This project will investigate how constitutional communities shape governing institutions through shifting conceptions of privacy. How has an increased tendency to blur the distinction between state and private commerce-a process of privatization-also accompanied a pervasive loss of personal privacy? Public goods, however these might be defined, are increasingly provided through private entities, closed to ordinary forms of democratic transparency and control. At the same time, everyday private matters are increasingly rendered transparent to both governmental and other private enterprises. On the one hand, political policies translate public goods into private values subject to market exchange and cost benefit logics. On the other hand, private matters of everyday personal life are subject to surveillance and marketized &#8220;datafication&#8221; by both governmental bodies and other private entities. As a consequence of these two processes, the status of privacy, of &#8220;the private,&#8221; is undergoing a transformation that this project seeks to explore. My exploration of this transformation focuses on the relationship between the constitutive commitments that comprise a shared ethical life and the constitutive understandings that shape a constitutional community.        <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Professor of Law at the University of South Carolina Research project title:The Constitution of Ethical Life: Privacy, Community, and the Liberal State AbstractI am in the early stages of a [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":1647,"template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"position":[213],"institute":[],"class_list":["post-8188","member","type-member","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","position-former-fellow"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/normativeorders.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/member\/8188"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/normativeorders.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/member"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/normativeorders.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/member"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/normativeorders.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/normativeorders.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1647"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/normativeorders.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8188"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"position","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/normativeorders.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/position?post=8188"},{"taxonomy":"institute","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/normativeorders.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/institute?post=8188"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
