O knihe

My book is a research monograph in political philosophy from a continental philosophical perspective. The book aims to think beyond the Habermasian paradigm of deliberative democracy to think about the concept of political subjectivity and the sovereign 'people' in new ways. Specifically, the book focuses on the emergent and unstable determination of 'the people and the ways in which unruly political speech is able to make 'the people' appear differently. But at the same time, the book investigates ways in which similar disruptive (and potentially emancipatory) processes are achieved not through speech but through silence or mute action, such as Rosa Park's refusal to give up her seat on the segregated bus in Montgomery, Alabama. To develop this line of thinking, the book draws together insights and concepts from a range of thinkers, notably Derrida, Lyotard, Spivak, Rancière and Butler. Another intention in the following book is to supplement the speech-act theory developed by Austin, Searle, Habermas and Derrida with a study of acts of speech in a political context.
