Metamodern Intrusions for the Restoration of Agency

Abstract

The arguments put forward in this brief article seek to challenge those places of social enunciation, production and reproduction that have been discursively co-opted with the aim of perpetuating a certain type of subjective alienation and its consequent political ineffectiveness. Following tropes taken from metamodern readings in the field of politics, epistemology and sociology, as well as intuitions and notions from psychoanalytic clinical cases discussed at length in fields of transference and discussion between analysts and analysands, the question that structures the following writing is the following: where has political agency gone? What has been institutionalized in its place? How can this critical dimensionality be recovered?
