Sala C: The Fire / LF

The Fire

Revolutionary Anxieties studies the role of the liberal elite during the Egyptian transitional period (2011-2014). It shows how the election of the Islamists caused anxiety among the liberal and cultural elites that constituted Cairo's exclusive society. The book examines their relationship with other Egyptians--those who were not part of Cairo's exclusive society, including their servants, the city's poor, and members of Islamist parties. It further illustrates how the narratives of "others" relied on dichotomies such as "ugly versus beautiful" and "civilized versus uncivilized," familiar to scholars from the colonial era. The book also shows how, during the transitional period, Cairo's liberal elite attempted to assert their superiority in various fields. Performative practices related to gender, culture, and art; etiquette and manners; the use of foreign languages; and knowledge of Egyptian history all manifested the cultural capital of the liberal elite. One purpose of this book is to explore the uses of the past in legitimizing and reinventing current cultural and socio-political asymmetries. Throughout, I demonstrate how access to narratives of Egypt's past--understood as "liberal" and "civilized"--functioned as a critical resource for the elite who opposed the new Islamist rulers. The insistence on Egypt's true "civilized" character, which was seen as endangered by the Islamists, was closely tied to political calculations.

Russia and Eurasia 2025–2026

The purpose of this book is to explore the major conceptual differences between classical and modern political philosophy and to understand how these differences have yielded competing conceptions of justice. If ancient and modern thinkers used a different set of constructs, definitions, and methods to explain justice, then it is our duty to understand them. It is also our duty to understand why they have such differences. 
Modern thinkers, beginning with Thomas Hobbes, developed a thought experiment-the state of nature-that allowed them to redefine well-established political terms (nature, happiness, virtue, equality, freedom) to determine what people were like in the absence of any external authority, that is, a state. The argument was so compelling that their adherents applied this logic to determine what they deemed legitimate forms of government. In doing so, they made classical articulations of justice appear irrelevant. 
This shift-a seismic move away from more than 1,500 years of political philosophy, validated the new approach and called into question the approach of classical theorists. As a result, we now inhabit a world that sees little political significance in the work of the ancients. The classical theory of Plato and Aristotle appears too subjective. It seems too ideological and at times mystical. Such a momentous shift in thinking has resulted in a change in the way citizens see themselves in relation to the state and more importantly, toward each other.

"We are living in what might be considered a 'carceral world'. Practices, performances, spatialities, imaginaries, and experiences of incarceration are widespread. Carceral Worlds offers a necessary and timely contribution to understanding these realities of our globalized present. The book interrogates the central implication of prison systems in population management and expands our perspectives of security, imprisonment and confinement to account for the historical and social constructions that drive the connections between prisons and the capitalist system. Crucially, it addresses the intersection of the carceral beyond traditional spaces of incarceration and imprisonment to interrogate, for example, infrastructures of labor; religion; the prolonged effects of colonial heritage on the everyday; ecological concerns; homelessness; migrant detention; and city management as part of the production of our 'carceral world'. The volume brings together work on an international scale with case studies from across the Global North and Global South. Bringing together multidisciplinary contributions that speak to the themes of the conditions, experiences and imaginaries of carcerality, this book will be essential reading for those interested in questions of carcerality in relation to the management, control, and securitization of populations around the globe"-- Provided by publisher.

Indigenous peoples in North America have long argued that they are treated unfairly when their historically grounded political and property rights are disregarded by the United States and Canada. This book explains the normative structure of such claims for fair treatment and defends their overall plausibility.
