Have the configurations of the networks of power in America transformed in a new way that re-encompasses elements present in the sovereign display of power? The question is scary. Considering the popular claim that we live in a democracy I am baffled in my ability to account for the process of change that supports a resemblance or similarity between the syntheses of the American citizenry and the sovereign. The sovereign king was a definite and distinct material composition, whereas the polis is a more abstract and scattered composition. I am puzzled. Continue the excellent discussion. Yours in discourse, Steven Meinking The University Of Utah steven.meinking-AT-m.cc.utah.edu
