The Persistence of the Negative: A Critique of Contemporary Continental Theory de Benjamin Noys

The Persistence of the Negative: A Critique of Contemporary Continental Theory

Autor Benjamin Noys
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 12 sep 2010 – vârsta de la 22 ani
"In this bold and original book, Benjamin Noys rethinks the role of the negative in both ontology and political practice. His critical revaluations of familiar figures from recent European thought move in surprising new directions. They have forced me to reconsider much that I thought I knew."--Steven Shaviro, Wayne State University.This compelling critique of contemporary continental theory contests the tendency to rely on affirmation, especially affirmative thinking of resistance, through incisive readings of leading theoretical figures of affirmationism: Derrida, Deleuze, Latour, Negri and Badiou. Benjamin Noys uncovers a profound current of negativity that allows theory to return to its political calling. His work is essential for anyone concerned with continental theory and its relation to the political left.

In this bold and highly original book, Benjamin Noys rethinks the role of the negative in both ontology and political practice. His critical revaluations of familiar figures in recent European thought move in surprising new directions; they have forced me to reconsider much that I thought I knew. -- Steven Shaviro, DeRoy Professor of English, Wayne State University Benjamin Noys' brilliant and wide-ranging new book is a timely reminder that no revolutionary and egalitarian approach to politics and philosophy can afford to overlook the disruptive "labour of the negative", or to neglect the active contribution that contradiction and antagonism make to a critique of actually-existing forms of domination on the one hand and a renewal of emancipatory agency on the other. -- Peter Hallward, Professor of Modern European Philosophy, Middlesex University Noys' thesis has the virtue of being, once formulated as tightly and consistently as is done here, both original and completely self-evident. It is a thesis that will define, I hope, polemics around and among the factions and currents in contemporary thought for years to come. Theory & Event It is a strong argument ... communicated philosophically rather than politically, for dialectics, critique and contradiction... it is a progressive argument that arises not out of pure philosophising but out of the necessity to rescue emancipatory critique and agency from the recuperation by state and capital. Shift Magazine Noys' text constitutes a vital contribution to a resurrection of the negative as key to thinking political antagonism and will set a precedent for the decisive status of thinking the negative in the present. More importantly, perhaps, it is also an injunction to thinking political antagonism again, to a return to the level of form in order to address real abstraction in a way that is foreclosed by a prevailing affirmationist culture.
