In doing so, Gareth Williams makes a case for \u003ci\u003einfrapolitics\u003c\/i\u003e as an enactment of intellectual responsibility in the face of a tumultuous world of war and of technological value extraction on a planetary scale. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book offers a theory of globalization as a gigantic, directionless crisis in humanity’s symbolic organization, as well as a theory of global economic warfare as the very positing of directionlessness and, at the same time, facticity. Williams’s infrapolitics stands at a distance from the biopolitical, which it understands as domination presenting itself as the production of specific forms of subjectivity in the face of the commodity. The subsequent obscuring of being signals the need to circumvent the instrumentalization of life as subordination to the metaphysics of subjectivity, representation, and politics. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eInfrapolitical Passages\u003c\/i\u003e works to confront that which is unavailable in subjectivity and representation, opening a way for facticity in the age of globalization in order to make room for the infrapolitical question for existence.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gareth Williams","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48282804551931,"sku":"9780823289882","price":132.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_8718c043-57a6-4b83-a964-9c47b367531c.jpg?v=1778613664","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/infrapolitical-passages-9780823289882","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
