ABSTRACT This essay argues for a politics constructed on a refined version of virtue ethics that is more radically democratic and thereby more directly concerned with imbalances and asymmetries of power. Beginning with a critique of MacIntyre's neo-Aristotelian account, I contend that he does not sufficiently tend to the full dynamic between rationality and power thereby occluding key democratic practices needed to counter the dominion of modern capitalism. While he offers the prospect of social protection and integration, his virtue ethics fails sufficiently to incorporate emancipatory movement, a problem I trace to his dismissal of Periclean isegoria and his truncated narrative of the oppression inherent to capitalism. Returning to this Periclean practice, I look to the example of Zapatista Kuxlejal politics to develop a virtue ethics that incorporates social integration with emancipation through receptive self-making in public narrative, collective governance in mutual obedience, and a participatory pedagogy of the collective good.

ABSTRACT From its emergence in early Christianity to its invocation in twenty-first century debates, martyrdom has always highlighted the complex relationship between politics, religion, death, and memory. A specifically political notion of martyrdom beyond the world's faith traditions would facilitate the concept’s more capacious application and analysis. Political martyrdom, I argue, consists of several components: (1) a death, occurring in what we might call “unnatural” circumstances, connected in some way to an individual’s identity(ies) or political commitments; (2) consecration of that death by a community or sub-community; and (3) transmission of accounts of that death across time, through processes of commemoration. This essay illuminates the ways by which political communities enshrine certain deaths in their collective memory, where they subsequently contribute to communal solidarity, identity formation, and political mobilization. I conclude by reflecting on how political martyrdom offers new insights into the intersection of politics, religion, death, and memory.

Shell-Shocked: Feminist Criticism After Trump features all the qualities that distinguish Bonnie Honig’s writing – sharp, rich analysis, served up with an immense helping of biting humor. Her texts nourish the imagination, reorient our thinking, and enable us to see anew what has been hiding in plain sight. This is a collection of “forensic and fabulistic work,” of close readings, scrutinizing minor details, and creatively forging “wild connections.” While the essays cover a diverse range of topics, each reflects back on the mechanisms and repercussions of “disaster patriarchy,” Honig’s feminist refinement of Naomi Klein’s account of “disaster capitalism” in The Shock Doctrine; its neglected misogynistic twin, if you will. Working in tandem, both serve to depoliticize through a double move of saturation and desensitization, a process akin to George W. Bush’s “shock and awe” approach to warfare. To further clarify the dynamics of disaster patriarchy, Honig employs domestic violence as an exemplar and a metaphor. The stages of DARVO (Deny, Attack, Reverse the positions of Victim and Offender) elucidate how the disorientation that Trump deployed (as abusive leader/man/husband/father) served to silence criticism, evade accountability, and thwart political action. Where Hannah Arendt insisted we must “think what we are doing,”Honig revises this imperative for our current moment: we must first understand what has been done to us. The essays in this volume delineate what we’ve endured, and then illuminate the sensory adjustments and collective paths to undoing it. Inspired by Honig’s intervention, and following her practice of feminist criticism, this essay endeavors to extend her insights by pulling on three entangled threads from Shell-Shocked on the themes of “ambigendering,” the gendered politics of vulnerability, and maternal politics.
《震惊:特朗普之后的女权主义批评》展现了邦妮·霍尼格作品的所有特点——犀利、丰富的分析,以及大量辛辣的幽默。她的文字滋养了想象力,重新定位了我们的思维,使我们能够重新看到隐藏在平淡无奇的东西。这是一本“法医和神话作品”的合集,通过仔细阅读,仔细审视小细节,创造性地建立了“狂野的联系”。虽然这些文章涵盖了各种各样的主题,但每篇文章都反映了“灾难父权制”的机制和影响,这是霍尼格对娜奥米·克莱恩(Naomi Klein)在《休克主义》(the Shock Doctrine)中对“灾难资本主义”的描述的女权主义改进;它是被忽视的厌女症孪生兄弟。两者协同工作,通过饱和和脱敏的双重行动来实现非政治化,这一过程类似于乔治·w·布什(George W. Bush)对战争的“震慑”方法。为了进一步阐明灾难父权制的动态,霍尼格将家庭暴力作为一个范例和隐喻。DARVO(否认、攻击、扭转受害者和罪犯的立场)的阶段阐明了特朗普(作为虐待型领导人/男人/丈夫/父亲)的迷失方向是如何压制批评、逃避责任和挫败政治行动的。汉娜·阿伦特(Hannah Arendt)坚持认为,我们必须“思考我们正在做什么”,而霍尼格为我们当前的时刻修改了这一命令:我们必须首先了解我们所做的事情。这本书中的文章描述了我们所忍受的,然后阐明了感官上的调整和消除它的集体途径。受霍尼格介入的启发,并遵循她的女权主义批评实践,这篇文章试图通过从《炮弹休克》中引出三条纠缠在一起的线索来扩展她的见解,这些线索分别是“歧义”、脆弱的性别政治和母性政治。

