The Excessive Subject: A New Theory of Social Change

by Molly Anne Rothenberg

Book Overview

The author uncovers an innovative theory of social change implicit in the work of social theorists such as Bourdieu, de Certeau, Butler, Laclau, and Slavoj Zizek. Based on an ineradicable excess in the social field, this theory transforms current views of subject formation, democratic interaction, and the ethics of alterity.
