Politics of Withdrawal considers the significance of practices and
theories of withdrawal for radical thinking today. With
contributions of major theorists in the fields of contemporary
political philosophy, cultural studies and media studies, the
chapters investigate the multiple contexts, possibilities and
impasses of political withdrawal - from the radical to the
seemingly mundane - and reflect a range of case studies varying
from the political thinking of Debord, the Invisible Committee,
Moten and Harney, feminist notions of 'strike' and 'exit', and
indigenous forms of sabotage, to the individual retreat as means of
reconfiguring political subjectivity. It looks at technological
failure as disconnection from surveillance, and from alternative
financial futures to contemporary 'pharmako-politics.' The volume
provides a vital grip on a key notion in contemporary radical
politics, in all its complexity, contradictions and tribulations.
Working from an interdisciplinary perspective that draws on the
social sciences, legal studies, and the humanities, this book
investigates the causes and effects of the extremities experienced
by migrants. Firstly, the volume analyses the development and
political-cultural conditions of current practices and discourses
of "bordering," "illegality," and "irregularization." Secondly, it
focuses on the varieties of irregularization and on the diversity
of the fields, techniques and effects involved in this variegation.
Thirdly, the book examines examples of resistance that migrants and
migratory cultures have developed in order to deal with the
predicaments they face. The book uses the European Union as its
case study, exploring practices and discourses of bordering, border
control, and migration regulation. But the significance of this
field extends well beyond the European context as the monitoring of
Europe's borders increasingly takes place on a global scale and
reflects an internationally increasing trend.
