Abstract

First published in 1993, Bonnie Honig’s Political Theory and the Displacement of Politics challenged political theorists’ focus on justifying political institutions and norms, and helped to usher in what we might call an “agonistic turn’’ in political theory. While searching for “agonism politics” in Google Scholar brings up more than 26, 000 results today, for entries prior to 1993 those same search terms number only 1300 results. As of July, there are already 2160 results for 2019 alone.
