Description/Abstract: | Contemporary politics is in disarray. In Europe and North America, are we witnessing the termination of the “third-way” “depoliticisation” of politics as coterminous with the demise of neoliberalism? Or, the revelation of the brutal truth of this conjecture? Emerging from these specific socio-political constellations appears, at first sight, to be forms of both left and right populism, in which borders are given primacy ahead of markets, and ethnocentrism at the expense of global trade. Do these movements suggest that new forms of collective action are possible, in ways that were actively prevented by neoliberalism’s construction of the individual-as-entrepreneur? Or, are these new political conditions going to produce novel forms of isolation as our current political common sense is replaced with new forms of subjectivity, social relations and cultural norms? |
