Thinking the 'Political'

This collection explores the role of political theory, literature and practice in transforming our understanding of ‘politics’ and ‘the political’ in the contemporary world. In recent years, dominant definitions of ‘politics’ have increasingly been questioned. Featuring work from a range of disciplines, including philosophy, literary studies and political theory, the collection explores the following questions: What is ‘the political’? Which aspects of life, and kinds of activity, count as ‘political’ today? How do new and diverse modes of political contestation challenge established ways of defining and doing politics? In short, what does it mean to ‘think the political’ today?
