Article: Democracy and Minimal Politics: The Political Difference and Its Consequences
Just published: Oliver Marchart (University of Lucerne), "Democracy and Minimal Politics: The Political Difference and Its Consequences" ("South Atlantic Quarterly", 110 [4], fall 2011: pp. 965-73).
Quote: "First, democracy as a regime in which the absence of any ultimate ground of the social is accepted has to be defended against the 'new antidemocrats' (such as Slavoj Žižek, Alain Badiou, or the Invisible Committee). ... Second, a notion of 'minimal politics' has to be developed in order to counter recurring fantasies of 'grand politics,' that is, of an ultimate revolutionary break or a decisive political act."
