[ecrea] Transformations Issue 16: Democracy Under Fire now released

Transformations is pleased to announce the release of its latest issue -- no 16:


Democracy Under Fire: the uses and abuses of democracy in the public sphere.

This issue of Transformations concerns the idea of democracy and its uses and abuses in various contexts of public debate and analysis. Democracy is always more than an idea expressing the core values of liberty, equality and fraternity. It is also a discursive concept: a product of the way meaning is circulated, practiced, structured and embodied in human action and thought.

Articles include the following:


The War on English: An Answer to the Question, What is Postmodernism?
Niall Lucy & Steve Mickler

Democratic Hospitalities: national borders and the impossibility of the other for democracy
