Walker?considers?how Marcusean philosophies?might?challenge the way we think about space and politics, ?and create new sensibilities.?Applying them to?contemporary?geopolitics, digital infrastructure, and?issues?like resistance and immigration, the book shows how social change?has been?stifled, and how Marcuse's philosophies could provide the tools to overturn the status quo.?
She demonstrates Marcuse's relevance to?individuals and society, and finds this important theorist of opposition can point the way to resisting oppressive forces within contemporary capitalism.
