True Crime Television as ‘Popular Legality’: Affect, Testimonial Injustice, and the Criminal (In)Justice System in Ava DuVernay’s When They See Us
This article examines the Netflix true crime series When They See Us (2019) as a form of “popular legality” (Olson 2022). I argue that the show criticizes structural racism in the US criminal justice system and emphasizes this critique on a level of affect. More precisely, it is through an affective engagement of the audience with the show’s protagonists that When They See Us highlights how Black and Latinx communities are discriminated by US law…
Unbecoming Subjects: Judith Butler, Moral Philosophy, and Critical Responsibility
Moral philosophy and poststructuralism have long been considered two antithetical enterprises. Moral philosophy is invested in securing norms, whereas poststructuralism attempts to unclench the grip of norms on our lives. Moreover, poststructuralism is often suspected of undoing the possibility of ethical knowledge by emphasizing the unstable, socially constructed nature of our practices and knowledge. In Unbecoming Subjects, Annika Thiem argues …
Theological-Political Ruins: Walter Benjamin, Sovereignty, and the Politics of Skeletal Eschatology
Beyond Bad Conscience: Marcuse and Affects of Religion after Secularism
At first blush, it may seem odd to discuss religion in connection with the work of Herbert Marcuse. Religion, after all, is not a topic that runs strongly through Marcuse's work. Marcuse does not consider religion as a crucial ally for the Left, nor does he seem to regard religion as a social force that requires any special critical effort. In many ways, Marcuse's work bespeaks a general acceptance of the secularization thesis as a historical pri…
Schmittian Shadows and Contemporary Theological-Political Constellations
The last two decades have seen the number of debates about the continued social and political role of religion multiply and expand across the humanities and social sciences. In political theory, discussions have often more or less narrowly gravitated toward Carl Schmitt’s understanding of "political theology" and the connection to the larger contemporary landscape of inquiries remains often only suggestive. To counteract the danger of a Schmittia…
Adorno's Tears: Textures of Philosophical Emotionality
Finale.?The only philosophy that can be practiced responsibly in the face of despair would be the attempt to contemplate all things as they would present themselves from the standpoint of redemption. Knowledge has no light but that shed on the world by redemption. . . . Perspectives would have to be created in which the world displaces itself, estranges itself, reveals its fissures and crevices similar to how indigent and garbled it will lie open…
