With contributions of major theorists in the fields of contemporary political philosophy, cultural studies and media studies, the chapters investigate the multiple contexts, possibilities and impasses of political withdrawal – from the radical to the seemingly mundane – and reflect a range of case studies varying from the political thinking of Debord, the Invisible Committee, Moten and Harney, feminist notions of ‘strike’ and ‘exit’, and indigenous forms of sabotage, to the individual retreat as means of reconfiguring political subjectivity. It looks at technological failure as disconnection from surveillance, and from alternative financial futures to contemporary ‘pharmako-politics.’ \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe volume provides a vital grip on a key notion in contemporary radical politics, in all its complexity, contradictions and tribulations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: Towards a Politics of Withdrawal?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePepita Hesselberth and Joost de Bloois\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCan the Internet be turned off?
