Description for The Persistence of the Negative Paperback. The Persistence of the Negative offers an original and compelling critique of contemporary Continental theory through a rehabilitation of the negative. Num Pages: 208 pages. BIC Classification: HPCF; HPJ; HPS. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 157 x 234 x 12. Weight in Grams: 312.
Through a series of incisive readings of leading theoretical figures of affirmationism -- Jacques Derrida, Gilles Deleuze, Bruno Latour, Antonio Negri and Alain Badiou -- Benjamin Noys contests the tendency of recent theory to rely on affirmation, and especially an affirmative thinking of resistance. He reveals a profound current of negativity that allows theory to return to its political calling.
