Third Camp Politics in Theory and Practice
An interview covering Joanne Landy and Thomas Harrison's work as Third Camp activists and co-directors of the Campaign for Peace and Democracy
Comics, comics studies, and political science
Many readers look to comics and cartoons for entertainment, but they can also inform, as well as inspire, controversy and even acts of political violence, as the Jyllands-Posten and Charlie Hebdo cases demonstrate. Indeed, politics and comics connect and overlap in all sorts of ways. This review essay explores the nexus of politics and comics at a time when a growing number of cartoonists are creating extended works of graphic nonfiction that add…

The Politics of the Superhero
This symposium explores the relationship of superheroes to questions of power, ideology, social relations, and political culture. It represents the first time that a political science journal has devoted sustained attention to the superhero genre as it is reflected in the pages of comic books and graphic novels, and on the big screen
The punisher and the politics of retributive justice
The archetypal character of the retributive antihero – one who makes his own rules and follows his own conscience – is a familiar figure in mass culture, appearing in film, television, video games, and comics. This character represents the frustrations of millions of people who feel powerless and who fantasize about striking back at their enemies, be they real or imagined. This essay looks at one of the most prominent vigilantes in contemporary p…
New York City, 9/11, and Comics
The shock of 9/11 generated a long wave of graphic commentary, memoir, and thinly disguised fiction from cartoonists and graphic artists who in many cases watched the towers burn with their own eyes. While individual filmmakers, poets, playwrights, and novelists have addressed 9/11-related themes, 9/11 and its aftermath resonated in a singular way within an industry and subculture that remains anchored in the five boroughs. The destruction and ho…
The Meaning and Legacy of the Magna Carta
The six essays of this symposium address different aspects of the meaning and legacy of the Magna Carta—“the Great Charter” in Latin. Although social scientists and legal scholars routinely describe the Magna Carta as foundational for concepts of justice and liberty, the charter itself is rarely assigned in political science classes or scrutinized by political theorists. The aim of the symposium is twofold: first, to affirm the document's histori…

Published to coincide with both the Labour Party conference and the Conservative Party conference in the tenth year of the Prime Minister's reign in office, this book traces the continuing public consequences of Thatcher's relationship with her mother, whom she repudiates so brutally.

Trade Union Strategies and the Enterprise Culture in Britain
Trade union elites in Britain found their organizations scorned, isolated and embattled in the 1980s. The combined impact of mass unemployment, the policies of the Thatcher government, and global capitalist restructuring had a profound impact on the position of trade unions both in the workplace and in the wider society. The effort of the Thatcher government to implant an 'enterprise culture' led to the expulsion of union elites from the policy-m…
