BODIES OF DEMOCRACY - AMANDA MACHIN KARTONIERT ...

Where are all the bodies? Political institutions are populated by living  breathing human
beings  who eat  sleep  gesture  desire and suffer. And yet participants of the political realm
are often depicted as disembodied minds  detached and distinct from their corporeal existence.
Amanda Machin considers six embodied modes of democratic politics: representation  deliberation
disagreement  protest  occupation and counsel. Drawing on diverse thinkers such as Maurice
Merleau-Ponty  Michael Polanyi  Simone de Beauvoir  Donna Haraway and Judith Butler  she offers
an absorbing illustration of the ways human bodies are not only the disciplined objects of
politics  but the generative subjects of democracy.
