Sieyès and republican liberty
In On the People’s Terms, Philip Pettit incorporates the Sieyèsian notion of constituent power into his constitutional theory of non-domination. In this article, I argue that Emmanuel Sieyès’s understanding of liberty precludes such an appropriation. While a republican, his conceptualisation of liberty in the face of commercial society stood apart from theories of civic vigilance, preferring instead to disentangle individuals from politics and ma…
Pretenders of a Vile and Unmanly Disposition: Thomas Hobbes on the Fiction of Constituent Power
The prevailing interpretation of constituent power is taken to be the extra-institutional capacity of a group, typically “the people,” to establish or revise the basic constitutional conditions of a state. Among many contemporary democratic theorists, this is understood as a collective capacity for innovation. This paper excavates an alternative perspective from constituent power’s genealogy. I argue that constituent power is not a creative mater…
Hannah Arendt, the problem of the absolute and the paradox of constitutionalism, or: ‘How to restart time within an inexorable time continuum’
Contemporary theorists of constituent power recognize a tension in which the omnipotent novelty of constituent power is necessarily policed by constituted power. Beginning with Arendt’s claim that the categories of constitutional stability and political novelty should be thought together rather than treated as oppositional, this article presents an interpretation of her work that seeks to address this ‘paradox of constitutionalism’. While comment…

MPEG's latest effort, the Multimedia Content Description Interface, or MPEG-7, promises to standardise descriptions of Audio-visual material to allow universal indexing, retrieval, filtering, control, and other activities supported by rich meta-data. We give an overview of the current conception of MPEG-7, outline responses to the Call for Proposals, give examples how current practice could be incorporated into the MPEG-7 framework, and offer a f…
