From anti-politics to the event: the anarchism of the evental bodies

Abstract

The event, that breaks with the established order, within the states of things with stable representations, can only arise from a post-foundational view of politics, which is not a condominium management of beings from the perspective of mediatizated biopowers, but the emergence of a voice for the voiceless, of the people from the differential demands that at first did not dialogue. The materialist theory of communication presented here emerges from a basic antagonism, a negativity of the instinctual order that circulates in a tensive field from which the parts search in a performative way, while struggling for recognition (Honneth) and visibility, the emergence of disruptive events (Badiou). How can discourses on radical democracy be constituted in this perspective outside the corrupt heralds of the traditional system? How at the moment of the event do anarchist bodies emerge, ready to dive into the process of truth that begins there? In terms of a logic of affections or passions, the path of politics is made from fear to joy, from retention to liberation/emancipation. It is in this direction that we will think of communication as the tensive field of emergency for evental performative policy
