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\u003eThe Constellation of Revolts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBetween Politics and Police\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOccupations: From the Factories to the Squares\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBella ciao: Notes of Resistance\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Spectral Era\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Search of the Lost Revolution\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat Does Revolt Mean?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Individual’s Cry – And the Wounds of History\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpartacus’s Day After Tomorrow\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Limits of Public Space\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Right to Appear\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Volte-Face on Power\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrefigurations\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn Existential Tension\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf Dissent is a Crime\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe New Disobedients\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnonymous’s Grin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn Invisibility: A Show of Self-Concealment\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMasks and Zones of Irresponsibility\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLeaks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eResident Foreigners: The Anarchist Revolt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBarricades in Time\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBibliography\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNotes\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":52173825409304,"sku":"9781509548392","price":13.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781509548392.jpg?v=1781173698","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-time-of-revolt-paperback-softback-9781509548392","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
