Exploring the Topography of the Authoritarian: Populism, Illiberalism, and Authoritarianism
“Democratic regression,” the “retreat of western liberalism,” the “return” or “renaissance” of authoritarianism or the “third wave of autocratization” − these are some the many labels for diverse phenomena − or problems of authority − that plague societies in the Global North and South. Commonly, such problems of authority are specified as pathological practices of corruption or institutional defects, deviant forms of governance or pathological s…
Paying for the Consequences. How Privatization and Austerity Disabled Infection Protection Law

Privatization, flanked by austerity programs, disempowers public health institutions and authorities as well as disables the regular legal regimes covering public health. When c…

Staat als Begriff und Vorstellung
The article reconstructs the visual representations of the state beginning with the frontispiece of Thomas Hobbes' Leviathan and its variations in »The Elements of Law«. While Hobbes' visual strategy is informed by a distrust of language, Michel Foucault departs from both this distrust as well as the fixation on sovereignty. His deconstruction of the representation paves the way for a democratic aesthetics. The need for symbols of political domin…

Poland, of Course, is a Critical Case
Left organizations have seldom succeeded in acting together in what is morally required and politically wise. Collective actions always presuppose some agreement concerning concrete historical situations as well as some moral principles irreducible to strategic or tactical calculations. This agreement is commensurate with a minimal distance from a specific political tradition, i.e., self-criticism. In other words, claims excluding theoretical con…
