En savoir plus sur le livre

The era of post-politics is over. The return of politics is evident as debates around issues like COVID-19 and "wokeness" have spilled beyond Twitter, confirmed by those who have experienced intense arguments in private. After a time of post-politics, characterized by technocratic management while citizens commented from their sofas, we now face a pervasive trembling and upheaval. Anton Jäger coined the term "hyperpolitics" to describe this phenomenon. He also notes that waves of outrage rarely translate into collective action: the politicization has little political consequence. This, according to Jäger's exploration of 150 years of democratic history, is a result of a situation marked by digital loneliness, where people are no longer involved in the political process through mass organizations.
