Description: A timely book addressing the burning concerns of our times from the excesses of capitalism to the global crisis of leadership. There is widespread agreement across a voluble political spectrum and around the planet that we live in times of intensifying insecurity and turmoil. If ours is an age of transition its direction is anything but certain. Momentous transformations in ecology geopolitics and everyday life are shadowed by a suffocating sense of stasis. The limits to capital and the limits of nature are entangled in frightful ways while the profoundly obsolete form of leadership domination and conflict exacerbate an already baleful situation. And yet struggles for liberation have not been quelled. Terms of Disorder confronts this moment by probing some of the defining terms in the modern vocabulary of emancipation with the aim of testing their capacity to name and orient collective action set on abolishing the present state of things. Ranging from communism to leadership the eleven keywords addressed in this book provide a set of interlocking points of entry into the common task of forging a political language capable of navigating our disorientation. If as Gramsci famously noted the interregnum is a time when the new struggles to be born while the old order is moribund we may wish to heed Cedric Robinson's call to choose wisely among the dying.
