To All the Earthborn(e): A Dialogue with Anne Norton
On entanglementEBD: What we call "the mythless myth of modernity" denies the truth of entanglement; it is instead predicated on human dominance and mastery of the nonhuman world.This mythless myth of modernity is an accomplice to both capitalism and liberal democracy in the modern era; both appeal to scientific authority and progress to justify their hegemony and domination.Entanglement implies that "political" or "democratic" activity is not exc…
This Is My Body”
The author argues that Müntzer offers an unrecognized conception of sovereignty as popular, disseminate, and prophetic. The grounding for this conception of sovereignty can be found in Müntzer’s use of common, vulgar, and scatological language, and the ways in which his use departs radically from Luther’s

Juxtaposition, Hemispheric Thought, and the Bounds of Political Theory: Juliet Hooker’s Theorizing Race in the Americas
Inequality is Always in the Room: Language & Power in Deliberative Democracy
Deliberative democracy has the potential to legitimize collective decisions. Deliberation's legitimating potential, however, depends on whether those who deliberate truly enter as equals, whether they are able to express on equal terms their visions of the common good, and whether the forms and practices that govern deliberative assemblies advance or undermine their goals. Here, we examine these sources of deliberation's legitimating potential. W…
Luca Mavelli and Anne Norton Review Each Other’s Books on Discourses on Islam, the West and Post-Secularism
Most of the literature on the idea of a clash of civilization between the West and Islam has either rejected or embraced this thesis by focusing on the alleged compatibility or incompatibility of Islam with Western liberal and secular values. In On the Muslim Question, Anne Norton advances a more original perspective: The controversies surrounding Islam in the West and the idea of a clash of civilization are not a product of Islam’s democratic de…

Minutes of the August 31, 2011, Council Meeting
A regular meeting of the American Political Science Association Council was held in Seattle, Washington, on August 31, 2011. The meeting called to order at 9:00 a.m. by President Pateman. President Pateman declared a quorum present
On the Muslim Question
In the post-9/11 West, there is no shortage of strident voices telling us that Islam is a threat to the security, values, way of life, and even existence of the United States and Europe. For better or worse, “the Muslim question” has become the great question of our time. It is a question bound up with others—about freedom of speech, terror, violence, human rights, women's dress, and sexuality. Above all, it is tied to the possibility of democrac…
The Red Shoes: Islam and the Limits of Solidarity in Cixous's Mon Algériance
The Red Shoes:Islam and the Limits of Solidarity in Cixous's Mon Algériance Anne Norton (bio) "My Algeriance, in other words: to depart not to arrive from Algeria" testifies to Cixous as exile and refugee. Cixous is more uprooted than she knows. She has been torn from a place and a heritage by violence. She has been torn from those who might be her people. This deracination is an artifact of colonialism in its late stages, haunting the postcoloni…
The Danish Cartoon Controversy and the Challenges of Multicultural Politics: A Discussion of The Cartoons That Shook the World
Jytte Klausen's The Cartoons That Shook the World offers an interesting political science account of the Danish cartoon controversy and of a broader set of tensions between multiculturalism, civility, and freedom of expression. The book is also a fascinating case study of how political science can itself become the object of dispute, due to Yale University Press' decision to publish the book without any reproductions of the controversial cartoons…

Democracy and the Divine
Democracy and the Divine Anne Norton (bio) When I spoke at the roundtable on “We are all democrats now,” I spoke from notes, drawing on several aspects of the work I’m now engaged in. In writing the paper after the fact, I have tried to make a virtue of a lack. Surely my thinking has altered because of what was said there. I am especially mindful of a call and a warning. Neve Gordon’s call for us to think again about anarchism spoke to my own sil…
Politics against History: Temporal Distortions in the Study of Politics
While physicists have advanced theories that directly challenged unidimensional theories of history, the social sciences have held on to older, linear conceptions of historical time, but all this should change. Politics entails the making and remaking of the past, the making and remaking of the future, the inheritance of imagined futures, the recognition of the cyclic and the repetitive, reversals of linear causality, and other strategies and eff…
Leo Strauss and the Politics of American Empire
Seeing in the Dark
Seeing in the Dark Anne Norton (bio) Seeing in the Dark Politics and Vision is a work of the Enlightenment that begins with an account of political theory as revelation. Political theory belongs to philosophy as an enterprise of opening. “Philosophy can be distinguished from other methods of eliciting truths, such as the mystic vision, the secret rite, truths of conscience or of private feelings.” There may be, Wolin suggests, truths that belong …
Manliness
Manliness. By Harvey C. Mansfield. New Haven: Yale University Press, 2006. 304p. $27.50. Harvey Mansfield gives the book to us, in the first instance, as a response to feminism. Feminism, he argues, has sought to erase all differences between the genders, a project which must ultimately fail, for those differences are founded in nature. Feminism has succeeded, however, in diminishing the value and suppressing the practice of the virtue of manline…

Leo Strauss and the politics of American empire
The teachings of political theorist Leo Strauss (1899-1973) have recently received new attention, as political observers have become aware of the influence Strauss's students have had in shaping conservative agendas of the Bush administration - including the war on Iraq. This book examines Strauss's ideas and the ways in which they have been appropriated, or misappropriated, by senior policymakers." "Anne Norton, a political theorist trained by s…
