• W2061344124 abstract "166 Rhetoric & Public Affairs appear as somehow illegitimate uses of power. Flyvbjerg argues that power is central to all political relations, but he yearns for a stable situation of equality where rationality can have free play. In many ways, he is a disappointed Utopian unwilling to accept the reality of his own conclusions. A final point: Flyvbjerg traces the plan in great detail. He makes continuous references to streets, squares, intersections, and the location of stores and other features central to the project. While a line map of downtown Aalborg is provided, the reader's understanding of the debate and conflict over the project would have been helped by more detailed maps of both the downtown area of the city and of the surrounding county. Mark S. Jendrysik University of Mississippi Feminism and the New Democracy: Re-Siting the Political. Edited by Jodi Dean. Thousand Oaks, Calif.: Sage, 1997; pp. ν + 274. $29.95 paper. Jodi Dean's project, re-siting the political in an era of new democracy, is part of a larger Sage publications series on philosophy and social criticism. Dean's specific goal is to re-site the political, to recognize the multiple terrains and spaces producing and produced by politics (2). Her interest is in locating the sites from which social and political groups are in perpetual transition, interaction, dissolution, and reconstitution. The term, new democracy, refers to a politicized attunement to multiplicity , an attention to the variety of terrains that are themselves already political , that is, already constituted by and implicated in relations of power and the circulation of power/knowledge (2). Feminism, Dean argues, is integral to this new democracy. Three decades of feminism have encouraged a particular kind of attention to multiplicity, or lack thereof, and a concomitant focus on the ways it contributes to the circulation of power and knowledge. Feminism, Dean maintains, must continue to suggest new coalitional possibilities, new sites for political action in a complex and varied world. Organized in four parts, Feminism and the New Democracy considers and makes problematic questions of victims and victim blaming, coalition building amidst charges of essentialism and naive multiculturalism, the body as a site for the interrogation of social conformity, and ultimately, the meaning of democracy. The collection of essays comes from a variety of academic disciplines and moves from the very particular, to larger theoretical questions, back to the particular, and back again to larger theoretical connections. In the opening section of the book, National Victims, chapters by Kathleen B. Jones, Zillah Eisenstein, Kate Mehuron, Karen Engle and Ranjana Kahanna, and Renata Salecl encourage readers to consider the specifics of victimhood. Each essay is powerfully disturbing: readers encounter the murder of a young feminist at the Book Reviews 167 hands of her boyfriend; the mass marketing of pop feminism; the power of the AIDS epidemic to engender diasporic coalitions; the transnational deployment of essentialist notions of race, gender and culture; and the remainder of hate speech, the something in language that exceeds not only the speaker's control, but scientific enquiry, as well (86). Each chapter disrupts nicely recent power-feminist tales of victim mentality, which is Dean's stated goal. The chapters suggest that discussions of victimhood—as well as the struggle for identity, location, and a place of dignity in the public sphere—are rooted both in individual moments and in larger political, historical, and social structures. To consider all individuals personally responsible for their situations, to blame the victim, is to ignore vast structures of power that limit and define individuals as they assume agency in a new democracy. Part two of Dean's book, Practicing Coalitions, turns away from individual moments to larger sitings, to the work of collectives as they function in a new democracy. Four essays comprise this section, and, rather than frame the practice of coalitions with a deliberation of which conception of identity is 'right,' Dean's goal is to encourage each author to consider which conception of identity is 'useful ' in a given political and historical situation (8). That question is addressed by various authors—Nancy Fraser, Manisha Desai, Shane Phelan and Lee Quinby—who argue, respectively, that in practicing coalitions , individuals must..." @default.
