SUMMARY:Empire By Its Other Names
DESCRIPTION:"Empire By Its Other Names" aims to map the political format
 ions of violence that organize and govern contemporary polit
 ical life. Following Trump’s election\, questions emerged a
 bout how to best typify this regime: Is it fascism\, authorit
 arianism\, or populism? A new or old form of white supremacy?
  The truth of American democracy\, or its betrayal? The essen
 ce of neo-liberalism\, or a backlash against it? On the other
  hand\, do these questions presuppose a form of American exce
 ptionalism\, accounting for it by discounting its global cont
 exts? And is the perplexity and urgency surrounding Trump n
 ot itself symptomatic of American exceptionalism? By thinki
 ng through some primary orders of violence\, this conference 
 will systematically place these questions and themes within 
 a wider global history.
