American Exceptionalism and the Calling --$tAppendix --$tNotes --$tIndex 330 $aRedeemer Nation in the Interregnum interrogates the polyvalent role that American exceptionalism continues to play after 9/11. Whereas American exceptionalism is often construed as a discredited Cold War?era belief structure, Spanos persuasively demonstrates how it operationalizes an apparatus of biopolitical capture that saturates the American body politic down to its capillaries. The exceptionalism that Redeemer Nation in the Interregnum renders starkly visible is not a corrigible ideological screen. It is a deeply structured ethos that functions simultaneously on ontological, moral, economic, racial, gendered, and political registers as the American Calling. Precisely by refusing to answer the American Calling, by rendering inoperative (in Agamben?s sense) its covenantal summons, Spanos enables us to imagine an alternative America. At once timely and personal, Spanos?s meditation acknowledges the priority of being. He emphasizes the dignity not simply of humanity but of all phenomena on the continuum of being, ?the groundless ground of any political formation that would claim the name of democracy.? 606 $aExceptionalism$zUnited States 606 $aPolitical culture$zUnited States 606 $aDemocracy$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aExceptionalism 615 0$aPolitical culture 615 0$aDemocracy 676 $a306.20973 700 $aSpanos$b William V.$0465317 702 $aPease$b Donald E. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910465339603321 996 $aRedeemer nation in the interregnum$92478620 997 $aUNINA
