{"title":"Contemporary Political Adventures of Meaning: What Is Hegemony?","authors":"Catherine Malabou","doi":"10.1086/726295","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1086/726295","url":null,"abstract":"This article, originally delivered as a lecture at the University of Chicago, is a critical reading of Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe’s Hegemony and Socialist Strategy: Towards a Radical Democratic Politics. Following Antonio Gramsci, their book reverses the meaning of the term hegemony. The traditional use of the term (for military or political leadership) shifts and gives birth to a new signification. Hegemony currently designates a privilege but a discursive one only. It is the privilege conferred to a certain word or category serving as a unifying symbol for different and even heterogeneous forms of political resistance. Hegemony thus understood retains an idea of direction but without any dominating intention. It just orients multiple revolt movements without reducing their differences. Such a unifying symbol appears as a specific signifier devoid of any content or reference, thus ready to bear any contextual meaning. Does this new understanding of hegemony succeed in providing a nondogmatic and nonbinding process of unification, or does it secretely reinstall the logic of commandment?","PeriodicalId":48130,"journal":{"name":"Critical Inquiry","volume":"50 1","pages":"54 - 66"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46532781","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Clune","doi":"10.1086/726273","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1086/726273","url":null,"abstract":"The twentieth century evolved several ways of treating literary authorship in terms of an object rather than a subject. One tradition, derived more or less distantly from late nineteenth century symbolism, identifies the source of authorship with the medium, the tradition, or language itself. Exponents of this view include writers as different as T. S. Eliot, Martin Heidegger, and Paul De Man. A second tradition, associated most closely with Michel Foucault, understands authorship in terms of impersonal social structures. Both of these traditions move the question of authorship from subject to object by bypassing the experience of the writer. I outline a third tradition, one that locates the movement from who to what within the experience of authorship itself. I enumerate key features of this model of authorship—which represents a revision of the classical concept of inspiration—through close readings of poems by Sylvia Plath and Jorie Graham.","PeriodicalId":48130,"journal":{"name":"Critical Inquiry","volume":"50 1","pages":"118 - 136"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41352543","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":":<i>The Politics of Art: Dissent and Cultural Diplomacy in Lebanon, Palestine, and Jordan</i>","authors":"Maysoon Shibi","doi":"10.1086/726296","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1086/726296","url":null,"abstract":"shaped contemporary Beirut. Visions of Beirut builds a compelling case for its detailed study of images, media, and the city of Beirut. The book makes two important contributions to the study of media in the Middle East. First, it provides a provocative theory of concealment to understand the relationship between images and absences. This line of thinking extends broader discussions in media studies that have attempted to understand the politics of visibility. Second, in Visions of Beirut El-Hibri takes a sweeping view of media, examining everything from photographs to maps to television to cinema to billboards to museums. Studies of media in the Arab world often have been confined to a limited number of technologies and forms. I hope that Visions of Beirut will serve as an invitation for more scholars of the Middle East to analyze a wide range of media, including objects that may not seem like media at first glance. It is only natural that a book as ambitious as Visions of Beirut leaves something minor to be desired. In this case, I had hoped the book would deliver more on its subtitle: The Urban Life of Media Infrastructure. Although El-Hibri claims an infrastructural approach, there could have been a more systematic attempt to understand Beirut’s media infrastructure, including fiberoptic cables, satellite dishes, electrical grids, antennas, and cellphone towers. He depends, for example, on Brian Larkin’s oft-cited definition of infrastructure as “matter that enable the movement of other matter” (5). Yet the two ideas at the heart of this definition—materiality and circulation—do not figure prominently in the book. Thinking about how media as lived, material objects have helped shape Beirut would have been an interesting addition. Ultimately, Visions of Beirut offers a lot to its readers. It will be of great interest to scholars of global media, Middle Eastern studies, and urban studies and will make an excellent addition to many graduate-level syllabi. I have already begun imagining how I can use it in my own graduate teaching at the American University of Beirut. One thing is certain, Visions of Beirut has changed how I see the city that I have called home for the better part of a decade.","PeriodicalId":48130,"journal":{"name":"Critical Inquiry","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135150064","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
