What role does space play for politics? And what does a 'democratic space' look like? In this paper, out now in @spaceandpolity.bsky.social , I look at how the work of Jean-Luc Nancy might help us understand those questions: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Spaced out: thinking political space with Jean-Luc Nancy
Acknowledging the attention already devoted to the politics of space, in this paper I formulate a different angle towards political space by drawing on Jean-Luc Nancy’s relational ontology. Thinkin...

Vorige week sprak ik samen met Luuk de Boer bij Radboud Reflects over soevereinen: wie zijn ze, wat motiveert ze, en wat zegt het over een democratische rechtsstaat en de legitimiteit van macht dat de populariteit van dit gedachtegoed toeneemt? Kijk het hier terug: www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhp9...

What happens if constitutions, as indispensable protections of democracy, themselves threaten to stifle democracy? In this new paper in @globcon.bsky.social I draw primarily on the work of Claude Lefort and Martin Loughlin to address that question. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

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. Read it here: doi.org/10.21827/kri...

STATEMENT WOinACTIE De deal die CDA, CU, JA21 en SGP met Geert Wilders sluiten, is volstrekt onacceptabel en verwerpelijk. De onderwijsbezuinigingen zijn funest voor universiteiten, steden, regio’s en uiteindelijk voor heel Nederland. Dat zeggen tal van maatschappelijke partners met ons. 1/
