Description: What happens when politics is everywhere, yet nothing seems to change? From the abandoned dance floors of Thatcher\'s London to the mass mobilizations of Black Lives Matter, Anton Jäger traces how public life has become infused with protest, spectacle, and moral urgency - while the old infrastructure of parties, unions, and civic solidarity has been hollowed out.
Hyperpolitics revisits the illusions of the \"end of history\" and dissects the strange energies that replaced them: viral outrage, endless culture wars, and the digital rush of causes that flare and vanish overnight. Jäger shows how the promises of post-Cold War liberalism gave way to a restless, unsteady public sphere where private passions overflow into politics but rarely build enduring power.
Ranging from Guy Debord and Wolfgang Tillmans to Houellebecq\'s disenchanted fictions, Hyperpolitics makes sense of a world in which collective action remains fragmented and the social fabric thinner than ever. For anyone trying to grasp why our age feels so charged yet so inconsequential, this book offers a vital map through the new contradictions of our hyperpolitical moment.
