Things you read as social scientist: „Nun haben wir es mit Tieren zu tun, bei welchen die Reizaufnahme (..) nicht zu einer unmittelbaren Reaktion an (..) der Randschicht des Organismus führt. Bei einer Katze öffnet sich nicht die Haut an der Stelle, wo eine Maus diese berührt.“

Before the start of House of the Dragon, I remember what the critics of the Game of Thrones finale overlooked: Daenerys' killing was a strong statement against political utopianism. George R.R. Martin seems to be very aware of the post-foundational condition.

Glad to be attending this year's Essex Summer School. I look forward to delving even deeper into the ideas of Ernesto Laclau and the Essex School in the course "Applying Discourse Theory - Politics, Ideology, Populism" with Jason Glynos and Yannis Stavrakakis!

"Those operating within the [...] constructionist perspective have not fared much better than their structuralist predecessors in elaborating the role of emotions in collective action. Instead, we continue to write as though our movement actors [...] are Spock-like beings"
