Not a Quiet Place
Background/Objectives: Adaptation to extrauterine life is challenging for preterm newborns. Environmental stimuli, such as noise, can lead to adverse health outcomes, causing instability of vital parameters and impairment of neurodevelopment. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends a maximum environmental noise level of 45 decibels (dB) or less in the NICU. The study's primary aim was to describe environmental noise in a neonatal intensive …
Beyond emergency politics
This article problematizes the recent comeback of the exceptionalist jargon as it is conjured by both critics and sympathizers. While in the last decades governments across the globe had recourse to emergency measures to cope with far-reaching emergencies, from terrorism to the COVID-19 pandemic, the received view has it that political power takes advantage of states of emergency as they put themselves in the position to circumvent constitutional…
The plight of the exception
This article offers an in-depth analysis of Carl Schmitt's social ontology to explain how and why he came to reject exceptionalist decisionism. To this end, the authors unearth the considerable shifts in terms of social ontology that paved the way for this conceptual turn. The gist of their argument is that Schmitt's Political Theology (1922) espoused a Hobbesian conception of the political as the possibility condition for stable patters of socia…
Carl Schmitt's Institutional Theory
In 1922, Carl Schmitt penned Political Theology, the celebrated essay in which he elaborated on the notorious theory that the heart of politics lies in the sovereign power to issue emergency measures that suspend the legal order. Ever since, Schmitt's thinking has largely been identified with this concept, despite him renouncing it over time. Offering a comprehensive analysis of Schmitt's writings, Carl Schmitt's Institutional Theory provides an …
Little room for exceptions
Carl Schmitt is generally considered as the father of exceptionalism – the theory that the heart of politics lies in the sovereign power to issue emergency measures that suspend everyday normality. This is why his name comes up anytime state governments, whether liberal or not, impose limits on constitutional rights and freedoms to cope with emergencies. This article problematises such a received understanding. It argues that Schmitt held an exce…
A counter-mine that explodes silently
This contribution is intended to provide an answer to a controversial question: Why does Carl Schmitt – perhaps the firmest advocate of the state unity – not only mention and praise Santi Romano’s book on the legal order – a work that can be rightfully considered an uncompromising defence of legal pluralism – but even list him among his inspirers? While a given (and essentially flawed) interpretation of Romano’s institutional model, like that pro…
Normality as social semantics. Schmitt, Bourdieu and the politics of the normal
This article takes issue with the practical and the cognitive roles of normality within political life and its relevance to the constitution of the groups that comprise a political community. From a practical viewpoint, normality fosters standards of correctness; from a cognitive viewpoint, these standards are what allows individuals to perceive themselves, and to be recognized, as group members. To achieve this aim, the article delves into Carl …
Why Does the Law Want Us to Be Normal? Schmitt's Institutionalism and the Critique of the Liberal Legal Order
This article aims to explore the relation between the legal order of the liberal state and its tendency to protect the boundaries of normality, that is, roughly speaking, a consistent set of widespread practices and normative standards within a political community. If the idea that some sort of normality unavoidably represents the innermost substance of liberal constitutions is hardy new, we will rather be concerned with law’s effort to conceal h…
The Legal Theory of Carl Schmitt
The Legal Theory of Carl Schmitt provides a detailed analysis of Schmitt’s institutional theory of law, mainly developed in the books published between the end of the 1920s and the beginning of the 1930s. By reading Schmitt’s overall work through the lens of his institutional turn, the authors offer a strikingly different interpretation of Schmitt’s theory of politics, law and the relation between these two domains. The book argues that Schmitt’s…
The Tragic Theory of Carl Schmitt
The Winter 2010 issue of Telos has clearly highlighted the relevance of Carl Schmitt's Hamlet or Hecuba to both the interpretation of Schmitt's political theory and Shakespearean criticism. The main thesis concerning Schmitt's intrusion into the literary field deals with the structural relationships between historical context and tragic dimension, between politics and aesthetics; the tragic drama can be properly understood only in relation to the…
Ethical Substance and the Coexistence of Normative Orders
This article argues for an interactional conception of law, within an institutionalist legal perspective. Through a comparison between Carl Schmitt’s and Santi Romano’s concepts of law, we underscore (in (Section 1) the relevance and the role of an ethical residue in the understanding of the relationships between the legal order and society. Although both Schmitt and Romano are to be considered as institutionalist thinkers, in that their concepts…
