Beschreibung
Redescriptions was recently renamed as the Yearbook of Political Thought,
Conceptual History and Feminist Theory. In volume 12 (2008) aspects of
studying the politics of the past are thematized through feminist
historians’ discussion on war and the role of the worker in communist
regimes. One article and two comments on an article published in volume 11
deal with contemporary theories of democracy. One of the included articles
discusses the chances of democratization in the EU, and one carries out a
fictional analysis of an undemocratic regime. Three articles propose
rhetorical redescriptions of key political concepts, namely
“objectivity”, “decision” and “patriotism”.
