About this listen

Craig and Adam are joined by Idris Robinson to ask the question of destituent revolt in a murderous and counter-revolutionary world. We discussed Idris' work on the nature of martyrdom, the relation of the insurgent to death, and the political meaning of duty, both to the dead and within the confines of an intolerable life. Reading from Idris latest book, The Revolt Eclipses Whatever the World has to Offer, out this November from Semiotext(e), we unpack the meaning of destituent or "de-institutionalising" power, and the prospects for a theory of uprisings which refuse the restablishment of the very powers they aim to destroy.
