How might we think about politics and political action in this period of political despair? One way is to consider political action--at least democratic political action--as collective action out of the presupposition of equality. We'll discuss what this means, how it works, and where we find it in our world.

For those unfamiliar with him, Todd is probably best known (in our circles) for his text "The Political Philosophy of Poststructuralist Anarchism," but is also widely known for works on the philosophy of Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze, and more recently Jaques Ranciere. This weekend's discussion will be focused on what Ranciere offers in the way of reclaiming equality from the liberal tradition, in favor of a more radical application in collective political action, and what that might look like on the ground, in ongoing social movements.
