- W292850725 abstract "Abstract: Taking as his point of departure London Tottenham riots, a product of a mob lacking consciousness and postulates, author strives to identify fundamental deadlock (aporia) confronting western parliamentary democracy. Nowadays, collective phenomena are analyzed within a moral-economic framework which reduces perspective on society to a sum of individuals. This contradiction is responsible for reductionism which is leading latest theories of social and philosophy to conclusion that we have reached the end of politics and are venturing into postpolitical era. According to this author, rather than describing essence of problem, these terms are merely skimming discursive problem. If, as Foucault would have it, discourse is always a specific practice, aforementioned reductionism can also be approached as a strategy. Therefore, in order to grasp political as a feature of situation in which are participants, rather than in substantial terms, author discusses theory of development of modern subject within framework of Michel Foucault's liberal paradigm and Jacques Ranciere's theory of democracy as a proper element. Drawing upon these two thinkers, he sketches genealogy of contemporary liberal democracy, stigmatized by increasing rift between people's activity and managerial class's apolitical reproduction.Keywords: democracy, Foucault, people, politics, political, Ranciere.Sooner or later a new generation arrives that tries to reinvest certain words with meaning, certain hopes linked to those words, but in different contexts and with differing, indeed aleatory, forms of transmission.Jacques Ranciere, Democracies Against Democracy (2011: 81)Factum Loquendi PoliticaSomething is profoundly wrong with way we live lamented Tony Judt (2010: 1), British historian and social thinker, in his last book and his intellectual and testament. Judt despaired about both wellsprings of community life, which Europe had felt for decades to be her greatest achievement and contribution to development of free societies, and about foundations of future existence which, in face of increasing social and economic problems in Europe herself and in wider western world, had not seemed so fragile and self-destructive for along time. Social and cultural unrest in developed western countries (pauperization of young generation as it enters labour market or deepening ethnic animosities), global financial crisis and, above all, increasing mistrust of leaders and institutions, and consequent reluctance to vote, all lead us to question very roots of ideas believed until only recently to be our undisputable beacons.The basic problem facing European societies today is crisis of parliamentary democracy, increasingly criticized from various sides of and intellectual arena for its ineffectiveness and superficiality, but most of all for alienation of elites and resulting disconnection between will of people and government, between legitimacy of public institutions and trust which is testimony to maturity and cohesion of a particular democratic structure. Although it would seem that western democracies are a completed work, many thinkers, respresenting radical post-structuralist tradition (Giorgio Agamben, Alain Badiou, Jacques Ranciere or Slavoj Zizek), critical leftist ideas (Tony Judt, Pierre Rosanvallon. Wolfgang Streeck), or even liberal (John Gray) or post-conservative (Jesse Norman) thought, are now treating them sceptically, viewing them as a relatively meaningless collection of slogans which continue to be voiced by politicians who remain oblivious to these critiques.Could it be that Rousseau was right when he exposed ineffectiveness of representative government as executor of common will? …" @default.
