Issue 5.4 of Theory & Event is now online. This is a special issue of
the journal, featuring a symposium regarding the events of September 11
and their aftermath. This extraordinary symposium, edited by Wendy Brown,
William Chaloupka, Thomas Dumm, and Paul Patton, includes contributions
by some of the most important theorists of contemporary political life
as well as exciting analyses from emerging thinkers.
Contributions to this issue feature a variety of historical and
theoretical perspectives on the events of fall 2001. The topical foci
also range from probing the meaning of jihad and contextualizing the World
Trade Center/Pentagon attacks within bids for hegemony in the Arab world, to
analyzing American state discourses of war and evil, and assessing the kind
of citizenship that is being configured by current American foreign policy.
The lack of univocality in this special issue makes it an excellent volume
for discussion and teaching.
The symposium features 17 essays, including "Untimely Reflections" by
European historian Arno Mayer, "Robert Fisk's Newspapers," by
Paris-based philosopher and journalist Michel Feher, "Brave New World"
by American political theorist Sheldon Wolin, "Explanation and
Exoneration, or What We Can Hear" by philosopher and social critic Judith
Butler, "The New Manicheans" by Islamacist and comparative political
theorist Roxanne Euben, and "The War of Networks" by international relations
theorist James der Derian.
