SUMMARY:Political Theory Workshop: "The Use of Love" by Lida Maxwell
DESCRIPTION:Speaker:  Lida Maxwell\, Boston University \nTitle:  The Use of Love \nTopic:  PT Workshop \nTime:  Friday\, May 21st; 4:00pm PST \n  \n*Please note that the attached chapter is from Professor Maxwell’s book project on queer love* \n  \nZOOM LINK: \nhttps://ucla.zoom.us/j/8217815316?pwd=dlU4enhrUTVBOVFSUFhRamJsd2dwdz09 \n  \nMeeting ID:  821 781 5316 \nPasscode:  4289 \n  \nOne tap mobile \n+12133388477\,\,8217815316#\,\,\,\,\,\,0#\,\,4289# US (Los Angeles) \n+16692192599\,\,8217815316#\,\,\,\,\,\,0#\,\,4289# US (San Jose) \n——————– \n  \n  \nThe password-protected paper is both attached and available on the PT website at \nhttps://polisci.ucla.edu/events/workshops/political-theory-workshop \n  \nThe password is (case-sensitive) UCLAtheory \n \n  \nAbstract: \nThis chapter of my book project\, “Queer Love\,” examines how the experience of queer love puts normal “uses” of love into question\, and reframes the nature of “use” – of objects\, people\, non-human nature\, institutions etc. – for queer lovers more generally. The chapter focuses on the relationship between Rachel Carson and Dorothy Freeman\, as well as Audre Lorde’s account of the erotic\, while also examining some of Carson’s early writings while she worked at the Department of the Interior. A central claim of the chapter is that the use of love and the use of non-human nature are connected\, and that when queer love puts the nature of “use” into question\, this happens in part through unfamiliar uses of non-human nature.

SUMMARY:Political Theory Workshop: "Out of Line: Line-Standing\, Queues\, and Distributive Justice" by Elizabeth Cohen
DESCRIPTION:Speaker:  Elizabeth Cohen\, Syracuse University \nTitle:  Out of Line: Line-Standing\, Queues\, and Distributive Justice \nTopic:  PT Workshop \nTime:  Friday\, June 4th; 4:00pm PST \n  \nZOOM LINK: \nhttps://ucla.zoom.us/j/8217815316?pwd=dlU4enhrUTVBOVFSUFhRamJsd2dwdz09 \n  \nMeeting ID:  821 781 5316 \nPasscode:  4289 \n  \nOne tap mobile \n+12133388477\,\,8217815316#\,\,\,\,\,\,0#\,\,4289# US (Los Angeles) \n+16692192599\,\,8217815316#\,\,\,\,\,\,0#\,\,4289# US (San Jose) \n——————– \n  \n  \nThe password-protected paper is both attached and available on the PT website at \nhttps://polisci.ucla.edu/events/workshops/political-theory-workshop \n  \nThe password is (case-sensitive) UCLAtheory \n \n  \nAbstract: \nTime is a fundamental ingredient of social justice. Yet political theory does not often directly interrogate the temporality of distributive justice. This paper examines one aspect of distributive justice and time. It looks at the impact of members of a society thinking of themselves to be waiting in queues to access political opportunities\, goods\, and standing. The process of “waiting in line” has become a common metaphor to describe the experience of seeking social and political mobility. Queues are associated with powerful social justice expectations and related emotions. Once people believe they have invested time waiting in line\, they tend to treat their place in line to be a form of property\, they expect the principle of first come first served to apply\, and they react strongly to even a suggestion that a line has been “cut” or arbitrarily reordered. Such frames have important implications for how anyone seeking social mobility will regard immigrants\, or anyone they believe should be behind them in a line.

SUMMARY:Political Theory Workshop on 2/17/2023 (Lisa Disch)
DESCRIPTION:Speaker:  Lisa Disch\, University of Michigan\nTitle:  Responsiveness in Reverse\nTopic:  PT Workshop\nTime:  Friday\, February 17th; 4:00pmThe password-protected paper is both attached and available on the PT website at\nhttps://polisci.ucla.edu/events/workshops/political-theory-workshop\nThe password is (case-sensitive) UCLAtheory\nAbstract:\nClassic accounts of representative democracy describe an interest-first model according to which constituencies form around things they want and elected representatives respond to their demands. Research into political knowledge and preference formation shows that in practice\, responsiveness goes the other way. In mass democracies\, acts of political representation often do not take constituencies and their interests as a starting point. Representatives of all kinds participate in forming group identities\, crafting political demands\, and defining political cleavages. In such a context\, the model of interest-first representation and the responsiveness ideal set representative democracy up to fail: they create expectations about “competence” that most individuals cannot and need not meet. I propose a mobilization conception of political representation and defend a dynamic account of constituency making to shift those expectations.

SUMMARY:Political Theory Workshop (3/3/23) - Alexander Diones (Loyola Marymount University)
DESCRIPTION:Speaker:  Alexander Diones\, Loyola Marymount University\nTitle: Criticism and Self-Criticism: The Combahee River Collective and the Critique of Global Maoism\nTopic:  PT Workshop\nTime:  Friday\, March 3rd; 4:00pm \nThe password-protected paper is both attached and available on the PT website at\nhttps://polisci.ucla.edu/events/workshops/political-theory-workshop\nThe password is (case-sensitive) UCLAtheory \nAbstract:\nHow do we conceive of solidarity when we’re conditioned to treating one another as antagonists? To answer this question\, I turn to the Combahee River Collective’s “Statement\,” particularly its theory of what the authors call “criticism and loathing.” Building on recent scholarship on the collective’s place in the intellectual history of global Maoism\, this essay argues that the account of criticism contained in this phrase should be thought of as both a reformulation of Maoist theories of vanguard politics and a claim about the relation of identity and solidarity.
