What happens when a seemingly rational state becomes paranoid and
delusional? The Encrypted State engages in a close analysis of
political disorder to shed new light on the concept of political
stability. The book focuses on a crisis of rule in mid-20th-century
Peru, a period when officials believed they had lost the ability to
govern and communicated in secret code to protect themselves from
imaginary subversives. The Encrypted State engages the notion of
sacropolitics-the politics of mass group sacrifice-to make sense of
state delusion. Nugent interrogates the forces that variously
enable or disable organized political subjection, and the role of
state structures in this process. Investigating the role of
everyday cultural practices and how affect and imagination
structure political affairs, Nugent provides a greater
understanding of the conditions of state formation, and failure.
