Jodi
I loved your article in Parallax. Have you written further on your idea of the 'democratic drive'?

Randy--thanks! it's part of ongoing project. The other pieces tend to emphasize the drive part more than the democratic part (early drafts are in the papers on biopolitics and on the real internet that I've posted here in the last couple of months).

I like this highly original foray into 'democratic drive'. I hope others recognize what you're trying to do and don't bog it down in a rehash of old debates vis a vis 'democracy and the left.' The only other thing I've read recently approaching slightly your initiative has been something by Jason Glynos on "Ethics of the Drive". Glynos is out of Laclau's Essex School of Discourse Analysis. He along with David Howarth have written an interesting book Logics of Critical Explanation in Social and Political Theory (Routledge, 2007). I've written a synopsis of their argument if you are at all interested in what the Essex School is up to. keep up the good work!

Thanks, Randy. I've met Jason and have admired his work for a while now. Is the ethics of the drive piece a new one or is it one that is a few years old and about Zizek? I haven't kept up with what he's doing. I'd be very interested in reading your synopsis of their argument.

Ok I just sent it to you.

Hurray hurray Jodi finally someone is daring to go after that which has been used to cause great harm to the people of the world. Politics Without Politics will hopefully start a round of polemics on the subjsct of democracy. Suggest you may want to checkout stuff on Revcom.us
