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

Sun Jul 27 21:23:08 GMT 2008



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
Elaine Kelly

Democracy of the Civil Dead: The Blind Trade in Citizenship
Terry Eyssens

Judith Butler, Gender, Radical Democracy: What?s Lacking?
Julie MacKenzie

Democracy Now! Decolonising US News Media
Kevin Howley

GetUp! for what? Issues Driven Democracy in a Transforming Public Sphere
Henk Huijser & Janine Little

?Oriental Despotism? and the Democratisation of Iraq in The Australian
Benjamin Isakha
