Jean-Luc Nancy, Jacques Rancière, Gianni Vattimo, Slavoj Zizek all participated at the conference “On the Idea of Communism.” For those of us who sadly missed it, Monthly Review has a good recap of links. If you know of more, please post them in the comments! (See also the lacan.com article)

Krisis 2008, Issue 3

Farhang Erfani — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 23:27:39 +0000

This year it is exactly 60 years since the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Krisis’ new issue is therefore dedicated to philosophy and human rights. Regina Kreide, Ernst van den Hemel and Marc de Wilde write about a wide range of philosophical issues connected with human rights, and Thomas Poell and Sudeep Dasgupta review two recent publications about human rights.

Ernst van den Hemel: ‘Included but not Belonging. Badiou and Rancière on Human Rights’.
In this article the standpoints on Human Rights by two contemporary French philosophers, Alain Badiou and Jacques Rancière are explored. Their criticalreading of the project of Human Rights moves away from the reading that we can see in the work of Hannah Arendt and Giorgio Agamben.Instead both Badiou and Rancière offer a critical version of Human Rights thatcan be subsumed under the phrase ‘included but not belonging’. Theirinterventions on Human Rights reveal, besides important similarities,significant differences. For Badiou, notions likehuman rights, and democracy, should be rejected altogether, whereas Rancièrestill sees critical potential for both the project of human rights and democracy.This difference can be attributed to the divergent notions of truth that thetwo philosophers apply. The article ends with a sketch of the critical andmilitant potential of the work of these two theorists.

Regina Kreide: ‘Power and Powerlessness of Human Rights. The International Discourse on Human Rights’.
The goal of this article is to reconstruct the arguments brought forward in international political discourse and political theory discourse, and to present a suggestion for the conditions of a context-sensible foundation and juridification of human rights. In this course neither the objections of opponents of a universalistic human rights conception are overlooked, nor claims to universally valid human rights, equally effective for all humans, are given up.

Krisis

Farhang Erfani — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 03:31:17 +0000

This is the first bilingual online edition of Krisis, journal for contemporary philosophy, after having appeared in print, and in Dutch, for 27 years. We present contributions to four debates. Menno Hurenkamp and Jan-Willem Duyvendak reflect on the question how we can think ‘community’ in today’s Netherlands.

Further, Krisis dedicates a ‘file’ to the recent book of Veit Bader, Secularism or Democracy; Associational Governance of Religious Diversity. He defends the thesis that secularism is not a condition of liberalism and democracy, as many contemporary defenders of ‘The Enlightenment’ contend. Instead, secularism may even partly stand in the way of liberal democracy. After a short introduction to the book by Bader, three critics (Anders Berg-Sørensen, Irena Rosenthal and Anton van Harskamp) present their responses to the book, and Bader replies.

We also publish two pieces by Josef Früchtl and Mieke Bal that formed the basis for a by now rather legendary debate held in March this year about the relation between philosophy and cultural analysis.

Finally, we publish an interview with Jacques Rancière, a representant of the generation of 1968 whose recent rethinking of the relation between aesthetics and politics appears to have revived the relationship between this old couple. Lastly, impressions and reviews. Reactions are welcome at info@krisis.eu.
