Has political resistance has lost its ability to confront political
and economic power and achieve social change? Despite its best
intentions, resistance has often become incorporated and neutered
before it achieves its aims, as new forms of power absorb it and
turn it towards their own ends. Since the Enlightenment, the
opposing forces of power and resistance have framed our view of
society and politics. Exploring that development, this book shows
how resistance can, ironically, reinforce existing status quos and
fundamentally strengthen capitalist and colonial desires for
"sovereignty" and "domination". It highlights, therefore, the
urgent need for new critical perspectives that breaks free from
this imprisoning modern history. In this spirit, this book seeks to
theorize the radical potential for a post-resistance existence and
politics. One that exchanges a permanent revolution against
authority with the discovery of novel forms of agency, social
relations and the self that are currently lacking. That aims to
construct economic and social systems based not on the possibility
of freedom but enlarging the freedom of possibility. In the 21st
century can we move beyond power and resistance to a politics at
the radical limits that eternally expands what is socially
possible?
