  • ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: WORK UNDER DEMOCRACY
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: WORK UNDER DEMOCRACY: LABOR, GENDER AND ARENDTIAN CITIZENSHIP Alison Kathryn Staudinger, Doctor of Philosophy, 2013 Dissertation Directed by: Stephen Elkin, Professor Emeritus Government & Politics In the interest of promoting a co-constitutive theory of democratic citizenship, this dissertation explores three questions. I ask how work is defined and how this definition creates a hierarchy of types of work, which then leads to my second question, which is how definitions of work or what is not work are carried over into the public space of poli- tics and citizenship, such that even legal citizens may be marginalized by the type of work that they do. I first critique democratic theory, particularly as centered on the idea of the public sphere, for failing to think about work, especially the labor that is required to build these political spaces. I then show how the contemporary economy challenges the ability of citizens to engage in political work because it produces conditions of pre- carious labor, ubiquitous work, the depoliticization of work itself, and incompatibility of wage labor and family life. I use two historical case studies to explore how groups have claimed collective rights housed in the substantive needs of communities when asserting the validity of their work for citizenship. I look to the Articles of Confederation and Dan- iel Shays for an example focused on waged labor, and then the temperance and Anti- temperance movements for a consideration of gendered reproductive labor. I then address my third question, which is whether it is possible to promote the political work of co- constituting a shared public world without also denigrating the labor, particularly care labor, that is supportive of this project.

  • An Interview with Bonnie Honig
    DOI: 10.5840/philtoday201510990 Online First: Ordinary Emergences in Democratic Theory: An Interview with Bonnie Honig DIEGO ROSSELLO Abstract: In contrast to framings of the political that emphasize heroic action or emergency’s exceptionalism, Bonnie Honig’s agonistic democracy is linked to ordi- nary emergences and the sororal bond. In this interview, Honig explores the political potential of the ordinary in Franz Rosenzweig’s theology of the everyday, as well as in the work of feminist theorists and writers such as Hanna Pitkin and Adrienne Rich. Commenting on her reading of the relation between Antigone and Ismene in the famous tragedy by Sophocles, Honig also addresses the sororal bond in times of exception. Finally, she extends her argument on the everyday to a discussion of public things and anticipates ideas of her ongoing project on Arendt’s essay “The Jew as Pariah.” Key words: democracy, emergence, ordinary, things, Arendt, Antigone political scientist working at the intersection of political theory and the critical humanities, Bonnie Honig is Nancy Duke Lewis Profes- A sor of Modern Culture and Media, and Political Science, at Brown University. She was previously assistant and associate professor at the Depart- ment of Government, Harvard University, and Sarah Rebecca Roland Professor at Northwestern University. She is also Affiliate Research Professor at the American Bar Foundation. Professor Honig’s work has been influential in the fields of demo- cratic theory, legal studies, feminist theory, immigration studies, and literary and cultural theory, among others. She has published in prestigious journals across the social sciences and the humanities such as American Political Science Review, Political Theory, Arethusa, New Literary History, Social Text, and diacritics, among many others.

Dienstag, Chair Within liberal political theory there is a general sense that death’s meaning should be kept strictly private, ‘quarantined’ from political life; yet whether we are comfortable with the idea or not, attitudes about death powerfully shape how individuals engage in political relationships and practices. Mortal Democracy thus provides a way of acknowledging death directly as a part of contemporary political life, one amenable to democratic practices. I develop three distinct political accounts of death and its political meaning from Friedrich Nietzsche, Max Weber, and Hannah Arendt; each read alongside an interlocutor from ancient Greek thought. The first chapter “The Wisdom of Silenus: Friedrich Nietzsche and The Politics of Death” develops a Nietzschean adaptation of Homeric “beautiful death,” where persons are capable of transforming the contingent, painful experiences of death into moments of enacted personal or shared value. The second chapter, “A Vocation Unto Death: Max Weber, Modernity & Soldierly Politics” examines Weber’s turn towards an absolutist soldierly model of meaningful death as a part of ii modern political life.

  • Political Representation and Its Descriptive Conception
    Political representation and its descriptive conception A thesis on the complexity of political representation as a pluralistic concept with a special focus on its descriptive conception Author: T.G. Ooms Programme: Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) Topic: Bachelor’s Thesis Supervisors: Stefanie Beyens, Jonathan Benson Date: 16 August 2021 Institution: Utrecht University Student Number: 6470041 Abstract Parliamentarians in Western liberal democracies barely resemble the people they represent through their characteristics. Political consequences such as distrust, a loss in legitimacy, exclusion of political minorities and over-representation of political elites pose problems to the existing political structure. By answering the research question ‘can a descriptive conception of representation be theoretically and practically unified with a substantive conception of representation within a democratic party system?’, this thesis tries to provide a solution to the abovementioned problems. The thesis provides arguments for the intrinsic and instrumental importance of descriptive representation for political representation, a conception that is argued to be pluralistic in nature. After applying this new, pluralistic conception to a democratic party model that features cartel parties, five suggestions for improved representation arise: to connect representatives more to civil society, to disconnect them more from the state, to use quotes, better recruitment efforts or lotteries to ensure that electoral candidates represent the populace descriptively. Thus, the thesis provides a comprehensive, interdisciplinary, theoretical and practical analysis of what it means to represent in contemporary democracies. Introduction A core principle that defines democratic government is the principle of representation. Party members that reside in parliament ought to represent the people, having been explicitly mandated to do so through the vote.

