title = "The being of the political and instituting doing in question: Reflections on J{\'o}hann P. {\'A}rnason's thought",
abstract = "The notion of instituting doing also refers to the always-becoming of society. However, unlike the social-historical, it encompasses collective action as “thoughtful doing”, to explicitly and reflexively interrogate instituted society to effect socio-political change, as well as a trans-subjective aspect of {\textquoteleft}social movement{\textquoteright}; these two levels can overlap. Arnason himself has suggested a rethinking of the creativity of action as one of the tasks of articulating the being of the political, but it is worth noting that, over the course of his intellectual trajectory, the question of action/praxis has, at least since his hermeneutic turn in the 1980s, clearly been subsidiary to the problematic of history. Arnason wants to bring more {\textquoteleft}history{\textquoteright} into the {\textquoteleft}social-historical, both in general and as part of his rethinking of the being of the political. Arnason{\textquoteright}s cultural turn in the 1980s saw a shift in emphasis in his response to the phenomenological problematic of the world.",
