Bonnie Honig, Reading Antigone for Rights: On Death, War, and Civil Disobedience

Bonnie Honig is a professor in the Department of Political Science
and the Director of the Center for Law, Culture, and Social Thought at
Northwestern University.

Her work centres on the areas of contemporary political, democratic
and feminist theory. She has written on the hidden costs of
legitimation in political theory and practice, the cultural politics
of immigration, conceptions of time and progress in political and
legal thinking, discretion and emergency power, popular
constitutionalism, and, most recently, on the conflict between justice
and mourning in Sophocles’ Antigone.

In this lecture, Bonnie Honig presents the research behind her next
book tentatively titled: Antigone’s Anachronism? On Justice, Mourning,
and the Politics of Burial.

A follow-up advanced seminar for faculty and graduate students will
be held March 7 at 14h30 in the McConnell Building, 1400 Boulevard de Maisonneuve Ouest, 659-4.
