CFP: "Speech and Politics" with Miranda Fricker Sciences Po's 12th Graduate Conference of Political Theory Submission deadline: January 31, 2026 Conference date(s): May 27, 2026 - May 28, 2026 Call for papers Key words: Attentiveness, listening, discourses, representation, political language, democracy, margins The relationship between speech and politics has recently become the object of renewed scholarly interest. Following Michel Foucault’s analyses of parrhesia and the courage of truth (2008, 2017), political theory has increasingly interrogated the force of “truth-telling” within practices of resistance to power, as evidenced by studies on the so-called “liberation of speech” among women in the #MeToo movement (Châteauvert-Gagnon, 2025).

Der Historiker Avi Shlaim zögerte erst, von einem Völkermord in Gaza zu sprechen. Im Interview erklärt er, woran er den Genozid dann doch erkannte, und warum er wenig Hoffnung hat, dass die israelische Gesellschaft ihr Unrecht von selbst einsehen wird.
