and valuable is any politics at all. Žižek provides a clear alternative to these approaches. My specific goal in addressing the book to political theorists in the US is to demonstrate the political importance of Žižek’s theorization of enjoyment. To this end, I show how enjoyment helps explain why a society championing speed, fluidity, and activity is in fact characterized by stasis, fixity, and passivity. Not surprisingly, this discussion draws out the superego injunction to enjoy characteristic of contemporary capitalism. The book further details the working of the notion of enjoyment in Žižek’s discussions of nationalism, fascism, Stalinism, democracy, law, and the possibility of the act.

  • Rethinking Neoliberalism
    Rethinking Neoliberalism This book is a collection of essays about neoliberalism as the governing ethic of our time. The focus is on neoliberalism’s disciplinary regime that seeks to regiment subordinate populations into a market-centered society. Neoliberalism has been ascendant for some time as the default logic that prioritizes using market logic for all major decisions, in all spheres of society, at the collective level of state policymaking as well as the personal level of individual choice-making. Neoliberalism promotes a market-centered society and disciplines people to be compliant in adhering to its strictures, incentivizing market consistent behavior and punishing people when they fail to comply. The chapters in this volume were in most cases completed before Donald Trump was elected president but are likely to endure in relevance beyond his presidency. Neoliberalism remains hegemonic irrespective of what happens to Trump’s corporate capitalist approach to governing. The essays use theory to interrogate neoliberalism critically and therefore can provide resources for political resistance in an age of neoliberalism. Some of the best-known and most respected authors in the field of neoliberalism studies bring to be bear a sophisticated synthesis of theoretical and empirical accounts of the rolling out of neoliberalism as a policy regime and use theory to interrogate neoliberalism as an ideology and as a practice. In developing this argument, the editors explore: Theoretical debates vital for understanding modern social policy Relationship between neoliberalism, the state and civil society Neoliberalism and social policy to discipline citizens Urban policy and how neoliberalism reshapes urban governance What it will take politically to get beyond neoliberalism? Written in a clear and accessible style, Rethinking Neoliberalism offers a much-needed fresh perspective on neoliberalism as an ideology and as a practice.

  • COVID Revolution
    COVID Revolution Jodi Dean Abstract: Revolution only occurs when people are willing to die for it. The last few days of May 2020 showed that thousands of people were willing to risk their lives in the struggle against the racist capitalist system. Rage at four hundred years of oppression, exploitation, and denigration, at the systemic murder of black, brown, and indigenous people, and at wanton, visible, and permissible police violence could no longer be contained. Between the virus and the economy, there was nothing left to lose. Keywords: capitalism, coronavirus, covid, democracy, racism, revolution During the first two months of the US shutdown to prevent the over- loading of its weakened and ill-prepared hospital system by coronavirus patients, activists struggled to adapt to the new conditions of organizing. Zoom sessions, webinars, and livestreams mushroomed on the Internet. Car caravans and carefully orchestrated, physically distanced actions at- tempted to substitute for the missing crowds. The solution to the problem came from the streets the last week of May. Outrage over the ceaseless murder of black people led tens of thousands of people across the coun- try to pour into the streets demanding justice for George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmed Aubrey and an end to police violence. These uprisings were not the first public demonstrations of the COVID- 19 era. Right-wing protesters had already staged multiple gatherings contest- ing stay-at-home orders. Television news featured middle-aged white people complaining about needing to get haircuts and violations of their rights. On April 17 President Donald Trump egged on protesters in states with Demo- cratic governors, tweeting “Liberate Michigan,” “Liberate Minnesota,” and “Liberate Virginia.” Small crowds of masked and unmasked protesters de- manded that businesses be re-opened.

Publication Date 2015 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California Non-participation in digital media: toward a framework of mediated political action Published in Media, Culture & Society (2015) ​ ​ Nathalie Casemajor Université du Québec en Outaouais, Canada Stéphane Couture McGill University, Canada Mauricio Delfin McGill University, Canada Matthew Goerzen McGill University, Canada Alessandro Delfanti University of California, Davis, USA Abstract This article explores the notion of digital non-participation as a form of mediated political action rather than as mere passivity. We generally conceive of participation in a positive sense, as a means for empowerment and a condition for democracy. However, participation is not the only way to achieve political goals in the digital sphere and can be hampered by the ‘dark sides’ of participatory media, such as surveillance or disempowering forms of interaction. In fact, practices aimed at abandoning or blocking participatory platforms can be seen as politically significant and relevant. We propose here to conceptualize these activities by developing a framework that includes both participation and non-participation. Focusing on the political dimensions of digital practices, we draw four categories: active participation, passive participation, active non-participation, and passive non-participation. This is not intended as a conclusive classification, but rather as a conceptual tool to understand the relational nature of participation and non-participation through digital media.

  • Jodi Dean Response: the Question of Organization
    South Atlantic Quarterly Jodi Dean Response: The Question of Organization Since the Birkbeck conference reignited com- munism as a philosophical idea and 2011’s dem- onstrations, movements, and revolts converged in global egalitarian struggle, the question of politi- cal organization has posed itself to the Left again. The essays collected in this issue of South Atlan- tic Quarterly approach the question via three interlocking problematics: history, the subject, and the party. These problematics have long been tied in one way or another to the Marxist project. In the simplest version, what Lars Lih (2008) calls the “merger narrative” of German Social Democracy, history provides a class with its revolutionary task. The specific mission of the working class is the abolition of capitalism and construction of com- munism. The party, as bearer of the news of this task, galvanizes and leads the working class in political struggle. In contrast, contemporary leftist preoccupations with speculative realisms, object- oriented ontologies, and self-organizing swarms, imply that the problematics of history, subject, and party so crucial to Marxist theory are obsolete. Like so many capitalist commodities, they need to be thrown out and replaced by the shiny and new. Whether they are eclipsed by temporalities The South Atlantic Quarterly 113:4, Fall 2014 doi 10.1215/00382876-2803679 © 2014 Duke University Press Published by Duke University Press South Atlantic Quarterly 822 The South Atlantic Quarterly • Fall 2014 geologic, synaptic, or futural; theories enamored with objects, animals, and the nonhuman; or assemblages fluid, spontaneous, and always already to-be- subverted, the problematics of history, subject, and party clash with assump- tions of thought and action shared by many on the left.

  • MASTER(18.2) Final
    the author(s) 2018 ISSN 1473-2866 (Online) ISSN 2052-1499 (Print) www.ephemerajournal.org volume 18(2): 383-395 Time to party? Emil Husted review of Dean, Jodi (2016): Crowds and party. London: Verso. (HB, pp 288, £13.59, ISBN 978-1-78168-694-2) Since the decline of classical Marxist theory and the concomitant proliferation of ‘new social movements’ from 1968 and onwards, two opposing lines of thought have dominated leftist thinking: One that could be called ‘horizontalist’ and one that could be called ‘verticalist’ (Prentoulis and Thomassen, 2013). While both lines of thought identify with the label of post-Marxism – sometimes even without apologies – their approaches to radical politics differ profoundly. Crudely put, the difference revolves around the question of organization, and whether or not radical politics requires any centralized form of coordination. In the horizontalist camp, authors like Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri (2000) and Paolo Virno (2004) argue that the networked and globalized character of contemporary sovereignty demands a networked kind of resistance, that is, a resistance that lacks any center or single point of unity. As they say: ‘It takes a network to fight a network’ (Hardt and Negri, 2004: 58). This means replacing the essentialist notion of the working class with a more plural and polycentric subject called the Multitude. Through the notion of the Multitude, the horizontalists advocate a less organized version of radical politics that shuns unity and affords autonomy.
