Whither? Black Lives Matter and the shape of democracy
Whither? Black Lives Matter and the Shape of Democracy
À partir des années 1980, le néolibéralisme a créé une inégalité socio-économique intolérable dans et entre diverses nations du monde. Cela a généré deux mouvements opposés. Le premier est le néofascisme présent dans divers pays et dans des mouvements politiques. Aux États-Unis, il est illustré par la combinaison de la bigoterie, de l’autoritarisme et de la brutalité du « trumpisme ». Le deuxième mouvement s’oppose au fascisme et englobe le progr…
Deleuze's Political Ethics: A Fascism of the New
The cosmology of Deleuze and Guattari emphasises the new. I raise the question of whether this emphasis cancels out two other political virtues, solidarity and heterogeneity, and thereby amounts to a fascism of the new. I reply that what Deleuze and Guattari say about cosmological unity and difference suggests that they can avoid this negative designation. I support this conclusion by considering their statements on ethics and politics and by tra…

Dialogisme et droits de l’Homme au Chiapas
À partir d’une analyse issue de la théorie du discours de Mikhaïl Bakhtine, on reconnaît une problématique à caractère dialogique dans le contexte du soulèvement déclenché par le mouvement zapatiste au Mexique. Bakhtine a en effet développé une conception du dialogisme où sont définies les notions de plurilinguisme, d’hybridation et de compréhension de la multiplicité des « voix » habitant chaque discours. Le discours zapatiste, dans la manière d…
La sociedad de todas las voces Los zapatistas, Bajtín y los derechos humanos
A pesar de sus diferentes orígenes geográficos y culturales, el pensador ruso Mijaíl Bajtín2 y el movimiento zapatista en Chiapas poseen mucho en común. Ambos responden al incumplimiento de las promesas de revolución en sus respectivos países;3 ambos hablan de la sociedad en términos de "voces" díalógicamente relacionadas entre sí; y, más aún, ambos forman parte de una tendencia creciente a valorar "la hibridez" por sobre la pureza como manera de…
The Multivoiced Body: Society and Communication in the Age of Diversity
Ethnic cleansing and other methods of political and social exclusion continue to thrive in our globalized world, complicating the idea that unity and diversity can exist in the same society. When we emphasize unity, we sacrifice heterogeneity, yet when we stress diversity, we create a plurality of individuals connected only by tenuous circumstance. As long as we remain tethered to these binaries, as long as we are unable to imagine the sort of so…
Merleau-Ponty: Key Concepts
Deleuze, Bakhtin, and the ‘Clamour of Voices’
This paper pursues two goals. The first concerns clarifying the relationship between Deleuze and the Russian linguist and culturologist, Mikhail Bakhtin. Not only does Deleuze refer to Bakhtin as a primary source for his emphasis on voice and indirect discourse, both thinkers valorise heterogeneity and creativity. I argue Deleuze's notions of ‘deterritorialisation’ and ‘reterritorialisation’ parallel Bakhtin's idea of ‘heteroglossia’ and ‘monoglo…
Genealogy and the problem of affirmation in Nietzsche, Foucault and Bakhtin
Genealogy is a critical method employed most notably by Friedrich Nietzsche and Michel Foucault. Although he does not explicitly acknowledge it, Mikhail Bakhtin, the Russian linguist and philosopher of language, also uses this method. I examine the way these three thinkers construe both the critical and the affirmative roles of genealogy. The ‘affirmative role’ refers to what genealogy itself valorizes in exposing the limits of the universal clai…

Cyberspace and the concept of democracy
We often speak of democracy as a mere decision-making procedure rather than as a "form of life." Part of the reason for this formalism is the difficulty of revealing the aspects of individual and social existence that provide the impetus toward democracy and that democratic practices should reflect and augment. I argue that the Internet's status as a "virtual" rather than actual reality (its status as a serendipitous form of what phenomenologists…
