Overview
Logics of Failed Revolt uses the events of May '68 as a historical touchstone for examining the political ramifications of that body of literary philosophical, and psychoanalytic work we in America have come to know as French theory. More precisely, it explores the strategically central role, within theoretical discourse of the period largely defined by May '68, of a constellation of commonplace 'explanations' for the necessary failure of established modes of revolutionary action, and hence of the widespread perception of politics proper as a dead end.Book Details
