Develops a philosophical framework on how political norms transform the understandability of dissent, shaping societal discourse.
This paper develops a Wittgensteinian account of normative closure to argue that political arrangements do not only suppress dissent — they can transform the conditions under which dissent becomes intelligible at all. When historically contingent norms come to function as the taken-for-granted background of political intelligibility, what is lost is not merely voice, but the very space in which certain questions can appear as questions.
