尸体都在哪里?政治机构中居住着活生生的人,他们吃、睡、做手势、渴望和受苦。然而,政治领域的参与者往往被描绘成脱离实体的头脑,与他们的物质存在分离和不同。Amanda Machin认为民主政治的六种具体模式:代表、商议、分歧、抗议、占领和辩护。她借鉴了莫里斯·梅洛·庞蒂、迈克尔·波兰尼、西蒙·德·波伏娃、唐娜·哈拉韦和朱迪思·巴特勒等不同的思想家,以引人入胜的方式阐释了人体不仅是政治的纪律对象,而且是民主的生成主体。
Bodies of Democracy: Modes of Embodied Politics
Series: Political Science, 84
Where are all the bodies? Political institutions are populated by living, breathing human beings, who eat, sleep, gesture, desire and suffer. And yet participants of the political realm are often depicted as disembodied minds, detached and distinct from their corporeal existence. Amanda Machin considers six embodied modes of democratic politics: representation, deliberation, disagreement, protest, occupation and counsel. Drawing on diverse thinkers such as Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Michael Polanyi, Simone de Beauvoir, Donna Haraway and Judith Butler, she offers an absorbing illustration of the ways human bodies are not only the disciplined objects of politics, but the generative subjects of democracy.
