DESCRIPTION:<p>Radical democrats--whether drawing on Thomas Hobbes&rsquo\; &ldquo\;sleeping sovereign&rdquo\; or on&nbsp\;Benedict de&nbsp\;Spinoza's &ldquo\;multitude&rdquo\;--understand popular&nbsp\;power as moments transcending ordinary&nbsp\;institutional politics (e.g. popular plebsites or mass movements). However\, in my new book\,&nbsp\;<em>Potentia</em>\, I&nbsp\;argue that the political writings of Hobbes and Spinoza offer a rather different conceptual framework for understanding the genesis\, risks\, and&nbsp\;promise of popular&nbsp\;power. A focus on the concept of power&nbsp\;as potentia generates a new approach to popular&nbsp\;power\, according to which its true center lies in the slow\, meticulous work of&nbsp\;organizational design&nbsp\;and maintenance. &nbsp\; To accommodate audience members not fluent in English\, I will provide and follow a written version of the talk. &nbsp\; Presentation hosted by Research Group 'Republics\, Rights\, and States of Law: Theoretical and Historical Genesis and its Impact on the Contemporary Political Debate in Latin America'\;&nbsp\;El Instituto de Investigaciones Gino Germani de la Facultad de Ciencias Sociales de la&nbsp\;Universidad de Buenos Aires (UBA). &nbsp\;</p>
