{"product_id":"the-politics-of-not-speaking-9798855801149","title":"The Politics of Not Speaking","description":"According to a common conception, modern politics is based on speaking, on discussion and rational argumentation--on \"logos.\" In contrast, \u003ci\u003eThe Politics of Not Speaking\u003c\/i\u003e argues that politics is based not on speaking but on the suspension of conversation, on the break of rational discourse, on \"logoclasm\"--on politics of not speaking. Elad Lapidot presents the notion of politics as logoclasm through readings of five canonic thinkers of the twentieth century: Carl Schmitt, Martin Heidegger, Frantz Fanon, Gayatri Spivak, and Jacques Derrida. Tracing the development of the politics of not speaking from the 1930s to the 1990s, he shows how the notion of logoclasm, the rupture of rational discussion, explains key notions in modern politics, such as sovereignty, law, the state, violence, war, race, colonialism, decolonization, and boycott, and sheds light on current debates concerning the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement and the Gaza war.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elad Lapidot\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e State University of New York Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 129\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798855801149","brand":"State University of New York Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43293839851657,"sku":"9798855801149","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_ac447bdd-713f-4c03-b0bc-2f79006b1d60.jpg?v=1737444324","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/the-politics-of-not-speaking-9798855801149","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
