Starting from the historic defeat of the global Revolution in the mid-1970s, this book draws a portrait--whose elaboration is still lacking--of the concept of revolution. What conditions could lead us to speak of revolution once again? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Intolerable Present, the Urgency of Revolution\u003c\/i\u003e, Maurizio Lazzarato ponders the fundamental importance of the passage from the historical class struggle (the conflict between capital and labor) to the more recent class struggles that open onto plural trajectories: social, sexual, gender, and race struggles. Expanding the notion of class as a rejoinder to the normative appropriation of minority politics, the revolution is returned as the horizon where subjection can be resorbed. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this sense, Marxist, feminist, anticolonial, and postcolonial theories provide the necessary critical tools to understand the relations between classes and minorities, between the global North and the global South, and between the time of revolutions and the eruption of new subjectivities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Semiotext(e)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/25\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781635901818\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs","brand":"Maurizio Lazzarato","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42753413480629,"sku":"9781635901818","price":14.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_3e2c2657-e26b-42e6-8dbd-fd18dc85a013.jpg?v=1677594784","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-intolerable-present-the-urgency-of-revolution-minorities-and-classes-9781635901818","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
