Description
This book addresses the current crisis of democratic politics and its phase of 'interregnum' - in which the past finds it hard to die and the future finds it difficult to be born - by proposing a radical redefinition of the concept of the Political.
Drawing on the thought of Antonio Gramsci and Walter Benjamin amongst others, it explores the meaning of the 'lemma auctoritas' - the opposition between authority and power - and offers a comparison of the Frankfurt School's radical critique of power with Georges Bataille's critique of political economy and consumerist productivism, demonstrating how the two ultimately converge. Based on an ontology of the present that is critical of 'identity obsession' and advances instead a universalism of difference, the author proposes a new understanding of politics founded not on 'vertical' domination, but a 'horizontal' recomposition of subjectivities., allowing interaction and acting-in-common between different forms of life.
This book will therefore appeal to scholars of social and political theory.
