Infrapolitics
Fordham University Press (Verlag)
978-0-8232-9836-5 (ISBN)
In this book, Alberto Moreiras describes a form of thought aiming to provide content for a form of life and to offer a new theoretical practice for concrete existence. The book provides a genealogy of the notion of infrapolitics and places it within contemporary philosophical reflection, examining its deployment in the wake of postphenomenology and deconstruction, Lacanian analysis, the principle of anarchy, and an egalitarian symbolization of social life. In doing so, Moreiras elaborates Infrapolitics as both a general critique of the political apparatus and as an imperative horizon for existential self-understanding.
Alberto Moreiras is Professor of Hispanic Studies at Texas A&M University. He is the author of The Exhaustion of Difference: The Politics of Latin American Cultural Studies (Duke University Press, 2001), Against Abstraction: Notes from an Ex–Latin Americanist (University of Texas Press, 2020), Sosiego siniestro (Guillermo Escolar, 2020), and Tercer espacio y otros relatos (SPLASH, 2021).
