Description

Alberto Moreiras explores the concept of infrapolitics in this thought-provoking handbook. Infrapolitics seeks to understand conditions of existence that extend beyond political life, aiming to mobilize an exteriority that can challenge oppressive systems. Moreiras examines the notion of infrapolitics within contemporary philosophical reflection, tracing its connections to postphenomenology, deconstruction, Lacanian analysis, and anarchy. He argues that infrapolitics offers a new theoretical practice for concrete existence, providing a critique of the political apparatus while also offering an imperative horizon for existential self-understanding. This book provides a genealogy of infrapolitics, shedding light on its deployment in various fields of thought. By exploring this concept, readers can gain insight into alternative ways of thinking about politics and existence.
