Aliénor Ballangé Postdoctoral Researcher and Lecturer at the Institute of Political Science, Goethe University Frankfurt am Main Resident at the Forschungskolleg Humanwissenschaften: September 2020–July 2022 Research topic at the Forschungskolleg Humanwissenschaften: »The Past Future of European (Post-) Democracy« Project outline: My research project intends to question the originalities and the use of the »post-democracy« concept to specify how it can help to understand what kind of »democratic deficit« the EU is currently confronted to: to what extent does this concept regenerate the well-defined and already overmanned studies on »the democracy crisis«? Moreover, I should also put forward an internal criticism in order to determine whether the synthesis it is trying to implement between democracy and non-democracy proves to be convincing: do the post-democratic ambivalences help us to better map the contradictions specific to the democratic puzzle, especially in the EU specific case?
