Frygten for fraktioner i forestillinger om folket – Hobbes, Locke og Rousseau om suverænitet, folk og politik
I denne artikel argumenterer jeg for, at forestillingen om folkesuverænitet overtager den politiske grundmodel fra tidligere måder at tænke suverænitet på ved at kon-stituere det politiske forhold som værende det mellem individet på den ene side og staten, nationen eller folket på den anden. Dermed bliver individet det grundlæg-gende politiske subjekt, hvormed alle andre sammenslutninger udgrænses som po-litiske subjekter. Artiklen argumenterer f…
Dis-embedding forces and associative counter-movements
The opposition between individual rights and state sovereignty, which continues to structure political and economic discussions today, is only in apparent contradiction, as they form the two poles of the dominant individual-state imaginary of social and political order. This is highlighted when contrasting it to the model of social order it has historically combatted, namely, the associative imaginary. The two display an antagonistic understandin…
The spirits of democratic enterprise
This paper proposes an ideal typology, based on Danish cooperative history, of contending ‘spirits’ that inform the establishment of democratically-owned enterprises. Democratic enterprises have in recently been subject of increasing interest from scholars and activists as an alternative to the neoliberal corporation. However, studies on democratic enterprises lack a historical understanding of the constitution of the democratic sector of the eco…
Civil Society in the Shadow of the Neoliberal State
Governmentality and Statification
This article contributes to governmentality studies and state theory by discussing how to understand the centrality and importance of the state from a governmentality perspective. It uses Giorgio Agamben's critique of Michel Foucault's governmentality approach as a point of departure for re-investigating Foucault as a thinker of the state. It focuses on Foucault's notion of the state as a process of 'statification' which emphasizes the state as s…
Rescuing Welfare Society
The article analyzes how civil society is constructed in two Danish civil society strategies from 2010 to 2017, the governmental programmes of the governments in question and the role civil society plays in the proposed upcoming reform of the Danish public sector, the Cohesion Reform. The article approaches civil society from a Foucauldian perspective meaning that it on the one hand analyzes civil society as a transactional reality, something whi…
Statens livsnødvendige cirkulation
The article analyzes the role of trade in the constitution of the modern state in 17th century England. The article focuses on the metaphor of the body politic and especially the ideas on circulation from William Harvey and how these can be used to analyze Thomas Hobbes’ ideas on trade and circulation in Leviathan and the economic thought of William Petty. Harvey’s thoughts on circulation were revolutionary and highly influential on the political…
