‘What is to be Done?’ Insights and Blind Spots from Cultural Political Economy(s)

 

Notes

1 The untimely death of my colleague and friend Ulrich Beck on New Year's Day — and so soon after that of Roy Bhaskar too — has given these events a further, if more personal, hue regarding a new stage in the emergence of a ‘new world’ to which both were so insightfully and whole-heartedly dedicated, to the very end, but which unfortunately they were unable to witness. This article is dedicated to their memory, with enormous gratitude.

7 Flyvbjerg et al. Citation2013. I note (with thanks to Mervyn Hartwig) that Bhaskar (Citation2008) thematizes ‘phronesis’ in Dialectic. This is not the place to compare these discussions. But the development of the term by Flyvbjerg and colleagues remains significantly different to Bhaskar's use of it — and in ways that again resonate with the difference between projects prioritizing building edifices of understanding as against projects focused primarily on strategic intervention, as discussed here.
