Wendy Brown is Class of 1936 First Chair of Political Science at the University of California, Berkeley, where she is also affiliated with the Department of Rhetoric and the Critical Theory Program and the author of Undoing the Demos: Neoliberalism's Stealth Revolution (Zone Books).
Brown's thesis, summarily put, is that modern-day walls are discredited markers of failing sovereignty. What is sovereignty: It is the revealed will of a political association to dispose of its own affairs. As that definition implies, it contains an irreducible element of the de facto. For Brown, sovereignty is now a ragged oriflamme, a willful but doomed exercise in self-persuasion. -London Review of Books Brown's thesis, summarily put, is that modern-day walls are discredited markers of failing sovereignty.
