Within the cultures of late capitalism and the organisational matrices of bio-political administration, that space is no longer animated by images of idealised states that are yet to come, or by a sense of simple failure in the production of those same states. Rather, it is overdetermined by a condition of differentiation in the representation of reality. The origins of that \u003ci\u003edifferentiation of representation\u003c\/i\u003e appear to lie deep within the modernist project. \u003ci\u003eIn the Place of Utopia\u003c\/i\u003e explores how that condition of representation might be animated anew by the \u003ci\u003ediscursive circuits\u003c\/i\u003e through which modernity has come to operate, so as to enliven the ability of transformative ideas to lever change from within a range of organic crises current to the world system: the financialisation of global capitalism; the subsumption of worker subjectivities to the logic of capital; the broadening of the metabolic rift through industrial-capitalism. Central to this animation of transformative ideas is the relationship between \u003ci\u003elanguage \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e the body\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents: Utopia: What is to be done? – Mapping utopia – Beyond the discursive space of utopia – Back toward totality – The psychic life of ideas – The seeds of times future – For the love of water – The subjectivising effects of discursive spaces – Anxieties of the utopian urge – The sublime object(s) of utopia.","brand":"Peter Lang AG, Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51043628515671,"sku":"9783034313032","price":69.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783034313032.jpg?v=1750958941","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/in-the-place-of-utopia-affect-and-transformative-ideas-9783034313032","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
