Produktbeschreibung
This book makes a case for infrapolitics as an enactment of intellectual responsibility in the face of a tumultuous world of war and of technological value extraction on a planetary scale. Infrapolitical Passages proposes to clear a way through some of the dominant political determinations and violent symptoms of contemporary globalization. In doing so, Gareth Williams makes a case for infrapolitics as an enactment of intellectual responsibility in the face of a tumultuous world of war and of technological value extraction on a planetary scale. The book offers a theory of globalization as a gigantic, directionless crisis in humanity's symbolic organization, as well as a theory of global economic warfare as the very positing of directionlessness and, at the same time, facticity. Williams's infrapolitics stands at a distance from the biopolitical, which it understands as domination presenting itself as the production of specific forms of subjectivity in the face of the commodity. The subsequent obscuring of being signals the need to circumvent the instrumentalization of life as subordination to the metaphysics of subjectivity, representation, and politics. Infrapolitical Passages works to confront that which is unavailable in subjectivity and representation, opening a way for facticity in the age of globalization in order to make room for the infrapolitical question for existence.

Autorenporträt
Gareth has spent 27 years in international finance working in countries as geographically distant as Australia from Finland and Brazil from Japan; as culturally diverse as Armenia to Qatar, Norway to Indonesia; and as politically polarised as the USA and China.After a conventional career path clicking through the achievement turnstiles of an economics degree, an accounting qualification with one of the big four and 22 years in a global bank, the persistent insistence on conformity of thought was finally too much to bear. Defiance overcame compliance.Gareth realised he had to be true to his belief in human action. He ditched his career as a managing director at a bank in Hong Kong, moved with his family to Australia and is now seeking to follow his passions through his actions of teaching and writing - ideally, teaching through writing.
