Two major new articles from RGCS alum Mary Jo MacDonald @maryjomacdonald.bsky.social BA '17, now Assistant Professor of Political Theory at Mount Allison University “Marriage as Slavery: Oroonoko, the Slave Trade, and the Origins of English Feminism." APSR doi.org/10.1017/S000... 1/2
Abstract
This article investigates Mary Astell’s controversial comparison of marriage to slavery. While existing scholarship situates this analogy within the neo-Roman republican framework, which defined slavery as subjection to absolute rule, I investigate another paradigm: the transatlantic slave trade. To make this case, the article traces the influence of Aphra Behn’s Oroonoko (1688) on early feminist thought. By foregrounding the market logic underpinning chattel slavery, Behn popularized the idea that slavery’s harms were rooted, not in absolute power, but in the commodification of human beings. Astell appropriated this insight, showing that marriage resembled slavery not because husbands wielded power over wives but because the institution had been commodified: women were treated as things to be bought and sold. In uncovering this genealogy of feminist thought, the article highlights the enduring contributions of the “first” English feminists—insights that are entangled with, and shaped by, the development of the slave trade.

New article in the journal "Belonging" from former RGCS postdoc Agnes Tam, now Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University of Calgary, coauthored with Martin Wagner: Local Legends: Narrating Everyday Belonging in Shared Places of Wonder journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...


Local Legends: Narrating Everyday Belonging in Shared Places of Wonder

Abstract:

Abstract
Many today feel like strangers where they live. We call this overlooked facet of non-belonging estrangement, distinct from loneliness. Bridging insights from political philosophy and literary studies, this paper offers a conceptualization of estrangement and explores a novel remedy. We identify two influential normative models in political philosophy and show why both are wanting. The Inclusion Model, defended by liberal-egalitarians and neo-republicans, treats belonging as formal citizenship; but recent empirical research, such as that on affective citizenship, shows that formal inclusion does not fend off estrangement. The Rootedness Model, defended by communitarians and liberal nationalists, is right that estrangement calls for roots; but its narrative tool—grand national epics with their long temporal arc, grand telos, and heroic roles—excludes not only immigrants and minorities, but also long-standing residents whose banal, fluid lives find no place in the epic. In a novel attempt to plant inclusive roots, we reappropriate the Grimms’ German Legends as an alternative narrative tool of local belonging. In contrast to national epics, we argue that the narrative form of local legends—(a) centered around shared place rather than shared history, (b) rooted in the present rather than the past or future, (c) oriented toward everyday miracles rather than grand political epics, and (d) featuring bottom-up multi-versional narration rather than top-down unified narration—is well suited to modern lives in diverse, banal, and fluid societies. We conclude by drawing out the practical implications of an everyday belonging rooted in a shared place of wonder.

Major new article from RGCS PhD student @samantha_puzzi Samantha Puzzi, available First View in @poppublicsphere.bsky.social , one of the leading journals in the discipline: "The Right to the Campus: Student Occupations, the University, and the Right to the City" www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

"The Right to the Campus: Student Occupations, the University, and the Right to the City"

Abstract
While the 2024 Gaza solidarity encampments and campus occupations before them have been the objects of significant debate among academics and broader public audiences, the spatialized and radical democratic dimensions of these protests remain undertheorized. This article argues that turning to Henri Lefebvre provides valuable tools for better understanding campus occupations and answering the questions that universities face today. Grounded in Lefebvre’s comments about students, knowledge production, and campus life following May 1968, I argue that the university is a key site for demanding, clarifying, and expanding the “right to the city.” Extending Lefebvre’s analysis through a discussion of the spatial production activities of contemporary elite North American universities, I propose a novel “right to the campus” defined by radical democratization of university governance and use-driven spatial design. Finally, I draw lessons from the 1968 Columbia University occupations before applying the right to the campus to analyze the successes and disappointments of the more recent wave of encampments. Viewed through this framework, campus occupations posit control over university “property” as a mechanism for challenging the undemocratic management and market logic characterizing both campus spaces and university activities off campus.

New from RGCS postdoc @alexisbibeau.bsky.social Alexis Bibeau-Gagnon, Alexandre Pelletier, Hubert Cadieux, and Yannick Dufresne in @cjps-rcsp.bsky.social "Who Endorses Environmental Activism? Understanding Public Tolerance for Radical Environmental Action in Canada" doi.org/10.1017/S000...
Abstract
State inaction and the escalating threat of climate change have led groups within the environmental movement to adopt more radical political tactics such as sabotage, vandalism and road blockades. How do citizens view such radical actions, and what determines their tolerance for them? Using survey data measuring environmental preoccupation, attribution of responsibility for climate change and attitudes toward thirteen contestation methods, this article maps the structure of public attitudes toward radical environmental activism. The results are threefold. First, tolerance has a clear threshold: citizens tolerate peaceful actions, are ambivalent toward disruptive tactics, and reject destructive and violent ones. Second, environmental preoccupation increases tolerance for nonviolent disruption but not for destructive or violent methods. Third, tolerance for radical tactics depends on whether respondents blame governments, corporations, or individuals for climate change. The article shows how responsibility attribution shapes legitimacy judgments about activism and underscores the limits of disruptive contestation in democracies.

RGCS faculty member Yann Allard-Tremblay's book _Disjunctures: Indigenous Redirections in Political Theory_ (Oxford) has been shortlisted for the Canadian Political Science Association's CB Macpherson Prize for the best book in political theory.
Citation:

Disjunctures starts from the premise that a way of living and sharing the land must be found. Allard-Tremblay launches that journey by following the irreconcilable differences between
Indigenous and Euro-modern political thought and traditions. These disjunctures, AllardTremblay argues, represent distinct paths to be followed in response to the zones of friction between traditions. Through its clear and demanding argument, Disjunctures asks its readers to confront those differences, and makes a compelling case for redirecting political theories of reconciliation through Indigenous systems and decolonization.

Disjunctures part du principe qu’il faut trouver une manière de vivre et de partager la terre. L’auteur entame ce parcours en explorant les divergences irréconciliables entre la pensée
politique et les traditions autochtones et euro-modernes. Selon lui, ces disjonctions représentent des voies distinctes à suivre en réponse aux zones de friction entre ces traditions. D’une grande clarté et d’une rigueur exemplaire, cet ouvrage invite les lecteurs à se confronter à ces différences et présente des arguments convaincants en faveur d’une réorientation des théories politiques de la réconciliation par le biais des systèmes autochtones et de la décolonisation.

New article from RGCS PhD student Samantha Puzzi (Political Science), in Memory Studies "Monumental Empowerment: The vandalism of public mnemonic objects" journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

"Monumental Empowerment: The vandalism of public mnemonic objects"

Abstract
This article develops a novel approach for defending the vandalism of ‘tainted’ monuments by appealing to democratic process. Through the framework of symbolic power, and with a focus on deliberative processes of ‘collective authorization’, the article makes three central claims. First, I argue that public mnemonic objects that are improperly authorized result in the symbolic powerlessness of those excluded. Second, I argue that this powerlessness survives when collectives fail to re-authorize their mnemonic objects. As such, I redefine ‘tainted’ commemorations with reference to procedure and not merely problematic content. Third, I defend the vandalism of tainted commemorations as assertions of symbolic empowerment, or full participation in symbolic design, for groups facing historical and ongoing marginalization. Together, these arguments explore how the failure of narrow and/or top-down processes of monument authorization and their objectification in the memory landscape redirect unfulfilled democratic participation to the physical, built realm.
