The London School of Economics and Political Science The London School of Economics and Political Science Toward a Negri-inspired theory of c/Constitution: A contemporary Canadian case study Jeffrey B. Meyers A thesis submitted to the Department of Law of the London School of Economics for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, London, September 30, 2011 1 of 242 Declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others (in which case the extent of any work carried out jointly by me and any other person is clearly identified in it). The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 99,997 words. 2 of 242 Acknowledgements Thanks to my supervisor, Igor Stramignoni, friend, mentor and taskmaster. For whatever works in this thesis he is owed much. Errors or omissions are mine and mine alone. Gratitude also to Antonio Negri's English language translators and editors who have made texts previously unavailable to non-Italian speakers increasingly open to research of the sort undertaken in this thesis. For everything, my family. 3 of 242 Abstract This thesis excavates Antonio Negri's theorization of the distinction between 'the material and formal constitution' (one which I distinguish throughout by way of capitalization as 'the material constitution' and 'the formal Constitution' or, in the shorthand contraction, 'c/Constitution'). In the first half of the thesis this is undertaken by way of a theoretical line of inquiry (Chapter I-III) and in the second as a series of concretized case studies drawn from contemporary Canadian constitutional historiography (Chapters IV-VI). The first chapter of this thesis (Chapter I) presents the October 1970 Front de libération de Québec (FLQ) Crisis as an event which contains within itself, not unlike similar events surrounding the kidnap and murder of Aldo Moro by the Brigate Rosse (BR) in 1978 Italy, the contours of a Negri-inspired entry into the subject matter. Chapter II offers a more situated analysis of some of Negri's key texts on the c/Constitution from the sixties, seventies, eighties and nineties to further ground the conceptual experiment underlying the thesis. Chapter III examines how Negri's thought is developed and brought up to date in his English language collaboration with Michael Hardt. Here, a significant detour will be taken through the critical literature responsive to Empire (2000). This is done first in a contemporary Canadian analysis of the form of sovereignty corresponding to 'Empire' (Chapter IV); second in a Canadian inquiry into the form of collective subjectivity understood by the concept of 'the multitude' (Chapter V); and, third in an Indigenous Canadian consideration of possible alternatives to the Constitution of the State in the 'constitution of the common' (Chapter VI). 4 of 242 Table of Contents PART I .......................................................................................................................... 9 Chapter I - Introduction ................................................................................................. 9 A.

  • New Modernism(S)
    New Modernism(s) BEN DUVALL 5 Intro: Surfaces and Signs 13 The Typography of Utopia/Dystopia 27 The Hyperlinked Sign 41 The Aesthetics of Refusal 5 Intro: Surfaces and Signs What can be said about graphic design, about the man- ner in which its artifact exists? We know that graphic design is a manipulation of certain elements in order to communicate, specifically typography and image, but in order to be brought together, these elements must exist on the same plane–the surface. If, as semi- oticians have said, typography and images are signs in and of themselves, then the surface is the locus for the application of sign systems. Based on this, we arrive at a simple equation: surface + sign = a work of graphic design. As students and practitioners of this kind of “surface curation,” the way these elements are functioning currently should be of great interest to us. Can we say that they are operating in fundamentally different ways from the way they did under modern- ism? Even differently than under postmodernism? Per- haps the way the surface and sign are treated is what distinguishes these cultural epochs from one another. We are confronted with what Roland Barthes de- fined as a Text, a site of interacting and open signs, 6 NEW MODERNISM(S) and therefore, a site of reader interpretation and of SIGNIFIER + SIGNIFIED = SIGN semiotic play.1 This is of utmost importance, the treat- ment of the signs within a Text is how we interpret, Physical form of an Ideas represented Unit of meaning idea, e.g.

Connections between Gilles Lipovetsky’s Hypermodern Times and Post-Soviet Russian Cinema James M. Brandon Associate Professor [email protected] Department of Theatre and Speech Hillsdale College Hillsdale, MI ABSTRACT In prominent French social philosopher Gilles Lipovetsky’s Hypermodern Times (2005), the author asserts that the world has entered the period of hypermodernity, a time where the primary concepts of modernity are taken to their extreme conclusions. The conditions Lipovetsky described were already manifesting in a number of post-Soviet Russian films. In the tradition of Slavoj Zizek’s Enjoy Your Symptom (1992), this essay utilizes a number of post-Soviet Russian films to explicate Lipovetsky’s philosophy, while also using Lipovetsky’s ideas to explicate the films.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 yscit5 7'0S23 Abstract Secession has been noticeably absent from International Relations theory although its role in the creation and recognition of states is clearly relevant. Traditionally, the dominant perspectives in IR have not questioned state formation and this has effectively barred secession as a topic since it cannot be thoroughly treated without looking across the inside/outside divide of state sovereignty. Secession must be placed in its historical context — as a phenomenon only possible in the modem era and only perceived as a global threat in this century. Theorists from other disciphnes who have discussed secession have rehed on a problem­ solving theoretical perspective which has kept them from considering secession as an outcome of problematic assumptions about identity and territory in the international system.

