Clare Woodford (Edited By) Clare Woodford is Principal Lecturer in Political Philosophy in the Centre for Applied Philosophy, Politics and Ethics (CAPPE) School of Humanities, University of Brighton; director of the CAPPE Critical Theory research group strand, and co-editor of Rowman and Littlefield's Polemics series. She is the author of articles and chapters on democratic disorientation and ambivalence, the work of Rancière, Butler, Cavell, Honig, Rawls, Laclau and Foucault with respect to performance, extremism, transnational populism, democratic activism and the ethics of friendship. Her book Disorienting democracy: politics of emancipation (London; Routledge) juxtaposed Rancière's thought with that of Butler, Cavell, Menke and Derrida to draw out the practical implications of his writing for emancipatory politics. She is currently working on a monograph on love, desire and commodification in democratic theories of the subject. Woodford works at the interstices of political philosophy. Questioning the division between theory and practice, passivity and action, she rethinks ethics, education, literature and aesthetics for a powerful conceptualization of democracy as ongoing egalitarian emancipatory struggle.
