Dear Colleagues,
Genealogy is
now accepting submissions for a Special Issue on the theme, “Political
Genealogy After Foucault.” Inspired by the work of Michel Foucault, this
issue invites essays from scholars employing political genealogy as a
methodology and model of theoretical inquiry representing a wide range
of disciplines, from the social sciences to the humanities, from
philosophy to geography to urban studies to cultural theory. The goal of
this special issue is to publish some of the best and most current work
in political genealogy, showing how this work invites us to rethink
many of the key concepts in political theory as well as real
ground-level political practice. Broadly conceived, the editorial team
is interested in articles which demonstrate how political genealogy
helps us to understand what Foucault calls “the history of our present,”
while at the same time looking to our future, to what being a political
subject will look like in a post-representational world.
Some of the topics that would be appropriate for this special issue include but are not limited to:
- How and in what ways political genealogy aims, in the words of Nikolas Rose, “to reshape and expand the terms of political debate, enabling different questions to be asked, enlarging the space of legitimate contestation.”
- Genealogies of cosmopolitanism and post-national identity.
- Counter-memory as an instrument of political freedom.
- Genealogy as a method for understanding the new world order (with respect to, for example, globalization, Trumpism, Brexit, neo-populism, the rise of terrorism).
- Re-thinking, through genealogy, the politics of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation and/or gender identity.
- Genealogy and neo-liberalism; genealogy and corporatocracy.
- Genealogy in practice, with respect to, for example, how governmentality and its institutions affect the lives of real individuals.
