Michael Paul Rogin's scholarship profoundly altered the scope,
content, and disposition of political theory. He reconstituted the
field by opening it to an array of texts, performances, and methods
previously considered beyond the purview of the discipline. His
work addressed the relationship between dimensions of politics
typically split apart - institutional power and cultural forms,
material interests and symbolic meanings, class projects and
identity politics, the public and the private. Rogin's scholarship
enlarges our sense of the borders and genres defining political
theory as a field and enriches our capacity to think critically and
creatively about the political. The editors have focused on three
categories of substantive innovation: Demonology and
Countersubversion Rogin used the concepts "countersubversive
tradition" and "political demonology" to theorize how constitutive
exclusions and charged images of otherness generated imagined
national community. He exposed not only the dynamics of suppressing
and delegitimizing political opposition, but also how politics
itself is devalued and displaced. The Psychic Life of Liberal
Society Rogin addressed the essential contradiction in liberalism
as both an ideology and a regime - how a polity professing
equality, liberty, and pluralist toleration engages in genocide,
slavery, and imperial war. Political Mediation: Institutions and
Culture Rogin demonstrated how cultural forms - pervasive myths,
literary and cinematic works - mediate political life, and how
political institutions mediate cultural energies and aspirations.
