InterCcECT exhorts you to mark your calendars and open your books: two upcoming events will focus on questions of the state in our time. First, an InterCcECT reading group on Wendy Brown’s Walled States, Waning Sovereignty, in which the renowned feminist political theorist tackles the paradox of proliferating walls in an era of eroding nation-statehood. Second, a companion reading group convened by UIC’s Forum for Research on Law, Politics, & the Humanities, on Democracy In What State?, a recent volume from Columbia University Press that includes reflections by Wendy Brown, Badiou, Ranciere, Zizek, Nancy, Agamben, and Kristin Ross.
We’ll open our doors for Walled States on Tuesday, 23 August, 4pm. The FRLPH group meets Wednesday, 5 October, 3pm, UIC Institute for the Humanities.
