- Summary:
- This project articulates and interprets the phenomenological attachment to social conservatism in the United States and United Kingdom. I argue that this movement coheres around a sense of feeling the body, out of which emotional disciplines are derived that are used for the construction, maintenance, and boundary protection of the community. The first chapter explains how Christian "love" is a discipline that chastises disobedient minorities like homosexuals, transpersons, the poor, and feminists. The second explains how a notion of "freedom" grounded on sin requires a Judeo-Christian polity to antagonize these same minorities. The third chapter interprets Margaret Thatcher's neoliberalism as a Christian discourse of moral worth about the body. And the fourth and final chapter is a close reading of Patrick Deneen, Yoram Hazony, and Aleksandr Dugin to demonstrate how contemporary conservative political theory retains these disciplines and this emphasis even while oriented toward purportedly secular rightwing audiences