For more information, please contact [email protected],[email protected]. HONOUR'S ROLE IN THE INTERNATIONAL STATES' SYSTEM* ALLEN Z. HERTZ* INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY Studying the First World War's origins, James Joll (1918-1994), Professor of International History at the University of London, offered this insight: "In the late 20th century we perhaps find it easier to conceive of foreign policy as being motivated by domestic preoccupations and by economic interests than by... considerations of prestige and glory. It does not necessarily follow that the men of 1914 thought in the same way as we do."' To recapture that age which ended during the First World War, this essay analyzes the meaning of "honour" as a staple of European political philosophy. The significance of the "word of honour" is then located in the context of European courtly society, where a king's honour is explored in relation to that of his country and in the "international of kings" that was the European States' system until 1917-18.

  • Department of Political Science Comparative Politics Preliminary Examination Reading List
    Department of Political Science Comparative Politics Preliminary Examination Reading List 2003-5/6 (Note changes in the exam format/rules as well as in the reading list.) The preliminary examination in comparative politics is based on a shared reading list. Faculty members from the sub-field have cooperated to create this list, which will remain without significant change until at least 2006. A few works pertain to more than one topic area and thus appear on the reading list in more than one place. It is helpful to think of the reading list both as identifying the most important topic areas in comparative politics and as providing a very basic “toolbox,” or repertoire, of important intellectual strategies for explaining patterns of behavior, attitudes, events, or institutions. These include both theoretical and empirical approaches. This list builds on syllabi in PS 641 and other departmental courses in the sub-field, although you may not have encountered everything in a class. It is wise to review the reading handouts from PS 641 and class notes from courses prior to taking the exam. It is also wise to defer the exam until you have taken an adequate sampling of the courses in the sub-field. We give few honors grades, but almost all students who have won honors over the past five years have taken 6-7 comparative politics courses. Very few students who pass the exam have taken fewer than 5 comparative courses. The Exam The exam includes both a written and an oral component. The written component, which takes the form of a 24-hour take-home test, counts for 65% of the grade.

    REPRESENTAÇÃO: PALAVRAS, INSTITUIÇÕES E IDÉIAS* Hanna Fenichel Pitkin As palavras e o mundo mudam juntos, mas não em sim- ples correlação direta. Quando imaginamos a introdução de uma palavra nova, tendemos a pensar em exemplos tais como o explorador dando nome a um local recém- descoberto, ou o químico preparando uma substância recém-descoberta ou recém-criada. Mas esses exemplos são profundamente enganosos, pois a maioria das palavras não são nomes; e os seres humanos podem, com a mesma facilidade, discursar sobre o que existe e o que não existe. No campo dos fenômenos sociais, culturais e políticos, a relação entre as palavras e o mundo é ainda mais com- plexa, pois esses fenômenos são constituídos pela conduta humana, que é profundamente formada pelo que as pesso- as pensam e dizem, por palavras.

  • Political Representation As a Democratic Process1
    POLITICAL REPRESENTATION AS A DEMOCRATIC PROCESS1 Nadia Urbinati In what follows I inquire into the conditions that make representa- tion democratic, or a mode of political participation that can activate a variety of forms of citizen control and oversight. I make three main claims: that representation belongs to the history and practice of de- mocratization; that different theories of representation are possible depending on the relationship between political institutions and so- cial configurations; and that this relationship calls attention to the role of ideology and partisanship in politics, an aspect that contemporary political theory fails to appreciate with its deep-rooted rationalist approach to democratic deliberation. In order to give the reader the sense of my theoretical approach to political representation in demo- cratic society, I will dedicate some introductory reflection to outlin- ing the broader project to which this article belongs.2 The line of argument that unifies my broader project and that constitutes the context of what follows is that representative democ- racy is an original form of government that is not identical with elec- toral democracy. This thesis questions the assumptions about imme- diacy and existential presence that underwrite the idea that direct democracy is the more democratic political form and representation an expedient or second best. Building upon a critical reading of the seminal work of Hanna Pitkin and Bernard Manin, I argue that po- litical representation is a circular process connecting state and soci- ety (that is to say an expression of citizenship in its comprehensive sense). As such, representative democracy is neither aristocratic in 18 NADIA URBINATI kind nor a defective substitute for direct democracy, but a way for democracy to constantly re-create itself and improve.
