Bureaucracy without alienation

Colin Grey · University of Toronto Law Journal · 2020

In The Public’s Law, Blake Emerson proposes a ‘Progressive theory’ of administrative law that fuses Hegelian and democratic elements. The Progressive theory calls on administrators to make autonomous ethical and political judgments as opposed to restricting themselves to the instrumental application of statutory mandates. Such judgments are to respond to a diffuse process of deliberative engagement with the public. This review essay expounds the Progressive theory and discusses its relevance for administrative law debates in Canada. It closes with consideration of an important challenge to the theory – namely, whether it relies on an overly comprehensive conception of democracy.

Architecture of Alienation

Dorita Hannah · IDEA JOURNAL · 2019

This paper approaches the emergence, over the 20th century, of a public architecture that occupies sights/sites once associated with industry and social alienation, in this case the conversion of London’s Bankside Power Station into the Tate Modern Art Museum. Utilising Bertolt Brecht’s revolutionary theories on performance, the celebrated architecture of Herzog and De Meuron is investigated alongside ‘Double Bind’, an installation by the late Spanish artist Juan Mun?oz whose work highlights the quality of isolation in the contemporary metropolis. In investigating architecture and installation, a space is opened up between the art and architecture revealing a performativity that engages with 20th century trauma and the crisis of the modern. This spatial dynamic forms an architecture of alienation where the participants are estranged from the environment, rendering them strangers, even within familiar environments ... tourists in their own land.

Centralism and alienation

Wolé Soyinka · International Social Science Journal · 2001

I see the fundamental nature of the question before us ‐ for the African continent at least ‐ as being how to effect an internal harmonisation of seeming irreconcilable elements within national entities, how to reconcile peoples of distinct histories with the consequences of colonial arbitrariness and the timidity, the lack of will, the failure of the first‐generation leaders to boldly tackle the fault‐lines of a continent that often run along the boundaries that have been inherited.

Sympathy and Alienation

Thomas E. Jenkins · 1997

Abstract Where neoclassical theists pictured God as having a mind (in Park’s words) “free from the complexities and discrepancies that mar our character,” sentimental incarnationalists brought God down to earth in the form of Christ and made him more accessible. And this, at its most dramatic, led to some tension in Christ’s mind. The tension involved the mixing of high and low, God and human; it involved a drama of an eternal, perfect being allowing himself to become involved in the plight of sinful beings. Harriet Beecher Stowe took this dramatic element of sentimental incarnationalism very far.

Alienation and Communism

David Miller · 1990

Abstract Socialists have attacked market economies on the grounds that they create personal relationships that are alienating rather than communal. Taking Marx's theory of alienation as its main point of reference, the chapter explores various possible sources of alienation, isolating those that are specific to the market. However, Marx also praised capitalism for freeing individuals from the social engulfment they had experienced in pre‐capitalist societies. The challenge for those who follow him is to show how individuality can be preserved in a communist society. In market socialism, economic relations can take on a double character—instrumental, competitive, and spontaneous at one level, ‘human’, co‐operative, and planned at the second—and thus overcome alienation.

from Alienation Effects

Gregory Pardlo · Ploughshares · 2012

In hospital I convalesced and read the melodrama presented in Le Figaro : On the morning of 16 November, it is alleged, Professor of Philosophy Louis Althusser strangled his wife during what has been ruled a psychotic break. I am not psychotic, though I have indeed killed my wife. She is dead, .it s true. Not scuttling between trap doors beneath the stage to reappear to the amazement of my audience. I realize people need explanations. We want the sleight of hand revealed. We want to rationalize, which is a dress rehearsal for justice, that primal illusion.

Antagonism or alienation?

Sofia Anceau Helander · Edinburgh University Press eBooks · 2024

The chapter critically examines Chantal Mouffe’s theories of radical and agonistic democracy, focusing on their underlying conception of the subject. What prevents Mouffe’s radical democracy from including a theory of alienation – and why is that a problem? The chapter argues that radical democracy, aiming at the open and radical mobilization of marginalized groups, should be particularly able to address marginalization in the form of alienation. However, it cannot. Its concepts of lack, antagonism and hegemony, although initially promising, cannot capture the problem of alienation. Instead, precisely in its exclusive focus on antagonism, radical democracy comes to rely on a conception of the subject that, under conditions of alienation, becomes insufficient. It assumes the subject to be naturally flexible, strong and conflict-seeking. The subject thus conceived is perfectly suited to ‘flourish in the midst of dislocation’, to straddle today’s conditions of precarity. As a result, radical democracy comes to exclude those who experience marginalization in the form of alienation. Radical democracy is thus left with a challenge: to find a subject who can be both open and radical, but who is also capable of experiencing alienation.
