Autorenporträt
Bonnie Honig is Nancy Duke Lewis Professor of Modern Culture and Media (MCM) and Political Science at Brown University. In 2017-18, she served as inaugural Carl Cranor Phi Beta Kappa Scholar. An affiliate of the Digital Democracy Institute at Simon Fraser University and the American Bar Foundation, Chicago, her work in democratic and feminist theory studies the cultural politics of immigration (Democracy and the Foreigner, Princeton University Press, 2001), emergency (Emergency Politics: Paradox, Law, Democracy, Princeton University Press, 2009), mourning (Antigone, Interrupted, Cambridge University Press, 2013) and refusal (A Feminist Theory of Refusal, Harvard University Press, 2021). Her book Public Things : Democracy in Disrepair (Fordham University Press, 2017) came out days after Trump's 2017 inauguration, and her first piece of public writing about that presidency, "The President's House Is Empty," appeared on that inauguration day in the Boston Review. A collection of her public writing, Shell Shocked: Feminist Criticism after Trump, appeared with Fordham University Press in 2021. In 2023, her first book, Political Theory and the Displacement of Politics, was republished as a thirtieth-anniversary edition by Cornell University Press.
