Small things, deep resonance
Jeffrey C Goldfarb responds to the commentaries and reflections of the authors in this volume
Memory, art and the social condition
Theodor Adorno once famously declared: ‘To write poetry after Auschwitz is barbaric’. An opposing proposition: without poetry, and more generally speaking, without the arts, we cannot successfully confront modern barbarism. This paper explores this opposing proposition by closely analysing three works of art and how they have made it possible to confront difficult pasts – Toni Morrison’s Beloved, Paweł Pawlikowski’s film, Ida, and Maya Lin’s Viet…
Media Events , solidarity, and the rise and fall of the public sphere
Dayan and Katz’s classic, Media Events, has continued relevance even as its primary object of inquiry, ceremonial television, is no longer as significant as it once was. The book demonstrates how a key insight of Gabriel Tarde, concerning the importance of media in modern societies, resolves a dilemma of Emile Durkheim’s sociology, the continued importance of common beliefs and rituals in complex society when the members of society have more diff…
Quel âge post-séculier
Que signifient les discours actuels en faveur du « post-séculier » ? Et pourquoi faudrait-il en finir avec l'âge séculier ? Qui l'exige ou le demande ? Quels sont les événements qui le requièrent ? Ces dernières années, un débat sur la place de la religion dans les démocraties libérales s'est engagé dans le monde intellectuel. Si certains ont parlé d'un âge séculier et d'autres d'une « société post-séculière », c'est parfois la dynamique même de …
Civility and Subversion Revisited
And The Not So Lost Treasure of the Revolutionary Tradition, or Barack Obama and the Politics of Small Things
Introduction
On Barack Obama
The Sociology of Micro‐politics
In this paper, the political dimensions of the social interactions of everyday life are investigated. The perspectives of Michel Foucault and Michel de Certeau, George Herbert Mead and Erving Goffman, are applied. A close analysis of micro‐politics in Israel–Palestine and the Sinai is used to reveal the independent significance of micro‐politics, as it is shown that such politics constitute the prevailing order of things, but also present the pos…

The Politics of Small Things
A distinctive dimension of political life, power as the capacity for people to act in concert, was a key in understanding one of the major transformations of the late twentieth century—the democratic aftermath of the collapse of the Soviet empire in central Europe. In this paper, the way this dimension—the politics of small things—provides alternatives in the United States is analyzed. A new media regime, with significant interactions between vir…

Why is there no feminism after communism?
If the intellectual's role is to provoke serious discussion about pressing social problems in public and not to bring truth to the world, as I have maintained, we can recognize the wisdom and limitations of both the civil society and the subaltern position, the importance of civility and subversion. Intellectuals who cultivate a civil public realm do provide the time and the place for deliberations and may reap remarkable fruit, as the experience…
Civility and Subversion
This 1998 book provides a sophisticated alternative to existing accounts of the role of the intellectual in modern democracy. Arguing that society suffers from a systemic deliberation deficit, Jeffrey Goldfarb explores the potential of the intellectual as democratic agent, at once civilizing political contestation and subverting complacent consensus. The sentimental Leftist view of the intellectual as guardian of democracy and the demonising Righ…
Public and Private in Thought and Practice
These essays, by contributors from the fields ranging from social and political theory to historical sociology and cultural studies, seek to illuminate the significance of the public/private distinction for an increasingly wide range of debates. Commenting on controversies surrounding such issues as abortion rights, identity politics, and the requirements of democratization, many of these essays clarify crucial processes that have shaped the cult…

Social Bases of Independent Public Expression in Communist Societies
Owing to official support of cultural traditions, the critical aspects of marxism, and the development of limited autonomy in cultural istitutions, independent public expression can and does develop in Communist societies despite the will of the political elite. In this paper, independent public expression is shown to be inherent in Communist societies; consequently, the relationship between politics and cultural life in these societies is consid…
