Description
Crowds and Party by Jodi Dean explores how mass protests can become an organized activist collective. In this thought-provoking work, Dean argues that we need to rethink our understanding of politics and the role of the party. Dean contends that previous discussions of the party have overlooked its affective dimensions, instead focusing on conscious processes. She shows how the party operates as a complex web of unconscious forces that bind people together. By rethinking the party in this way, Dean suggests we can revitalize political practice and create more effective forms of collective action. This book offers a fresh perspective on the role of politics and the party in shaping our understanding of collective subjectivity.
