The Political Sociology and Anthropology of Evil: Tricksterology

de Agnes Horvath, Arpad Szakolczai ...

Series series Contemporary Liminality
This book offers a new approach to the problem of evil through an examination of the anthropological figure of the ‘trickster’. A lesser known and much more recent term than evil, the authors use the trickster to facilitate a greater understanding of the return of evil in the modern era. Instead of simply opposing ‘good’ and ‘evil’, the figure of the trickster is used to pursue the trajectories of ... Leer más

Liminal Politics in the New Age of Disease

Technocratic Mimetism

Edición de Agnes Horvath, Paul O'Connor ...

Series series Contemporary Liminality
Liminal Politics in the New Age of Disease explores the phenomenon of ‘liminal politics’: an open-ended ‘state of exception’ in which normal rules no longer apply, and things which were previously unimaginable become possible – even appearing remarkably quickly to represent a ‘new normal’. With attention to the emergency measures introduced to counter the spread of Covid-19, it shows how the ... Leer más

Political Alchemy: Technology Unbounded

de Agnes Horvath ...

Series series Contemporary Liminality
This book explores politics as a form of alchemy, understood as the transformation of entities through an alteration of their identities. Identifying this process as a common denominator of many political phenomena, such as EU integration, mediatisation, communism or globalisation, the author demonstrates not only the widespread presence of alchemical techniques in politics, but also the ...

Modern Leaders: Between Charisma and Trickery

Edición de Agnes Horvath, Arpad Szakolczai, Manussos Marangudakis ...

Series series Contemporary Liminality
This book considers the current striking rise of ‘outsider’ political leaders, catapulted, apparently, from nowhere, to take charge of a nation. Arguing that such leaders can be better understood with the help of the anthropologically based concept of ‘the trickster’, it offers studies of contemporary political figures from the world stage – including Presidents Macron, Tsipras, Orbán and ...

Varieties of Liminality

Edición de Agnes Horvath, Bjørn Thomassen, Harald Wydra ...

Liminality has the potential to be a leading paradigm for understanding transformation in a globalizing world. As a fundamental human experience, liminality transmits cultural practices, codes, rituals, and meanings in situations that fall between defined structures and have uncertain outcomes. Based on case studies of some of the most important crises in history, society, and politics, this ... Leer más
