It is the denial of such respectability politics by Black Lives Matter that makes it politically contentious today. BLM represents a space of disordered appearance that seems to block democratic mourning (at least among white publics), yet in discussing 9/11 Pool also shows how the failure to appear can lead to sovereign mourning. In depicting 9/11 as an attack on the Twin Towers, the buildings “eclipsed the bodies of the victims so completely that human deaths became practically invisible” (104). The bodies that did appear before the public were of “those with access to the media: primarily government and military officials” (112). While it is clear that appearance plays an important role in Pool’s model, more could be done to investigate the ways that deaths are made to appear or disappear, particularly when large-scale tragedies like climate change are at issue. Of course, such an investigation leads to a more pessimistic account of the possibilities for democratic mourning today. Pool ends her book by taking stock of the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. While COVID deaths are widespread, they are not yet public in ways that have motivated democratic debate and responsibility. Pool provides an excellent framework for thinking about the fact that these deaths occur both as a global tragedy and as a personal loss but do not yet seem to have any democratic political impact. Using Pool’s framework, we can think about the hiding away of bodies killed by COVID, the failure to hold employers legally responsible for COVID safety protocols, and the mass denial of the existence of COVID by certain white publics. Pool’s Political Mourning provides a model for analyzing our contemporary politics of mass death and for answering the important question of how we might transform a lack of care into a democratic act of mourning.","PeriodicalId":43886,"journal":{"name":"Law Culture and the Humanities","volume":"18 1","pages":"791 - 794"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46732661","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Walia ends the chapter by suggesting, “The challenge now before the cultural studies programme is to step outside theory in order to promote decisive action to dismantle the culture of domination and forge a new path ahead” (183). Humanities at the Crossroads may be described as an impassioned defense of an emancipatory project. While Walia persuasively makes a case for the revival of a socialist vision and politics, he spares no thought to account for the waning of socialism the world over. However, the recent victory of Social Convergence in presidential election in Chile lends credence to his stand and arguments. Still, the main contribution of the book lies in raising some fundamental issues confronting contemporary world society and making a heartfelt argument for the revival of the humanities, assigning them an essential role in ethical theorization. The book also advocates for bringing together theory and praxis for a more progressive politics. Though the book makes for smooth reading, unencumbered by too many notes and references, it may disappoint the reader who is looking for well-developed arguments. Nevertheless, overall, Humanities at the Crossroads is useful and rewarding for students and scholars of humanities and social sciences.","PeriodicalId":43886,"journal":{"name":"Law Culture and the Humanities","volume":"18 1","pages":"521 - 523"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48666349","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Engaging with the work of Bennett would have only, as I see it, enhanced DeBrabander’s critical treatment of privacy. Second, I found the crescendo of the argument a little disappointing. This ground has already been covered. For example, in Emergent Publics: An Essay on Social Movements and Democracy (Arbeiter Ring, 2001), Ian Angus writes about critical publics or emergent publics, and the importance of public life and public interest in the public sphere. DeBrabander does not take these ideas further. Instead, he offers a convoluted set of claims about democracy in the digital age, similar to those that some scholars drawing from Habermas have offered in the last two decades. Thus, how to make the digital sphere a place of deliberation rather than hate and disinformation is not a question the book answers in any meaningful way. Third, no other alternatives or new concepts are offered. For instance, in Radical Secrecy: The Ends of Transparency in Datafied America (University of Minnesota Press, 2021), Clare Birchall argues we should reject the notion of privacy as well as transparency. What is needed for social and political change, she claims, is an embracing of radical secrecy. I have my own problems with Birchall’s argument and how tenable cutting one’s self off from data and information is. However, at least some kind of alternative is proposed. At the end of the day, I am not sure what DeBrabander’s alternative is other than pointing back to digital democracy and the importance of the public sphere. Nonetheless, these are important discussions and ideas for navigating surveillance, privacy, and politics today. DeBrabander summarizes them well. For that reason, the book should be widely read in political science, sociology, surveillance studies, privacy studies, and beyond.","PeriodicalId":43886,"journal":{"name":"Law Culture and the Humanities","volume":"18 1","pages":"519 - 521"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48762064","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
