Description
"I know Rousselle for years as a very serious theoretician, but now he did something quite unexpected: he collected in a single volume his transcribed live interventions. The effect is nothing less than miraculous: a flow of engaged thinking, an often polemical dialogue, to be read coldly like one reads pure theory. Eternal thought, its deepest insights, transpire in the dynamic of intellectual life and its struggles. Green life and grey theory are thus no longer opposed: theory itself becomes green, part of life. A book that will not just teach you a lot – you will literally enjoy it!" -Slavoj Zizek
"Duane Rousselle’s latest book marks a genuine breakthrough for thinking through the relationship between psychoanalysis and politics. It allows us to grasp how we might think anarchism in terms of psychoanalysis, which marks its singular contribution. Since the book contains writings that were originally spoken, it is not only extremely accessible but also completely engaging. While reading, one has the sense of participating in a fascinating conversation that one hopes will never end. Absolutely not to be missed." -Todd McGowan
"This is a series of interventions from one of the most exciting psychoanalytic thinkers around today. Rousselle has taught us to think about radical politics and psychoanalysis in new and original ways. By bringing these fields of activity and investigation together he illuminates new paths forward while also pointing out the pitfalls and difficulties of revolutionary politics. These lectures are like the seminars of a new Lacan - full of wit, theoretical rigor and brilliant insights. His provocations tantalize us and turn us all into political hysterics. ‘What you want is another Master’? No, what you want is another Rousselle!" -Saul Newman
