Political impasse is often viewed as a moment in which no clear-cut delineation of power exists, resulting in an overwhelming sense of frustration or feeling stuck in a no-win situation. The new globalised world has produced a real shift in how power works: not only has power been concentrated in the hands of very few while many millions become more oppressed by radical shortages and growing costs, but we also have a new category of political subjectivity in which many find themselves neither rulers nor radically oppressed. Those who live the neither\/nor of contemporary power live the new global impasse. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor those of us who are stuck and compelled to wait for dominant power to break, this book uncovers possibilities in thought, imagination, and self-appropriation through \u003ci\u003eoikeiosis\u003c\/i\u003e, that is, making oneself at home in oneself, and constancy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Antonio Calcagno\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350268518\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350268517\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/27\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.47d","brand":"Antonio Calcagno","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44079790850303,"sku":"9781350268517","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_435f8cac-c4a9-4f88-b695-d635236e4dda.jpg?v=1685483160","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/on-political-impasse-antonio-calcagno-9781350268517","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
