Does contemporary anti-capitalism tend towards, as Slavoj Zizek
believes, nihilism, or does it tend towards, as Michael Hardt and
Antonio Negri believe, true egalitarian freedom? Within The
Cultural Contradictions of Anti-Capitalism, Fletcher presents an
answer that manages to tend towards both simultaneously. In
entering into contemporary debates on radicalism, this innovative
volume proposes a revised conception of Hardt and Negri's
philosophy of emancipatory desire. Indeed, Fletcher reassesses
Hardt and Negri's history of Western radicalism and challenges
their notion of an alter-modernity break from bourgeois modernity.
In addition to this, this title proposes the idea of Western
anti-capitalism as a spirit within a spirit, exploring how
anti-capitalist movements in the West pose a genuine challenge to
the capitalist order while remaining dependent on liberalist
assumptions about the emancipatory individual. Inspired by
post-structuralism and rejecting both revolutionary transcendence
and notions of an underlying desiring purity, The Cultural
Contradictions of Anti-Capitalism offers new insight into how
liberal capitalist society persistently produces its own forms of
resistance against itself. This book will appeal to graduate and
postgraduate students interested in fields such as: Sociology,
Politics, International Relations, Cultural Studies, History, and
Philosophy.
