Description
Theoretical Times by Steve Redhead explores the current global state, characterized by economic, environmental, and cultural crises. A new battle is emerging within the right, pitting globalists against economic nationalists, leaving the prospects for a revived left-wing theoretical politics uncertain. This book examines the work of influential theorists such as Alain Badiou, Slavoj Žižek, Jean Baudrillard, and Paul Virilio, offering innovative resources to navigate the challenges of our time. The author argues that we are facing a desperate state of hopelessness, often referred to as the "new dark ages", where accelerated culture leaves us exhausted and fearful. Theoretical Times provides new theoretical perspectives to help us find a way out of this complex situation.
