>Polity: 2005"
>Volume 2, Summer 2005.
What is at stake in Polity? Is Polity as we know and live it a diverse and
inclusive endeavor and structure, or perhaps, is it that Polity as we know
it is largely a non-recombinative and exclusionary device? Is Polity an
issue? Or has Polity been decided? Is Polity undecidable?
How do we check and balance a networked Polity that perhaps,
refuses to reconcile and balance its differences, instead functioning on
imbalance and withholding? What might be needed for balance? In the U.S.--
a Fox News of the Left? Or, a new branch of governance, as Ethan Leib has
proposed? Is egalitarian Polity the goal, or are there other sorts of
Polity that we seek to cultivate?
How important is the media in the structure and execution of
Polity? Does Polity still matter, or is Polity ossified, and simply a
matter of aristocratic maintenance and reproduction? Is Polity still
conflicted, if not conflated with Deity? Is Polity merely a function of
Capital? Does Culture inhibit egalitarian Polity? What are the
relationships between Polity, the State and Aristocracy? Is Global Polity
desirable or homogenizing?
All contributions that hold Polity as their central concern are welcome.
