Selected AbstractsThe end of progressive politics?PUBLIC POLICY RESEARCH, Issue 3 2008Carey Oppenheim Progressive politics has reached a stumbling block on its path to social change and it is time to identify new ways forward, say Carey Oppenheim and Lisa Harker. [source] Disjuncture, Continental philosophy's new "political Paul," and the question of progressive Christianity in a Southern California Third Wave churchAMERICAN ETHNOLOGIST, Issue 1 2009JON BIALECKI ABSTRACT Drawing on recent anthropological debates on temporality, hope, and the relationship between Christian eschatology and political action, I use Alain Badiou's reading of St. Paul's epistles to trace out the internal logic of a left-leaning Southern California church in the Vineyard, a strongly charismatic Christian denomination. I argue that members of this church see progressive politics as a function of the incomplete eschatological event of Jesus's redemption of the world. This view of progressive politics as demarcating an ontological divide serves to foreclose certain forms of political organizing and alliances because such political activity, being recognizable, does not fit the condition of radical alterity associated with the divine in church members' religious practice.

[source] 100 Years On: Who are the Inheritors of the ,New Liberal' Mantle?THE POLITICAL QUARTERLY, Issue 1 2007ALISON HOLMES The ,great divorce' of progressive politics at the end of the nineteenth century permanently altered British politics. While the philosophies of the Labour movement and the Liberal Party had many common elements, ideologically they diverged on issues of the role of liberty and the state in relation to the individual and the community to the point that they became irreconcilable. New Liberalism was one result of that debate. Contemporary political debate reflects many of the same features as the turmoil present a century ago, and the Labour Party and the Liberal Democrats are again contesting much of the same ground. This article seeks to draw out the salient aspects of this debate to conclude which, if either, party is the inheritor of the New Liberal tradition. [source] | ||||||||||
