Edgeworkbrings together seven of Wendy Brown's most provocative recent essays in political and cultural theory. They range from explorations of politics post-9/11 to critical reflections on the academic norms governing feminist studies and political theory.Edgeworkis also concerned with the intellectual and political value of critique itself. It renders contemporary the ancient jurisprudential meaning of critique as krisis, in which a tear in the fabric of justice becomes the occasion of a public sifting or thoughtfulness, the development of criteria for judgment, and the inauguration of political renewal or restoration. Each essay probes a contemporary problem--the charge of being unpatriotic for dissenting from U.S. foreign policy, the erosion of liberal democracy by neoliberal political rationality, feminism's loss of a revolutionary horizon--and seeks to grasp the intellectual impasse the problem signals as well as the political incitement it may harbor.
Wendy Brown
Heller Professor of Political Science
Groups: Political Theory & Philosophy
Professor Brown's fields of interest include the history of political theory, nineteenth and twentieth century Continental theory, critical theory, and cultural theory (including feminist theory, critical race theory, and postcolonial theory). She is best known for intertwining the insights of Marx, Nietzsche, Weber, Freud, Frankfurt School theorists, Foucault, and contemporary Continental philosophers to critically interrogate formations of power, political identity, citizenship, and political subjectivity in contemporary liberal democracies. Brown's current work focuses on the relationship of political sovereignty to global capital and other transnational forces, including those associated with religion, law, culture and moral discourse.
Professor Brown received her Ph.D in Political Philosophy from Princeton University in 1983. Prior to coming to Berkeley in 1999, she taught at the University of California, Santa Cruz and at Williams College. Brown's books include Manhood and Politics: A Feminist Reading in Political Theory (Rowman and Littlefield, 1988), States of Injury: Power and Freedom in Late Modernity (Princeton, 1995), Politics Out of History (Princeton, 2001), Left Legalism/Left Critique, co-edited with Janet Halley (Duke, 2002), Edgework: Critical Essays in Knowledge and Politics (Princeton, 2005), and Regulating Aversion: Tolerance in the Age of Identity and Empire (Princeton, 2006), Is Critique Secular? co-authored with Talal Asad, Judith Butler and Saba Mahmood (UC Press, 2009) and Walled States, Waning Sovereignty (Zone Books, 2010). Her work has been translated into more than 15 languages. She lectures around the world, has held a number of distinguished visiting lectureships, and has recently been a Senior Fellow of the American Council of Learned Societies, a Member of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, and a UC President's Humanities Fellow.
In the Political Science Department, Professor Brown offers undergraduate courses on early modern and modern European political theory and on political freedom. She offers graduate courses in the history of European political thought and on contemporary problems in political theory drawn from her own research, including, in recent years, sovereignty, critique, humanism, the autonomy of the political, and the problem of the secular. She also teaches in the Designated Emphasis in Critical Theory, an interdisciplinary graduate curriculum.

評分一個Critical Theorist的隨筆集。裏麵第三章Neoliberalism and the End of Democracy是目前這門課看到的文獻中對Neoliberalism本體和現象論述得最好的之一,繼承瞭福柯的解構理論,探討瞭保守右翼同新自由主義閤流的原因是相互利用道德和經濟上的論述,但更直白地指齣Neoliberalism在實踐中造成liberal democracy衰退的現象,並由此提齣左翼不要再被liberal democracy給co-opt,要站在體製外來批判(好吧,我立場上無法贊同)。第二篇關於政治認同和政治愛欲(political love)及第五篇對political theory作用的反思(也是我感興趣的)都有可讀性。最後兩篇關於女性研究的沒看。
