Résumé:
In Undoing the Demos, Wendy Brown explains how democracy itself is imperiled. The demos disintegrates into bits of human capital; concerns with justice bow to the mandates of growth rates, credit ratings, and investment climates; liberty submits to the imperative of human capital appreciation; equality dissolves into market competition; and popular sovereignty grows incoherent. Liberal democratic practices may not survive these transformations. Radical democratic dreams may not either.

Résumé:
Le néolibéralisme ne doit pas être conçu comme une doctrine ou une politique économique, mais comme une logique ou une rationalité qui s'est progressivement emparée des États. Son mode opératoire consiste à introduire partout les valeurs du marché pour transformer toute chose et tout être en entité économique. Alors que le libéralisme traditionnel définissait un domaine(...)

Résumé:
Le néolibéralisme ne doit pas être conçu comme une doctrine ou une politique économique, mais comme une logique ou une rationalité qui s'est progressivement emparée des États. Son mode opératoire consiste à introduire partout les valeurs du marché pour transformer toute chose et tout être en entité économique. Alors que le libéralisme traditionnel définissait un domaine propre de l'économie de marché, le néolibéralisme tend vers l'économisation intégrale de la vie. Wendy Brown l'illustre brillamment en étudiant, par exemple, les récentes transformations du droit et du secteur éducatif. Repartant des cours pionniers de Michel Foucault, elle montre comment la rationalité néolibérale implique une transformation de la politique en gouvernance et des citoyens en capital humain financiarisé. Ainsi cette dernière menace-t-elle les fondements du projet démocratique et l'idéal d'un gouvernement du peuple par lui-même.

Résumé:
Why do walls marking national boundaries proliferate amid widespread proclamations of global connectedness and despite anticipation of a world without borders? Why are barricades built of concrete, steel, and barbed wire when threats to the nation today are so often miniaturized, vaporous, clandestine, dispersed, or networked? In "Walled states, waning sovereignty", Wendy(...)

Résumé:
Why do walls marking national boundaries proliferate amid widespread proclamations of global connectedness and despite anticipation of a world without borders? Why are barricades built of concrete, steel, and barbed wire when threats to the nation today are so often miniaturized, vaporous, clandestine, dispersed, or networked? In "Walled states, waning sovereignty", Wendy Brown considers the recent spate of wall building in contrast to the erosion of nation-state sovereignty. Drawing on classical and contemporary political theories of state sovereignty in order to understand how state power and national identity persist amid its decline, Brown considers both the need of the state for legitimacy and the popular desires that incite the contemporary building of walls. The new walls—dividing Texas from Mexico, Israel from Palestine, South Africa from Zimbabwe—consecrate the broken boundaries they would seem to contest and signify the ungovernability of a range of forces unleashed by globalization. Yet these same walls often amount to little more than theatrical props, frequently breached, and blur the distinction between law and lawlessness that they are intended to represent. But if today’s walls fail to resolve the conflicts between globalization and national identity, they nonetheless project a stark image of sovereign power. Walls, Brown argues, address human desires for containment and protection in a world increasingly without these provisions. Walls respond to the wish for horizons even as horizons are vanquished.
