By reexamining the very foundations of everyday acting and thinking
and stepping into the open expanse of a possible-transition to a
postmodern era, this book presents a radical phenomena-logical
approach to the study of contemporary social movements. It offers a
theory of acting that refuses to surrender to norms and
legislations and thus always intimates a mode of thinking that
challenges various manifestations of ultimacy. Vahabzadeh invites
us to radically rethink many basic principles that inform our
lives, such as the democratic discourse, the concept of rights,
liberal democratic regimes, time and epochs, oppression, acting,
and the practice of sociology, in an effort to instate a reworked
concept of experience in theories about social movements.
