Beschreibung
In Redescriptions, volume 11 (published in November 2007), several
articles take up the problems of historical and political time. They
analyse the rhetoric and the discourse of various modes of
conceptualising time, as well as its significance for political
practices. Another cluster of articles moves around the concepts of
democracy, representation and political liberty. In several cases, the
point of departure for the discussion lies in the current experience of
disappointment in the existing democratic practices. These articles both
analyse projects which confront the present with the past possibilities,
and offer some fresh attempts at reconceptualising democracy.
