Nancy Fraser and Politics
Nancy Fraser and Politics is a systematic reconstruction of the work of Nancy Fraser, a key contemporary figure of critical theory and socialist feminism. It argues that Fraser's critical theory is a powerful and sophisticated analytical prism for diagnosing the breadth of empirical variety and depth of structural causality of injustice and domination in the ‘actually existing’ capitalist democracies of today, and for informing and inspiring numerous political movements struggling for societal emancipation. Ivković and Zarić demonstrate that a key aspect of Fraser’s critical theory - her structural approach to domination which traces the manifold empirical injustices to a common root cause - is a thread that runs through her entire opus.
Human Rights and Digital Technology
Analysing the convergence of law and regulation with rapidly evolving communications technologies, this interdisciplinary work navigates the intricate balancing act between human rights protection and technological innovation in a digital age, and illuminates the comprehensive potential of human rights to frame our intelligent use of technology. The authors address such pressing questions as how to protect user privacy online, whether digital pollution is a health hazard, who should have control and be responsible for data technologies and how to maintain human autonomy in a world of interconnected objects. By considering specific cases, this book provides an in-depth exploration of the many regulatory and technological choices citizens, states, civil society organizations and the private sector should consider to ensure that digital technology more fully serves human needs.

La Littérature stéthoscope
Les deux champs disciplinaires de la littérature et de la médecine qui s'étaient progressivement éloignés au cours de l'histoire moderne font aujourd'hui l'objet d'un mouvement de convergence. Les écritures contemporaines s'emparent de la question du soin, en même temps que fleurissent les ateliers d'écriture pour les soignant·es et les soigné·es et que se développe l'apprentissage de la médecine narrative. Dans La littérature stéthoscope, des chercheur·es et des praticien·nes du soin interrogent lectures et pratiques du récit écrit, dans leur relation à la maladie, la défaillance physique ou mentale. La littérature est-elle parfois réparatrice et toujours d'accompagnement ? Quels liens naissent entre gestes d'écriture créative et gestes thérapeutiques ? Quel statut accorder au passage par la narration à l'hôpital, dans le cabinet médical, dans les cursus universitaires ? Selon les lieux et les expériences, les réponses font entendre des différences, mais toutes s'accordent sur l'intérêt de placer le texte de création au rang des instruments d'auscultation de la diversité des formes de vie.
La promesse démocratique
Un monde s’invente sous nos yeux qui semble nous échapper. Qu’il s’agisse du climat, de la globalisation, de la crise sanitaire ou du numérique, ces questions nouvelles suscitent une défiance inédite envers les systèmes démocratiques dont on trouve les échos dans les records d’abstention, la crise des Gilets Jaunes et les manifestations contre le passe sanitaire. Les modèles forgés au fil des quatre derniers siècles semblent épuisés. La voie d’un dépassement existe pourtant, nous n’avons même jamais été aussi proches de réaliser la promesse démocratique d’une émancipation individuelle et collective et d’une maîtrise de nos vies et notre avenir. En partant du constat qu’il y a un écart manifeste entre les discours propagés sur le retrait des citoyens de tous les espaces politiques et le fait que, sur le terrain, les Français n’ont presque jamais fait autant de politique, cet ouvrage présente un tout autre visage des citoyens, esquissant une façon différente de gouverner nos sociétés. Un ouvrage à la fois sans concession sur le diagnostic mais aussi très optimiste sur la possibilité d’inventer une issue et porteur d'espoir.
Refusing to Be Silent
How can we approach the world and guide our thinking in the face of profound, myriad challenges? This is the ambitious question that animates the current volume. The book seeks to formulate these challenges and develop ways to tackle them through a set of wide-ranging interviews with leading intellectuals of our times, including Nancy Fraser, Seyla Benhabib, Michael Walzer and Etienne Balibar. Contributing fresh perspectives on current events - from the liberation of women's voices to the crisis of secularism; from populism, the pandemic, and the rise of conspiracy theories to new forms of resistance - these essays show a refusal to lapse into rigid and reductive oppositions, instead providing critically nuanced interpretations of contemporary events and struggles. The collection brings together original and accessible points of view, selected by researchers from the Institute for Philosophy and Social Theory at the University of Belgrade, in the pursuit of and safeguarding intellectual freedom.
Just Enough
A systematic clarification and defence of Sufficientarianism 'having enough' as a demand of justiceLiam Shields systematically clarifies and defends the political philosophy of Sufficientarianism, which insists that securing enough of some things, such as food, healthcare and education, is a crucial demand of justice. By engaging in practical debates about critical issues such as child-rearing and global justice, the author sheds light on the potential implications of suffientarianism on the social policies that affect our daily lives. Key FeaturesThe first book-length treatment of sufficiency as a demand of justiceCritically discusses the relative merits of sufficiency compared to equality or priority Makes a new contribution to debates in political theory about autonomy and upbringing from a sufficientarian perspective
Agamben and Politics
Tracing how the logic of inoperativity works in the domains of language, law, history and humanity, 'Agamben and Politics' systematically introduces the fundamental concepts of Agamben's political thought and a critically interprets his insights in the wider context of contemporary philosophy. In a change of focus from Agamben's other commentators, Sergei Prozorov brings out the affirmative mood of Agamben's political thought. He concentrates on the concept of inoperativity, which has been a central to Agamben's thought from his earliest writings.
Security as Politics
Andrew W. Neal argues that while 'security' was once an anti-political 'exception' in liberal democracies - a black box of secret intelligence and military decision-making at the dark heart of the state - it has now become normalised in professional political life. This represents a direct challenge to critical security studies debates and their core assumption that security is a kind of illiberal and undemocratic 'anti-politics'. Using archival research and interviews with politicians, Neal investigates security politics from the 1980s to the present day to show how its meaning and practice have changed over time. In doing so, he develops an original reassessment of the security/politics relationship.
