Rather than regimes of borders and migration, its borders are sexism and racism, homo- and transphobia, colonialism and extractivism.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eIn the midst of the crises and threats to liberal democracy, Isabell Lorey develops a democracy in the present tense; one which breaks open political certainties and linear concepts of progress and growth. Her queer feminist political theory formulates a fundamental critique of masculinist concepts of the people, representation, institutions, and the multitude. In doing so, she unfolds an original concept of a presentist democracy based on care and interrelatedness, on the irreducibility of responsibilities--one which cannot be conceived of without social movements' past struggles and current practices.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Verso","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45029134991511,"sku":"9781839767333","price":2164.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781839767333.webp?v=1769203333","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/democracy-in-the-present-tense-a-queer-feminist-theory-9781839767333","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
