"[T]he richness of his analysis, [...] his poststrucuralist
emphasis on genealogy, historicity, temporality, and discourse can
supplement the sometimes arid terms of the agency/structure debate.
[...] An invitation to readers who might not normally turn to
Continental theory for methodological inspiration, to learn from
Chamber's splendid, and, yesy, timely volume."
--Diana Coole, "Queen Mary University of London," from a book
review in the June 04 "Perspectives"
The standard, linear view of history is founded on the belief
that political outcomes are predetermined by what has gone before.
This book challenges this view, arguing for what Samuel A. Chambers
calls an untimely politics which renders the past problematic and
the future unpredictable. This pathbreaking argument is advanced
through a close reading of key texts in political theory and by
entering into debates involving metaphysics, philosophy of
language, and psychoanalysis versus discursive analysis.
Chambers focuses on the theme of the relevance of language
analysis to political debate, answering those critics who insist
discourse approaches to politics are irrelevant. Heidegger,
Nietzsche, Foucault and Derrida are used to challenge the political
burden which is placed on language analysis to prove its value in
the real world. Drawing from political theory and cultural studies
Chambers takes on the same-sex marriage debate, showing how the use
and misuse of language has contributed to an impasse that is not
likely to be broken.
Wide ranging and insightful, Untimely Politics makes a timely
plea for a more politically relevant and culturally engaged form of
intellectual engagement.
