<nettime> CFP: "Global Polity: 2005" |
special issue--"Global Polity: 2005" >Kritikos: an international and interdisciplinary journal of postmodern >cultural sound, text and image (ISSN 1552-5112), > >http://garnet.acns.fsu.edu/~nr03/ > >is currently accepting submissions for a special issue entitled "Global >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.
