Revolt, Donatella Di Cesare argues, “interrupts time, blows up the agenda of power, halts the routine of dispossession, and sends history off course.” In this defence of revolt in fragments, the anarchic conditions of politics are remembered and achingly defended. An essential addition to the inventory of political concepts.’\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJ. M.

From London to Hong Kong and from Buenos Aires to Beirut, protests flare up, in some cases spreading like wildfire, in other cases petering out and reigniting elsewhere. Not even the pandemic has been able to stop them: as many were reflecting on the loss of public space, the fuse of a fresh explosion was lit in Minneapolis with the brutal murder of George Floyd. We are living in an age of revolt.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBut what is revolt? It would be a mistake to think of it as simply an explosion of anger, a spontaneous and irrational outburst, as it is often portrayed in the media. Exploding anger is not a bolt from the blue but a symptom of a social order in which the sovereignty of the state has imposed itself as the sole condition of order. Revolt challenges the sovereignty of the state, whether it is democratic or despotic, exposing the violence that underpins it. Revolt upsets the agenda of power, interrupts time, throws history into disarray. The time of revolt, discontinuous and intermittent, is also a revolt of time, an anarchic transition to a space of time that disengages itself from the architecture of politics.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis brilliant reflection on the nature and significance of revolt will be of interest to students of politics and philosophy and to anyone concerned with the key questions of politics today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eThe Right to Breathe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Constellation of Revolts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Between Politics and Police\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Occupations: From the Factories to the Squares\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Bella ciao: Notes of Resistance\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A Spectral Era\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In Search of the Lost Revolution\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e What Does Revolt Mean?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Individual’s Cry – And the Wounds of History\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Spartacus’s Day After Tomorrow\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Limits of Public Space\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Right to Appear\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A Volte-Face on Power\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Prefigurations\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e An Existential Tension\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e If Dissent is a Crime\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The New Disobedients\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Anonymous’s Grin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e On Invisibility: A Show of Self-Concealment\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Masks and Zones of Irresponsibility\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Leaks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Resident Foreigners: The Anarchist Revolt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Barricades in Time\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Bibliography\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":52441808994584,"sku":"9781509548385","price":31.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781509548385.jpg?v=1785026389","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-time-of-revolt-hardback-9781509548385","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
