The Political Writings of Marquis de Condorcet

"In any case, we know only that if there is a really socialist governmentality, then it is not hidden within socialism and its texts.  It cannot be deduced from them. It must be invented."Michel Foucault, The Birth of Biopolitics: 94 This colloquium brings together five organizers and radical thinkers from different corners of the planet who will address the question of Occupy, the Left and the new governmentality. Brief presentations will be followed by a discussion open to the general public.Sarah Hawas -CU and Jan25Marianne LeNabat- NSSR and OWSDotan Leshem- CU and J-14Nadia Urbinati- CUDimitris Vardoulakis- UWSModerator: Stathis Gourgouris- CUIn the four years since the outbreak of the financial crisis, the world witnessed a growing loss of popular consent to the neoliberal regime in both liberal democracies and autocratic post-imperial states. Although grasping the magnitude of the opportunity embedded in the moment, the Left has failed to seize it. Both organizers and thinkers alike tend to agree that one of the main reasons for that is their personal failure to formulate a novel form of governmentality to which Michel Foucault referred. While political thinkers, whether reformists or radical, are struggling to gain ground in their attempts to formulate a much needed novel rationality of government, a younger generation of Occupy organizers are gaining invaluable experience performing various forms of government and are painfully aware of the challenges yet to be met.

Recorded November 19, 2012 at Columbia University.In the immediate aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States, television icon of the North American religious right, Reverend Jerry Falwell, made a guest appearance on the Christian Broadcasting Network's 700 Club in which he claimed that feminists, among others, were at least partially to blame for ‘God’s wrath descending on America’.     As outrageous as Falwell’s remarks may have been, they made an explicit connection between the occurrence of terrorism on United States’ soil, and the circulation and institutionalization of feminist principles and practices within dominant North American culture. In Falwell’s formulation, feminism is, however indirectly, causally connected to, and responsible for, terrorism. For the televangelist moral right, feminism, like terrorism, is constructed as a political threat to the United States.     This talk seeks to establish the grounds upon which feminism can be constructed as aligned with terrorism. I argue that, in the United States, the discursive cross-wiring of feminism with terrorism – which extends well beyond the texts of the religious right – finds its origins in a particular constellation of forces informing the rise and representation of second wave feminism in the 1970s; in particular, the rise of both ‘home-grown terrorism’ (terrorism carried out by US citizens on US soil) and, the ‘new’ threat of the female terrorist. By asking what are the conditions of possibility for the discursive cross-wiring of feminism with terrorism, this talk aims to open up a space to reflect upon the ways that feminism resonates within the popular domain today.
