Unstable universalities examines the theme of universality and its
place in radical political theory. Saul Newman argues that both
Marxist politics of class struggle and the postmodern politics of
difference have reached their historical and political limits, and
that what is needed is a new approach to universality, a new way of
thinking about collective politics. By exploring various themes and
ideas within poststructuralist and post-Marxist theory, the book
develops a new and original approach to universality - one that has
important implications for politics today, particularly on
questions of power, subjectivity, ethics and democracy. In so
doing, it engages in debates with thinkers such as Laclau, Zizek,
Badiou and Ranciere over the future of radical politics. It also
applies important theoretical insights to contemporary events such
as the emergence of the anti-globalisation movement, the 'war on
terrorism', the rise of anti-immigrant racism, and the nihilistic
violence which lurks at the margins of the political.
