#EDUAUUniversityOfNewSouthWalesUNSWNoelaDavis "Judith Butler's theory of the constitution of subjectivity conceptualizes the subject as a performative materialization of its social environment. In her theory Butler utilizes Louis Althusser's notion of interpellation, and she critiques the constitutive paradoxes to which its tautological framing leads. Although there is no pre-existing subject, as it is constituted in the turn to the interpellative hail, Butler nonetheless theorizes a guilt and compulsion acting on an 'individual' that compels his or her turn to answer the hail. There is a price to pay for subjectivity in Butler's schema: the reprimand of the interpellative law that punishes at the same time as it constitutes. But a return to Althusser's text finds that he does not rely so much on coercion and guilt in his explanation of the subject's answer to the hail. Althusser can instead be read as suggesting that we are already an instantiation and enactment of power-ideology and, to paraphrase Michel Foucault, are already the principle of our own 'subjection.' This contests the notion that we are in any way compelled to submit to an external, punitive force to become subjects. As subjects, we are always-already the embodiment of the field of society-power-ideology (p.881). ...
The potential of interpellation as the basis for a performative theory of subjectivity lies in its being a naming that constitutes the subject it so names. There is no subject before this naming; that is, interpellation does not describe a pre-existing or given subject which then internalizes or appropriates its subjectifying conditions. Instead, interpellation gives an account of the genesis of the subject; that is, of the subject as an already subjectified, and thus social, being.
In The Psychic Life of Power, Butler examines Althusser's scenario of interpellation, aiming to give a 'symptomatic' reading of his text, a reading that will show the 'invisible' within it (Butler 1997b, 113). The scene of interpellation that Butler critiques in Althusser describes a hailing that transforms 'individuals into subjects' (Althusser 1971, 174). In his example, a policeman in the street calls out 'Hey, you there!' The mysterious qualities of this call are revealed as Althusser observes that the one so hailed turns around in response, and 'nine times out of ten it is the right one' who turns. In turning, the respondent 'becomes a subject' by recognizing that 'the hail was 'really' addressed to him' (174-75; original emphasis). In her reading, Butler highlights the enigmatic nature of such a suggestion, noting the 'paradoxical' elements of these processes of subject-formation (subjectivation) (Butler 1997b, 1). This arises because, in describing this scene, we must speak as if there is something that responds and turns to answer the hail, yet because interpellation constitutes the subject, there is no subject-no 'who'--to hear and respond to the call. In giving this account we must thus 'refer to what does not yet exist' (4), and are confronted with the difficulty of explaining what turns to answer, how 'it' recognizes the call, and why it turns (p.882)."

#NewspaperUKBrdshtBylineTimes "So far, the Project 2025 Heritage Foundation and Claremont Institute plan to codify the 'Unitary Executive theory' into law has been successful. Until recently, the Unitary Executive Theory was a fringe constitutional doctrine asserting the President holds sole authority over the entire executive branch, derived from Article II's vesting of 'the executive Power' in one person, meaning Congress can't limit presidential control over executive officials or agencies. The US Supreme Court has now mostly embraced this idea, and has consistently removed Congressional oversight powers, or even the power to dictate where and how funds are spent.
The other two branches have yielded power willingly; the Republican controlled Congress has handed over the power of the purse to the executive branch, and the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) has nearly universally accepted Department of Justice (DOJ) arguments that the executive branch cannot be countermanded via injunctions. SCOTUS also granted near-blanket immunity to the President to commit crimes while in office, so long as they are a part of 'official acts.'
The Republican Party is increasingly behaving like a party that believes it will never face a competitive election again, which I believe is exactly what is happening. The administration increasingly doubles down on unpopular policies and positions, including defending young Republican leaders who got caught admiring Hitler and looking forward to gassing and burning the bodies of their political opponents.
Trump is deep underwater in opinion polls across most of his signature issues, including tariffs, the economy, and immigration. Yet Republican leadership seems to assume they have the capability to decide Presidential elections in perpetuity, regardless of how people vote." https://bylinetimes.com/2026/01/22/trump-has-already-rigged-the-2028-presidential-election-us-defence-insider/

#NewspaperESBrdshtElPaisFrancoisBonnethttps://elpais.com/ideas/2021-08-15/ha-sido-usted-cancelado-el-movimiento-woke-y-su-falta-de-relativismo-moral.html (15 August 2021).
Google Translate (Spanish to English):
*You have been canceled: the 'woke' movement and its lack of moral relativism*
In this new social conscience, ideas that do not fall into the category of acceptable are considered radically immoral.
At the beginning of the last decade, young progressives in the West, angered by the consequences of the Great Recession, mobilised to occupy the streets, read Thomas Piketty's theory of economic inequalities at 1,000 pages in length, and demonstrated against the 1% made up of the richest. All that has been forgotten. Young progressives are now woke, that is, they are more socially conscious and more outraged by racial and gender injustices. In colleges, professors have become cautious when tackling sensitive topics, especially if the class is broadcasting on Zoom. And the new social conscience is not just a thing for young people. The latest Hollywood movies have increasingly diverse castings, and men are overshadowed by the starring role of perfect women. The more traditional newspapers have begun to speak of "supreme white". "Nike and even the CIA run ads talking about patriarchy and intersectionality.
The word woke (awake, aware) began to be used in the African-American fight against racism, but it has also come to designate progressive politics on gender and trans rights in particular. The horrific videos of unarmed black men being murdered by police officers that began circulating on social media in the mid-2010s notably boosted critical race theory, an intellectual trend that emerged in university law departments. and sociology. In recent years, the right wing has also started to use the word, but with an ironic and pejorative connotation: if someone speaks of wokism (in a pejorative tone) there is no doubt that they are opposed to racial and gender politics. ist.
In many ways, this woke wave is reminiscent of the political correctness of the 1990s and its emphasis on controlling language. Today's activists tend to be outraged by any pressure that they find problematic and controversial, at words that, in today's environment, are not only seen as mildly controversial, but have consequences. Contrary to what happens in most currents of the intellectual left, the Woke movement is not relativistic at all; when a person receives the qualification of problematic they run the risk of ending up "canceled", disappeared. This new awareness is a stained phenomenon: ideas or behaviours that do not fall into the category of acceptable are considered radically immoral. But the woke movement has also become an obsession for the right wing, which enjoys being outraged because something or someone has been "canceled". Being against the woke allows conservative media and politicians today to unite for a new cause, but the revolt that each case of cultural cancellation provokes distracts the right and prevents it from making a fundamental political reflection.
Another striking aspect of the woke movement is how it prioritises different types of oppression. The new social consciousness includes feminism, but according to "intersectional" principles, feminists must give the first line to transgender rights, as the controversy around J. K. Rowling (the Harry Potter writer starred in a controversy last year by hinting that in order to be a woman she has menstruation). The "Karen" meme - which portrays the stereotype of a white, bourgeois and racist woman - indicates that feminism is also below anti-racism. Another example was the resistance of the German media to talk about the sexual assaults that occurred during the celebrations. New Year's Eve 2016 for fear of being accused of stigmatising the alleged culprits.
It is curious that European activists have adopted aspects of the Woke movement that are specific to the United States: for example, the denunciation of the actors against the blackface or the murder of George Floyd became international phenomena.
But the fundamental difference between Europe and the US is in the legislation. The laws against discrimination are much stricter in the United States than in Europe. In the US, corporate human resources departments have been offering employees training courses on inclusion and diversity since the 1970s. The future of the Woke movement on both sides of the Atlantic will depend on the ability of activists and their adversaries to take advantage of the current moral outrage to make significant legal changes.
