The Art of the Deal, The Arts of Democracy
Donald Trump's politics has been variously described as "neoliberal," "nationalist," "authoritarian," "populist," and even "fascist," and all these descriptors are appropriate in some respects. In this article, I explore the linkages between Trump, neoliberalism, and fascism through what may seem an unlikely aspect of his politics, that is, his artistry as a candidate and now the president. In elevating deal-making to an art form, Trump is not un…

Shield Maidens, Fashy Femmes, and TradWives
Although media images typically present the alt right as a "manosphere," white women continue to participate actively in white supremacist movements. Alt right women's presence as "shield maidens," "fashy femmes," and "trad wives" serves to soften and normalize white supremacy, often in ironic and insidious ways. In this essay, I examine the continued investment of white women in these traditional sex/gender roles espoused by the alt right. While…

Anti-, Neo-, Post-, and Proto
Conservatism has always been a reluctant ideology, more a pragmatic response to events than a coherent system of fundamental principles. The Newest Right, which has now emerged with renewed vigor in America, Europe, and beyond, is no exception. It continues to invoke powerful traditions and deeply rooted identities as the enduring foundations of social order and political authority. However, conservatives today also refuse to set limits on person…
Musical Democracy
"Musical metaphors abound in political theory and music often accompanies political movements, yet music is seldom regarded as political communication. In this groundbreaking book, Nancy S. Love explores how music functions as metaphor and model for democracy in the work of political theorists and activist musicians. She examines deliberative democratic theorists - Jurgen Habermas and John Rawls - who employ musical metaphors to express the sense…

Rawlsian Harmonies
John Rawls's distinction between a comprehensive liberalism and his political version remains unclear to even his sympathetic critics. They stress his over-reliance on intuitive ideas of a liberal political culture in formulating the original position and its principles of justice. In this article, I argue that Rawls defends his liberal intuitions in a way philosophers might least expect. He conveys the sense of justice that motivates political l…
Singing for Our Lives”
Although democratic theorists often employ musical metaphors to describe their politics, musical practices are seldom analyzed as forms of political communication. In this article, I explore how the music of social movements, what is called “movement music,” supplements deliberative democrats' concept of public discourse as rational argument. Invoking energies, motions, and voices beyond established identities and institutions anticipates a diffe…

The Cambridge Companion to Habermas
Jurgen Habermas is unquestionably one of the foremost philosophers writing today. His notions of communicative action and rationality have exerted a profound influence within philosophy and the social sciences. This volume examines the historical and intellectual contexts out of which Habermas' work emerged, and offers an overview of his main ideas, including those in his most recent publication. Amongst the topics discussed are his relationship …

Foucault & Habermas on Discourse & Democracy
The problem of modernity is the subject of a continuing debate that revolves around three issues: rationality, subjectivity, and democracy. Jürgen Habermas and Michel Foucault are major figures in this debate. The author argues that their positions on democratic discourse are one-sided. Still, their debate defines the tasks of democratic theory by raising the questions a balanced theory of democratic discourse must consider: When does subjectivit…

Epistemology and Exchange
Jurgen Habermas argues that critical theorists' analyses ofthe dialectic of enlightenment contain a performative contradiction. By identifying reason with repression, they undermine the foundations of their own critique.' Habermas traces this performative contradiction to Friedrich Nietzsche's influence upon critical theory, but a significant gap appears in his analysis of it.2 Habermas argues that Adorno, by associating identity with exchange, e…

Ideal Speech and Feminist Discourse
Modern or postmodern? This debate which has long raged among political theorists now plays a central role in feminist theory. Although traditional theorists typically choose a side, feminist theorists often split the difference. Since feminist struggles require unity and diversity, they construct and deconstruct "Woman" to suit "Her" purposes. This strategy raises the political questions: Who decides who "we" are? How should that decision be made…
