Review
“The time for revolt is ‘now’. But one might also say that it is ‘always’. Only a philosopher (…) who breathes in the present day and is, at once, acquainted with history (not only the history of philosophy), could have drawn such a clear profile (…) in this her latest defiant and ‘scandalous’ book.”
Marco Revelli, TuttoLibri, La Stampa
“With a vision that innervates news with philosophy, after Resident Foreigners and Sulla vocazione politica della filosofia (On the Political Vocation of Philosophy), in Il tempo della rivolta (The Time of Revolt), Di Cesare continues to chart the route of radical thought – or rather, radically ‘other’ with respect to the corpus of western political thought. Moving bodies and redefining spaces. She asks us to follow her towards ‘another political philosophy’ because ‘political theory cannot limit itself to the forms of organisation of the polis without examining, debating a criticising the ways in which the polis is constituted ‘(…) In one small book (…) a big challenge.’”
L’Espresso
“She takes into consideration a white-hot issue in the global scenario on which in-depth reflection has yet to be developed.”
La Stampa
“This return of philosophy to politics in its highest sense is all the more necessary in an age like ours, in which real political ideologies have fallen apart. Which is why this book is so welcome!” Corrado Augias, bestselling author (I segreti del Vaticano. Storie, luoghi, personaggi di un potere millenario) and journalist (La Repubblica, L’Espresso, Panorama), on On the political vocation of philosophy

Description
Though it is marginalized by reflection and presented by media narratives as a chaotic, dark event, revolt is a red-hot theme in the contemporary global landscape. In this book, Donatella Di Cesare touches for the first time on its different political and philosophical aspects, offering a suggestive and timely portrayal of contemporary events. Like migration, revolt also allows us to glimpse what goes on “outside” — beyond the state-centric order, at the edges of the political architecture, surrounding the surveilled borders of public space. In a eulogy to revolt and its overturning of power, Di Cesare also delves into contiguous phenomena, the lost revolution — in the many senses of this expression — and resistance. The movements that occupy the city squares underline the decline of representation. But if they demand the right to appear and enter the public space, revolt goes beyond. Rather than accept the internal conflict, revolt puts into question the very framing of that space. There are many protagonists: from the new “disobedient” to those who practice anonymity online, from whistleblowers to those who declare themselves “invisible.” The Time of Revolt provides a political interpretation of the mask and speaks of “zones of irresponsibility”: to hide away in order to become visible is a challenge to a state that condemns any mask other than its own. It is a challenge to faceless financial power, to the disembodied economy that pays no heed to its own effects. It thus reveals the enormous asymmetry, brings to light the disparity of forces, denounces the planetary surveillance. The revolt is no ephemeral event, but rather an anarchic transition, fulfilled in liberation from the architecture of politics.
