A new salvo in Verso's burgeoning series on communism,
after Badiou, Zizek and Groys.One of the rising stars of contemporary critical theory, Bruno
Bosteels discusses the new currents of thought generated by figures
such as Alain Badiou, Jacques Rancière and Slavoj Zizek, theorists
spearheading the revival of interest in communism. Bosteels
discovers a vital break with “speculative leftism”—incapable as it
is of moving beyond lofty abstractions—that reconceptualizes the
categories of masses, classes and state.
