The Survival Regime

Global War and the Political

Beschreibung

Through a critical dialogue with various contemporary thinkers (Galli, Hardt and Negri, Esposito, Agamben, Derrida, and Schmitt, among others), Edgar Illas theorizes survival as a global logic that overcomes the links between life and power explained by the Foucauldian paradigm of biopolitics.

Rezensionen

"What does it mean to survive today under global capitalism and global war? In this thoughtfully argued book, Edgar Illas takes up that challenge by examining how living bodies and institutions struggle for existence while at the same time producing forms of life able to withstand the drift of state of protection. Across a series of acute readings of political violence, Illas defines survival as the central question of our time, a necessary step to becoming active and miliant. The Surivival Regime urgently responds to boundless war at the end of the world." - Timothy Campbell, Department of Romance Studies, Cornell University.
