Theorizing ideas and discourse in political science: intersubjectivity, neo-institutionalisms, and the power of ideas
Oscar Larsson’s (2015) essay condemns discursive institutionalism for the “sin” of subjectivism. In reality, however, discursive institutionalism emphasizes the intersubjective nature of ideas through its theorization of agents’ “background ideational abilities” and “foreground discursive abilities.” It also avoids relativism by means of Wittgenstein’s distinction between experiences of everyday life and pictures of the world. Contrary to Larsson, what truly separates post-structuralism from discursive institutionalism is the respective approaches’ theorization of the relationship of power to ideas, with discursive institutionalists mainly focused on persuasive power through ideas, while post-structuralists focus on the structural power in ideas or on coercive power over ideas
Diophantine approximation on Veech surfaces
We show that Y. Cheung's general -continued fractions can be adapted to
give approximation by saddle connection vectors for any compact translation
surface. That is, we show the finiteness of his Minkowski constant for any
compact translation surface. Furthermore, we show that for a Veech surface in
standard form, each component of any saddle connection vector dominates its
conjugates. The saddle connection continued fractions then allow one to
recognize certain transcendental directions by their developments
