The Persistence of the Negative de Benjamin Noys

The Persistence of the Negative

Autor Benjamin Noys
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 mar 2012 – vârsta de la 22 ani

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

The Persistence of the Negative is a compelling critique of contemporary continental theory. It contests the tendency of recent theory to rely on affirmation, and especially an affirmative thinking of resistance. Through a series of incisive readings of leading theoretical figures of this affirmationism - Jacques Derrida, Gilles Deleuze, Bruno Latour, Antonio Negri, and Alain Badiou - this book reveals a profound current of negativity that allows theory to return to its political calling. It is essential reading for anyone concerned with continental theory and its relation to left politics.

Benjamin Noys is Reader in English at the University of Chichester. He is the author of Georges Bataille: A Critical Introduction (2000) and The Culture of Death (2005).

Recenzii

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.
