Description
Unstable Universalities: Poststructuralism and Radical Politics
Saul Newman explores the concept of universality in radical political theory, arguing that both Marxist politics and postmodern theories have reached their limits. He proposes a new approach to universality, one that has significant implications for contemporary debates on power, subjectivity, ethics, and democracy.
The book engages with key thinkers such as Laclau, Žižek, Badiou, and Rancière, while applying theoretical insights to events like the anti-globalisation movement, the "war on terrorism", and rising anti-immigrant racism. This new perspective offers a fresh analysis of radical politics in today's world.
