Seminar and Workshop with Carlos Forment

11-1pm: Carlos Forment: Everyday Civility and Ordinary Politics Among Buenos Aires’ Scavengers: Emergent Forms of Plebeian Citizenship Across the Global South

2-3pm: Ethnography and Political Theory, a conversation with Carlos Forment

Carlos Forment is Associate Professor of Sociology at the New School for Social Research. He has three sets of research concerns: 1) to provide a Tocquevillian account of the development of civic democracy in nineteenth century Latin America and a Latin American reading of Tocquevillian democracy in the modern west; 2) to make sense of everyday forms of nationhood and selfhood in nineteenth century Latin America; and 3) to understand the way governmentalized populations across the global south, in the course of practicing everyday politics in the wake of neoliberalism, have transformed themselves into plebeian citizens.
