Harbour Centre
On Wednesday Mar. 4, guest speaker Marie Groupy gave a lecture at SFU Harbour Centre titled, “The State of Exception Theory by Carl Schmitt and the Ambivalent Criticism of Liberalism.”
The presentation was based on Groupy’s upcoming book, which deals with the emergence of the idea of the state of exception during the interwar period. Similar to a state of emergency, the state of exception is based in the sovereign’s ability to transcend the rule of law.
