Toward a Feminist Lacanian Left
While traditional feminist readings on antagonism have pivoted around the sole axis of sex and/or gender, a broader and intersectional approach to antagonism is much needed; this book offers an innovative, feminist, and discursive reading on the Lacanian concept of sexual position as a way to problematize the concepts of political antagonism and political subjects. Can Lacanian psychoanalysis offer new grounds for feminist politics? This discursive mediation of Lacan's work presents a new theoretical framework upon which to articulate proposals for intersectional political theory. The first part of this book develops the theoretical framework, and the second part applies it to the constructi...

Dirty Girls Social Club, c'est une année de la vie mouvementée de six bad girls latinas, racontée successivement par chacune d'entre elles.

Quand six Bridget Jones mâtinées de Jennifer Lopez se rencontrent, le mélange est drôle, tendre et épicé !
From Liberal to Revolutionary Oaxaca
From Liberal to Revolutionary Oaxaca aims at finally setting Mexican history free of stereotypes about the southern state of Oaxaca, long portrayed as a traditional and backward society resistant to the forces of modernization and marginal to the Revolution. Chassen-López challenges this view of Oaxaca as a negative mirror image of modern Mexico, presenting in its place a much more complex reality. Her analysis of the confrontations between Mexican liberals’ modernizing projects and Oaxacan society, especially indigenous communal villages, reveals not only conflicts but also growing linkages and dependencies. She portrays them as engaging with and transforming each other in an ongoing process of contestation, negotiation, and compromise.
Política del malestar
¿Por qué demonios querría una persona de clase obrera votar a un partido que se opone a los servicios públicos? ¿Por qué elegimos vivir en ciudades que nos ofrecen trabajos precarios y malas condiciones de vida? Más a menudo de lo que nos gustaría, tomamos decisiones que nos hacen infelices o que nos reportan malestar. Tradicionalmente, este tipo de comportamientos se explican desde la lógica y la razón. Se pone a lo consciente y a la voluntad en el centro del argumentario, y se asume que estas contradicciones son el resultado de obligaciones y condiciones materiales o de la irracionalidad del individuo. Sin embargo, en Política del malestar se propone una óptica diferente: el ps...

Collective Movements and Emerging Political Spaces
Collective Movements and Emerging Political Spaces addresses the politics of new forms of collective movements, ranging from anti‐austerity protests to migrant struggles and anticolonial demonstrations. Drawing on examples from various countries, as well as struggles taking place across borders, this book traces the emergence of new practices of being political, described as ‘collective movements’. These represent something looser than a common identity – long held as necessary for a political struggle to cohere. They also suggest a different understanding of emancipation to the promise of transformation in time. By addressing various examples of ‘collective movements’, the chapt...
Viral Critique
This book brings together papers that employ postfoundational theory to critically investigate the social, political, economic and ecological dynamics and power structures that shaped Western democracies, non-Western societies and international politics during the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted not only social relations and personal lives across the globe, but also the landscape of postfoundational theory. Giorgio Agamben, one of its most prominent figures, attracted harsh criticism for his suggestion that the pandemic was nothing but an invented tool of state power. In the face of a collectively experienced emergency, it seemed tempting to forgo critical questioning in f...
