Moderniteten som permanent liminalitet?

Udgivet den

Foredrag ved Bjørn Thomassen, Institut for samfund og globalisering, Roskilde Universitet, 8. oktober 2014. På baggrund af den netop udgivne bog, Liminality and the Modern. Living Through the In-Between, diskuterer Bjørn Thomassen, hvilken rolle ’liminalitet’ måtte have for samfundsvidenskaberne og den sociologiske tænkning. Liminalitet -et begreb, oprindelig udviklet inden for antropologien- betegner de historiske øjeblikke, hvor den sociale orden, der normalt tages for givet, pludselig forsvinder. Begrebet om ”liminalitet” er relevant for studiet af revolution, men også for en mere generel begrebsliggørelse af forandring og samfundstransformation. På et metateoretisk plan kan man derfor diagnosticere modernitetens væsen som en særlig form for ”permanent liminalitet”. Liminality and the Modern. Living Through the In-Between, Ashgate, 2014 www.ashgate.com/isbn/9781409460817.

The Signature of Power: towards an analytics of power for the social sciences

Udgivet den

Foredrag af Mitchell Dean, Professor of Public Governance at Copenhagen Business School and Professor of Sociology, University of Newcastle, Australia, 17 september 2014.
The Signature of Power expands the analysis of power beyond its current widespread limitation, within sociology and the social sciences, to diverse and localized social relations, found in governance, networks or civil society, and its exclusion or diminution of law, sovereignty, state, and their rituals and symbols. Contrary to this, the idea of a ‘signature of power’ stresses a reversibility between two changing poles: power to and power over, power as capacity and power as right, juridical-sovereignty and economic management, reign and government. It explores this signature through three perspectives: that of Michel Foucault’s genealogy of power and government, Carl Schmitt’s political theology, and Giorgio Agamben’s theological genealogy of economy and government. It argues that each of them tries and fails to escape the signature of power, but in the process that we learn about the renewal of both the study of power and the social sciences. This renewal includes a focus, inter alia, on public-ness and publicity, legitimacy, ceremony, acclamation and symbols, and the theological elements of the most rationalized of political and economic forms.

KRITIKKENS U-VENDING

Udgivet den

Foredrag ved Rasmus Willig, RUC, 20. maj 2014.
Flere nulevende sociologer og filosoffer mener at ”dampen er gået af samfundskritikken”, eller den er blevet ”tandløs” eller ligefrem er ”reduceret til nostalgi”. ”Det ikke længere samfundets skyld, men min egen skyld”. Sådan er der flere som tænker og det betyder at den traditionelle samfundskritik er blevet til selvkritik. Nu er det ikke længere de herskende klasser som anklages for samfundets uretfærdigheder, men de enkelte individer, som ikke er selvansvarlige og som ikke kan forvalte deres talenter, færdigheder eller evner. Foredraget sætter ord på, hvordan der er sket en u-vending af kritikken og hvilke konsekvenser det får for både samfund og individ.
Rasmus Willig, Ph.d. er tidl. formand for Dansk Sociologforening og lektor ved Institut for Samfund og Globalisering, Roskilde Universitet. Han har blandt andet skrevet bøgerne (2007) Til forsvar for kritikken, (2009) Umyndiggørelse. Et essays om kritikkens infrastruktur og (2013) Kritikkens U-vending. Har desuden tidligere redigeret og skrevet introduktion til blandt andet Axel Honneth (2003) Behovet for anerkendelse, (2006) Kamp om anerkendelse og (2005) Sociale Patologier (med Marie Østergaard). Alle på Hans Reitzels Forlag. København. Han har skrevet for dagbladet Information og var en af arkitekterne bag Politikens kritiker- og debattørskole.

LØSLADT OG GÆLDSAT

Udgivet den

Foredrag ved Annette Olesen, Syddansk Universitet, 2. april 2014.
I Danmark hæfter domfældte i straffesager for de nødvendige omkostninger, der er medgået til behandlingen af deres sag. Disse udgifter består bl.a. af forsvarssalær, udgifter til tekniske undersøgelser, DNA-analyser og lægeerklæringer. Idømmes domfældte en fængselsstraf, løslades pågældende til en offentlig gæld, der ofte virker som en uoverskuelig og ubetalelig ekstra straf. Gældssituationen påvirker de løsladte forskelligt. De løsladte, der forsøger at leve kriminalitetsfrit, oplever i højere grad de negative følger af gælden, hvorimod de løsladte der genoptager en kriminel løbebane gerne udvikler alternative handlingsstrategier, der kompenserer for de negative følger af gælden.
Annette Olesen (1982), cand. scient. soc. og ph.d. (jura), adjunkt på Juridisk Institut, Syddansk Universitet. Hendes ph.d.-afhandling “Løsladt og gældsat” danner baggrunden for oplægget.

Rethinking Democracy’s Relation to Crisis: Is the Concept of Crisis itself in Crisis?

Udgivet den

Foredrag af Nikolas Kompridis, Research professor and director of the Institute for Social Justice, Australian Catholic University Sydney, 21 maj 2014.
Abstract: ”In this talk I will make two seemingly dissonant but interrelated claims: 1) that “crisis” in a strictly defined sense is internal to democracy, both inescapable and necessary, from which circumstance distinctive normative, conceptual and institutional implications follow, and 2) that the concept of “crisis” is itself in crisis, making it an increasingly suspect if not meaningless category of diagnosis and critique.”
Kompridis research areas are Critical theory; democratic theory; theories of agency and action; theories of rationality; theories of identity, recognition, and culture; secularism and modernity; the role of social criticism in social change; the renewal of romanticism; and issues in philosophy of art, literature, music and film. Kant, Hegel, Heidegger, Adorno, Arendt, Habermas, Foucault, Taylor, Cavell.
