What shape can radical politics take today in a time abandoned by
the great revolutionary projects of the past? In light of recent
uprisings around the world against the neoliberal capitalist order,
Saul Newman argues that anarchism - or as he calls it postanarchism
- forms our contemporary political horizon. In this book, Newman
develops an original political theory of postanarchism; a form of
anti-authoritarian politics which starts, rather than finishes,
with anarchy. He does this by asking four central questions: who
are we as subjects; how do we resist; what is our relationship to
violence; and, why do we obey? By drawing on a range of heterodox
thinkers including La Boetie, Sorel, Benjamin, Stirner and
Foucault, the author not only investigates the current conditions
for radical political thought and action, but proposes a new form
of politics based on what he calls ontological anarchy and the
desire for autonomous life. Rather than seeking revolutionary
emancipation or political hegemony, we should affirm instead the
non-existence of power and the ever-present possibilities of
freedom. As the tectonic plates of our time are shifting, revealing
the nihilism and emptiness of our political and economic order,
postanarchism's disdain for power in all its forms offers us
genuine emancipatory potential.
