FOUR ESSAYS ON THE REVOLUTIONARY SUBJECT by Benjamin Studebaker (Digital Only)

A revolutionary situation can only be revolutionary if there are revolutionary subjects, and these are in short supply. On the one hand, resentment and frustration with the political system are spreading. On the other hand, the political imaginarium remains restricted. Few can imagine an alternative system for which they’d be willing to die. In essays on the army, citizenship, and the universities, Benjamin Studebaker explores how the state manages its subjects in this challenging context, conceding the proliferation of critique whilst preventing critique from generating revolutionary subjectivity.