In the subfield of political theory, or in the hallways of its disciplinary home department political science, one does not speak of “the political critic” in the ways in which one speaks of literary critics or aesthetic criticism as professional research activities. Political science course offerings do not include “political criticism” as a topic, and newly graduated PhDs would likely not consider (or be advised to not consider) listing “political criticism” as an area of research expertise in their job applications. More notably, “criticism” is not part of the canon of concepts of theWestern tradition of political theory, essentially contested or otherwise. In the various handbooks and encyclopedia of political thought one has on hand one finds a compendium of topics qualified with the adjective “critical” (as in critical theory, or critical race theory, or critical realism) but not criticism or political criticism. Thankfully, Bonnie Honig is a different type of political theorist. Building on her scholarship in agonistic politics and radical democratic theory (one should say her “innovation” or “invention” of this field of research, as it hadn’t really concretized prior to her publishing Political Theory and the Displacement of Politics), Honig has in recent years given sustained attention to aesthetic questions that weigh upon issues of political theory, and more specifically still on the practices, activities, and media of political criticism. She is a political critic; more precisely she is a feminist political critic. She leans on ancient Greek women, on the modern (gothic) novel, and on contemporary cinema and television, to innovate practices of feminist political criticism that are not reducible to the gaslighting cant of the law of non-contradiction. Honig’s scholarship offers (among many things) a canon of feminist political criticism rooted in the conceit that political agonism pluralizes not just our politics, but our critical sensibilities such that an appeal to the presumed infallibility of non-contradiction as an apriori of critical thinking will always feel politically and aesthetically inadequate. Honig’s own critical dispositif, that I wish to unravel in these pages, is one of her major contributions – in her work more generally, but especially in Shell Shocked – because it offers an important insight about the relationship between women, politics, criticism, and authority: the epistemological privilege of the law of non-contradiction can’t work for feminist political criticism because women are a contradiction in a patriarchal world where gender is “an apparatus of power.”

Bonnie Honig ’ s book, Shell-Shocked: Feminist Criticism after Trump , is a sharp, urgent, and sophisticated critique of Trumpism ’ s many facets. But it is not any kind of critique: it is a feminist critique of Trumpism ’ s policies, gestures, a ff ects, and legacies. Suggestive in Honig ’ s book is the proposal of a speci fi c type of intense sensorial disposition that feminist criticism can work with and through; a kind of alternative epistemology of awareness where psychic stability and a sense of reality depend upon a heightened attention to detail. Attention to detail links the stories of public writing reunited and reworked in the book. Following the example of Penelope in Homer ’ s Odyssey , who promises to choose a “ suitor ” after fi nishing a shroud but gains time by weaving during the day and unweaving at night, Honig fi nds a loose thread in the fabric of the political and pulls, until the fabric comes undone. To undo the fabric of Trump ’ s macho populism, Honig returns to the female gothic perspective, a recurring motif in her work. In what follows, I would like to address the female gothic perspective in Shell-Shocked by focusing on three main themes: (1) the female gothic ’ s peculiar attentiveness to detail that sees things others cannot see, including ghosts (2) the link between the gothic genre, as such, political theology, and contemporary theoretical writing on the American presidency; (3) the (gothic) promise of feminist transnationalism in the Americas.
