Social imaginaries and the theory of the normative utterance
From Charles Taylor to Marcel Gauchet, theorists of the social imaginary have given us new ways to talk about the shared structures of meanings and practices of the West. Theorists of this group have argued against the narrow horizons of meaning that are deployed by deliberative political theories in developing their basic normative concepts and principles, providing an alternative to the oscillation between the constructivism and the realism. Th…
Hiding from History
Arendt versus Ellison on Little Rock
Few of Arendt's writings have drawn more criticism from her own supporters than "Reflections on LIttle Rock," in which she opposes the federally mandated desegregation of schools. I take Arendt's comments as a way of opening up problems in her conception of the relationship among political storytelling, plurality and judgment. I do this through a comparison with the work of Ralph Ellison, who responded to her piece. Ellison's differences with Are…

This book addresses a central dilemma in critical theory today: how to theorize the subject as both a construct of oppressive discourse and as a dialogical agent.

De…

Lyotard's Politics of the Sentence
ince its appearance in 1978 Jean-Francois Lyotard's La Condition postmoderne has been subjected to a number of attacks from many camps: it ignores nonlinguistic forces; it presents an irresponsible Romantic aestheticism; it reinstates rather than deconstructs the logic of identity; it valorizes a naive liberal pluralism.' Lyotard's major work since then, Le Differend (1983), is at once a development Qf and a retreat from the narrative pragmatics …
