Abstract
Abstract: This essay explores how the figure of the good citizen might be reimagined in terms of a citizen-subjectivity that is up to the demands of our times (neoliberalism, climate apocalypse, and rising authoritarianism). Theorizing “citizen-subjectivity” as a way-of-seeing-and-being in power/knowledge relations, we engage recent work by Donna Haraway and William Connolly to explore potential figures of radical citizen-subjectivity, focusing on the figure of “the scout.” In conversation with Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Grrrrl Scouts and honey bee scouts, we argue for the need to tell tales of the body politic differently, in form, content, and cast of characters.
期刊介绍:
The research on discrete event dynamic systems (DEDSs) is multi-disciplinary in nature and its development has been dynamic. Examples of DEDSs include manufacturing plants, communication networks, computer systems, management information databases, logistics systems, command-control-communication systems, robotics, and other man-made operational systems. The state processes of such systems cannot be described by differential equations in general. The aim of this journal, Discrete Event Dynamic Systems: Theory and Applications, is to publish high-quality, peer-reviewed papers on the modeling and control of, and all other aspects related to, DEDSs. In particular, the journal publishes papers dealing with general theories and methodologies of DEDSs and their applications to any particular subject, including hybrid systems, as well as papers discussing practical problems from which some generally applicable DEDS theories or methodologies can be formulated; The scope of this journal is defined by its emphasis on discrete events and the dynamic nature of the systems and on their modeling, control and optimization.
