In this later phase, the authoritarian spirit of neoliberalism has again come to the forefront, but this time in the midst of formal democracies. Using Argentina as a paradigmatic case but ranging more widely, Catanzaro shows that the authoritarian neoliberalism of the present is driven by, and at the same time exacerbates, an elitist, punitive, sacrificial, anti-egalitarian, and anti-intellectual ideology that has left its traces in subjectivity and social processes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy providing a rigorous exploration of the logic of authoritarian neoliberalism, this book makes a major contribution to understanding an ideology that is increasingly shaping our social and political world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eForeword – Judith Butler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: How To Read Contemporary Neoliberalism?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1: Neoliberalism's Inflections and the Triumph of the Punitive Imagination\u003cbr\u003eFrom \"the Cultural Turn\" to the \"Authoritarian Turns\"\u003cbr\u003ePunishment as ideology\u003cbr\u003eThe community of punishment\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 2: Cruel Freedom\u003cbr\u003eNeoliberalism and de-autonomy\u003cbr\u003eValences of anti-intellectualism\u003cbr\u003eFrom cynicism to cruelty\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 3: Is The Critique of Ideology Obsolete?\u003cbr\u003eMarxian mythologiques\u003cbr\u003eUpholding dissonance\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 4: Paradoxes of Autonomy (and Its Critique): Judith Butler and Theodor Adorno\u003cbr\u003eMinima Moralia, again\u003cbr\u003eAmbiguous fragility\u003cbr\u003eToward a dialectic of autonomy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 5: Neoliberal Sensibilities \u003cbr\u003eLate capitalism and models of justice \u003cbr\u003eConservative deregulation: \"the Neoliberal Frankenstein\"\u003cbr\u003eNeoliberal sensibilities in 21st century Argentina\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 6: Authoritarian Neoliberalism and the National Question\u003cbr\u003eFrom the picaresque to sadomasochistic joy\u003cbr\u003eBetween submission and fauna: neocolonialism and de-historicization\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 7: Dialectic of the University\u003cbr\u003eUniversities and neoliberalism\u003cbr\u003eThe Argentine free public university: estrangement or radical critique?\u003cbr\u003eThe university and the critique of the present\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 8: Spectrology of the Right\u003cbr\u003eWhat remains\u003cbr\u003eRight reloaded\u003cbr\u003eCultural revolution and authoritarian sensibilities\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 9: Chainsaw Capitalism: The Milei Moment\u003cbr\u003ePolitical responses to the crisis of neoliberal capitalism: from order to disinhibition\u003cbr\u003eAgitation without utopia, anti-intellectualism and affective exploitation\u003cbr\u003eWalls and chainsaws: Towards a critique of borderless authoritarianism\u003cbr\u003eThere is no neutrality in the \"globe\".
