Whereas older models of resistance are based on revolution and opposition to the state, Newman notes that the state is no longer the key problem of our time. \u003ci\u003ePostanarchism\u003c\/i\u003e is his response; it is based on autonomy, insurrection and the recuperation of politics.

In light of recent uprisings around the world against the neoliberal capitalist order, Saul Newman argues that anarchism - or as he calls it postanarchism - forms our contemporary political horizon.\u003c\/p\u003e   \u003cp\u003eIn this book, Newman develops an original political theory of postanarchism; a form of anti-authoritarian politics which starts, rather than finishes, with anarchy. He does this by asking four central questions: who are we as subjects; how do we resist; what is our relationship to violence; and, why do we obey? By drawing on a range of heterodox thinkers including La Boétie, Sorel, Benjamin, Stirner and Foucault, the author not only investigates the current conditions for radical political thought and action, but proposes a new form of politics based on what he calls ontological anarchy and the desire for autonomous life. Rather than seeking revolutionary emancipation or political hegemony, we should affirm instead the non-existence of power and the ever-present possibilities of freedom.\u003c\/p\u003e   \u003cp\u003eAs the tectonic plates of our time are shifting, revealing the nihilism and emptiness of our political and economic order, postanarchism�s disdain for power in all its forms offers us genuine emancipatory potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003col\u003e \u003cli\u003ePreface \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 From Anarchism to Postanarchism \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 Singularities \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 Insurrection \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 Violence against Violence \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 Voluntary Inservitude \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 Thinking from the Outside \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNotes \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReferences \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Politics \u0026amp; government [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Politics \u0026amp; government\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Politics%20\u0026amp;%20government%20%5BJP%5D%22\"\u003eJP\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52407341023512,"sku":"9780745688732","price":42.35,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780745688732.jpg?v=1784163568","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/postanarchism-hardback-9780745688732","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
