The symbolic and the impossible -- The subject of the simulacrum -- The media of the event -- The silent majorities and the democracy-to-come -- Conclusion: Beyond anti-politics

"Recent years have seen the rise of anti-politics as a political phenomenon but beyond this new rejection of the political class there has long existed, an albeit marginal, deeper challenge to the political itself. Identifying the work of Derrida as 'a politics' and that of Baudrillard as 'transpolitics' this book charts the convergences and divergences in their respective approaches. Among the topics treated are questions of the media and representation."--Back cover
