The Actuality of Communism |
One of the rising stars of
contemporary critical theory, Bruno Bosteels discusses the new currents
of thought generated by figures such as Alain Badiou, Jacques Rancière
and Slavoj Žižek, who are spearheading the revival of interest in
communism. Bosteels examines this resurgence of communist thought
through the prism of “speculative leftism”—an incapacity to move beyond
lofty abstractions and thoroughly rethink the categories of masses,
classes and state. Debating those questions with writers including
Roberto Esposito and Alberto Moreiras, Bosteels also provides a vital
account of the work of the Bolivian Vice President and thinker Alvaro
García Linera.
