Synopsis

Theoretical Times is published in paperback and e-book by Emerald. It explores Theoretical Times, the description of the post-crash economic, environmental, political and cultural condition we live in today. As the rise of the right (Trump, Brexit etc) swarms the globe, leaving us wanting to stop the world and get off, what are the prospects for a resurrected theoretical politics of the left? Theoretical Times considers the work of theorists such as Alain Badiou and Slavoj Zizek, supplemented by Jean Baudrillard and Paul Virilio, in this much needed reinvention of theory.