Glasgow Theses Service http://theses.gla.ac.uk/ [email protected] Neoliberal Urbanism and Spatial Composition in Recessionary Glasgow Neil Gray MRes Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Geographical and Earth Sciences College of Science and Engineering University of Glasgow November 2015 i Abstract This thesis argues that urbanisation has become increasingly central to capital accumulation strategies, and that a politics of space - commensurate with a material conjuncture increasingly subsumed by rentier capitalism - is thus necessarily required. The central research question concerns whether urbanisation represents a general tendency that might provide an immanent dialectical basis for a new spatial politics. I deploy the concept of class composition to address this question. In Italian Autonomist Marxism (AM), class composition is understood as the conceptual and material relation between ‘technical’ and ‘political’ composition: ‘technical composition’ refers to organised capitalist production, capital’s plans as it were; ‘political composition’ refers to the degree to which collective political organisation forms a basis for counter-power.

  • Hypermodernism
    9 Hypermodernism If postmodernism’s objective was to announce the end of modernity, then, according to Gilles Lipovetsky. it is now redundant. Modernity, for Lipovetsky, did not come to an end. Rather, it is undergoing its consummation, and the name Lipovetsky suggests for this new phase of the modern is ’hypermodernity’. Postmodernism was characterized by an essentially liberal impulse - a concerted effort towards deregulation in the aesthetic, philosophical, ethical, and political spheres. But, invigorating though these developments may have been, they have been outstripped by the accompanying trend towards the liberalization and deregulation of the market. The unfettered logic of market forces has put paid to postmodernism’s enthusiastic ambitions, and has even crept into the institutions of state, church, and family that withstood many of the onslaughts of postmodernism. The result, says Lipovetsky, is an endemic and unbridled consumerism, giving rise to a cult of excess - hence his choice of the prefix ‘hyper-’ to designate a culture that is ever demanding more and more. This view is in broad agreement with the position of Jeffrey T. Nealon in Part One, who regards post-postmodernism as deriving from an economic intensification o f the power of the market and o f consumerism. This consumerism does not always manifest itself simply as a naked consumerism, but rather as an extreme form of individualism. The hypermodern individual lives a life characterized by flexibility, adaptability, and a demand for continuous improvement, both in the workplace and throughout his or her general life. But Lipovetsky is quick to point out a paradox here: the drive towards flexibility and improvement is something that is demanded of the hypermodern individual, as well as something that the hypermodern individual demands as a consumer.

  • Hypermodernism As Deceleration, Re-Stabilisation and Reconciliation
    Marcin TrepczyńskiArtykuły naukowe Artykuły naukowe Edukacja Filozoficzna 66/2018 ISSN 0860-3839 DOI: 10.14394/edufil.2018.0021 ORCID: 0000-0003-0612-2597 Hypermodernism as Deceleration, Re-stabilisation and Reconciliation Marcin Trepczyński (University of Warsaw, Institute of Philosophy) Introduction1 In view of the claims of some thinkers that we can speak about “the end of the postmodern”2 or that postmodernity “is over”,3 it is reasonable to ask about the dominant indicators of today’s times and to ask whether it is accurate to describe them using concepts and labels developed to define the last decades of the 20th century. Such reflection is an element of a broader consideration of the human situation. It is important from the point of view of such questions as: how do we live and think, where do we go, who are we. From this perspective, reflection on the situation of individuals and societies has great philosophical significance. In this article I will try to address the main diagnoses and concepts concern- ing our times provided by thinkers referring to notions such as “postmodernism”, “the postmodern”, “after modernity” or “liquid modernity”. I will show that, at least today, they are insufficient and inadequate. I will also try to point to present attitudes which should be taken into account in any description of our times and to offer a proper name for them. Finally, I will briefly sketch how it is combined with the philosophical questions mentioned above. 1 The key concepts of this article were presented in my talk at the conference Around Hypermod- ernism, held at the Faculty “Artes Liberales” of the University of Warsaw on June 14, 2018.

  • From Modernism to Hypermodernism and Beyond an Interview with Paul Virilio
    From Modernism to Hypermodernism and Beyond An Interview with Paul Virilio John Armitage Postmodernism and Hypermodernism JA: Professor Virilio, I would like to begin by charting your place within the contemporary intellectual landscape.1 For instance, your work is closely associated with the cultural movement known as postmodernism. Certainly, your most recently translated study Open Sky (1997 [1995]) is being received as such in the English-speaking world.2 However, you have always been sceptical of the idea of postmodernism. Could you explain the basis of your critique of this concept? PV: Postmodernism is a notion that makes sense in architecture, through the work of [Robert] Venturi (Venturi et al., 1977) and so on. Since I am teaching architecture, to me, postmodernism is a `suitcase' word, a syncret- ism. In architecture it is a clear-cut phenomenon: styles are mixed up, history is ignored, one goes for a `melting pot' of approaches. But as far as thought is concerned, thought as developed in the years 1970±80, I simply cannot understand why people are talking about postmodernism. Post- structuralism? Yes, OK. Postmodernism? It doesn't make any sense to me. Hence, I do not feel linked at all with postmodernity. Moreover, as a teacher in a college of architecture, I believe postmodernism was a catastrophe in the history of modern architecture. Therefore there is no linkage between me and postmodernism. I know that many people tend to associate post- modernism with relativism, especially with cognitive relativism. Well, this is a new polemic that is cropping up, especially here in France, and which does not concern, let alone interest me in the slightest measure.
