Aperturas Al Pensamiento Posfundacional

This book brings together the prefaces--revised and updated--to the volumes published in the Post-foundational Political Thought series. Enriched with new texts and a foreword by Olivier Marchart, this volume urges us to problematize the present state of our liberal and neoliberal democracies through the perspectives offered by thinkers such as Badiou, Foucault, and Agamben, among others. Post-foundational political thought is an intellectual tradition essential for grappling with the crisis of our system of representation, as well as with the possibility of new forms of life and organization--forms that remain ever vigilant regarding the structural violence inherent in the very foundations that legitimize them.
