Abstract

In Unexceptional Politics: On Obstruction, Impasse, and the Impolitic, Emily Apter investigates and offers a vocabulary for 'the microphenomenology of political life' - ways of thinking the political in its ‘messier everyday guises’ that have hitherto seemed to elude conceptual grasp and intelligibility in political theory. This is an impressive mapping that brings together different phenomena and writings, resisting an easy analysis but responding poetically and urgently to the pressures of the present, recommends Lilly Markaki.
