Glad that our interview with @danielloick.bsky.social is now published in English by @krisisjournal.bsky.social. Daniel's reflections on the abolitionist politics of counter-communities are persuasive, inspiring and pertinently relevant. Do read his book!

In particular, we appreciate financially compensating a layouter professional copy editor in order to guarantee the quality of our publication. Even the smallest donations are greatly appreciated. The board of editors does not get financially compensated. (17/18)

However, we still need more support to ensure the future of our journal: Another €1500 in annual donations would ensure the financial viability of publishing two issues per year in the long term. (16/18)

Financial support still needed!

We are extremely grateful to the sixteen new donors who have kindly agreed to support Krisis, either on an annual basis or with a one-off donation. With the support of our existing and new donors, we will be able to continue publishing this year. (15/18)

Van Hulzen argues that, in doing so, Jaeggi too easily steps over the troubling legacy of progress as a Western-imperialist ideal, as well as the abstract domination that global capitalism continues to exert. (14/18)

progress “processually” as relative to a community’s self-learning and problem-solving capacities (which always includes the possibility of regression as well). (13/18)

(including fascist) movements, Mees van Hulzen reviews Rahel Jaeggi’s Fortschritt und Regression (2023), whose English translation is forthcoming.

Alexander Aerts reviews Alberto Toscano’s Late Fascism (2023).

https://krisis.eu/article/view/41338

He praises Toscano’s attempt to rethink the fascist problematic (including its historical relation to racial capitalism) and liberate it from simplistic historical analogies, but finds (10/18)

The experiences and actions of marginalized groups harbor important insights and transformative perspectives for anti-capitalist political thought that are not yet sufficiently taken into account.

In an interview conducted by Tivadar Vervoort (@tivadarvervoort.net) and Lietje Bauwens with Daniel Loick (@danielloick.bsky.social), focusing on his newest book, Die Überlegenheit der Unterlegenen, Loick elaborates his standpoint-theoretical approach to the concept of surplus populations. (8/18)

Combining neurodiversity studies and the critical philosophy of mathematics, Kather shows how the gendered and racialized implications of Autism discourse often still enact epistemic violence today.

In the article “Constructing Autism: Norming Thought through Math, Masculinity, Whiteness and Fascism,” Cara-Julie Kather discusses the epistemic afterlife of the emergence of Autism as a diagnostic concept during the period of National Socialism in Vienna. (6/18)

Van Asseldonk suggests that this riddle can be solved by arguing that claims of democratic peoplehood can be best understood as prefigurative. The people exist only if and when agents act as though it does. (5/18)

In the article “Democracy without Demos: A Prefigurative Approach to Democratic Peoplehood,” Maxim van Asseldonk (@maxim-v-asseldonk.bsky.social) solves the riddle of how the demos can act if it does not exist.

Taken together, these contributions shed light on the current state of our social world and attempt to offer theoretical insights with which to make sense of what is happening around us, to interpret social reality in order to change it. (3/18)

The themes of the various contributions to our newest issue testify to our commitment to contemporary philosophy, tackling questions around democracy, political agency, epistemic violence, abolitionism, racial capitalism, the return of fascistoid politics, and progress and regression. (2/18)

New publication!

In this article, new in @krisisjournal.bsky.social I address the idea that 'the demos' does not exist as a distinct entity. To sustain its legitimising role in democratic theory, I propose viewing the demos as a prefigurative concept.

Beste lezers van Krisis,
