It is concerned with the way anthropological critical writing in particular aims to weave oppositional concerns (anti-politics) with a search for alternatives (alter-politics): alternative economies, alternative modes of inhabiting and relating to the earth, alternative modes of thinking and experiencing otherness. If the book privileges alter-politics over oppositional politics, it is not because, as is made clear, the 'alter' moment is more important than the 'anti'. It is because a concern for alter-politics has been less prevalent.The question of 'political passion' is crucial in this conception of the alter-political. For the book argues that it is because radical political passion has been mostly directed towards anti-politics that it has come to dominate over alter-politics. This does not simply mean that political passion needs to be equally directed towards alter-politics. It also means that this passion itself needs to be a radically different kind of political passion once so directed. It is this 'alter-political passion' that I strive to create a space for throughout the work. - See more at: https://www.mup.com.au/items/153398#sthash.1jJNCsxE.dpuf. 606 $aPolitical science$xAnthropological aspects 606 $aPolitical sociology 606 $aAnthropology 606 $aPolitical psychology 615 0$aPolitical science$xAnthropological aspects. 615 0$aPolitical sociology. 615 0$aAnthropology. 615 0$aPolitical psychology. 676 $a306.2 700 $aHage$b Ghassan$0780021 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819615303321 996 $aAlter-politics$93960262 997 $aUNINA
