She maps out how to understand their internal vectors (reactionary and emancipatory) rather than reinforcing their simple binarism. Moreover, here shines a precise and precious definition of the colonial as that which makes us distrust the knowledge of the body. For that, this book is also proposed as a practical manual, part of a collective task, which makes the decolonization of the unconscious an anti-fascist practice.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eVerónica Gago\u003c\/b\u003e,\u003cb\u003e feminist activist and Professor at the University of Buenos Aires\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the globalized regime of neoliberal capitalism consolidates its grip on the world, it refines the micropolitics proper to the capitalist system and makes it more perverse. This micropolitics involves the appropriation – what Suely Rolnik calls the “pimping” – of life, as it turns the life drive itself away from creation and cooperation and towards the deadening, destructive practice necessary for capital accumulation. This dynamic is the engine of what Rolnik calls the colonial-capitalistic unconscious regime. She also identifies the conditions necessary to fight against this regime – namely, a reappropriation of the life drive, the energetic basis at the heart of all life forms, human life included, and the principal source of extraction for capitalism.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDrawing on examples from across the Americas, including Brazil and the United States, Rolnik examines the circumstances that have given rise to regressive, reactionary governments throughout the world. These circumstances include, at the macro level, an alliance between neoliberalism and extreme conservatism and, at the micro level, a crisis of the hegemonic subject in the face of the emergent empowerment of marginalized communities that practice other modes of subjectivation.   \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis crucial book by one of the most prominent intellectuals in Latin America today will be of great value to anyone interested in contemporary politics and social struggles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction – Stefano Harney\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Prelude: Words Flowering Out of the Lumps in Our Throats\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e “Colonial-Capitalistic Unconscious”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Macro and Micropolitical Insurgency: Links and Dissimilarities\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The New Modality of Coup: A Series in Three Seasons\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Finale: Ten Suggestions for the Practice of Decolonizing the Unconscious\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Notes\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Philosophy [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Philosophy\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Philosophy%20%5BHP%5D%22\"\u003eHP\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":52441811976472,"sku":"9781509552856","price":39.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781509552856.jpg?v=1785026636","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/spheres-of-insurrection-notes-on-decolonizing-the-unconscious-hardback-9781509552856","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
