Crowds and Party
Crowds and Party channels the energies of the riotous crowds who took to the streets in the past five years into an argument for the political party. Rejecting the emphasis on individuals and multitudes, Jodi Dean argues that we need to rethink the collective subject of politics. When crowds appear in spaces unauthorized by capital and the state—such as in the Occupy movement in New York, London and across the world—they create a gap of possibility. But too many on the Left remain stuck in this beautiful moment of promise—they argue for more of the same, further fragmenting issues and identities, rehearsing the last thirty years of left-wing defeat. In Crowds and Party, Dean argues that previous discussions of the party have missed its affective dimensions, the way it operates as a knot of unconscious processes and binds people together. Dean shows how we can see the party as an organization that can reinvigorate political practice.

Comrade
In the twentieth-century millions of people across the globe addressed each other as "comrade". Now, it’s more common to hear talk of "allies" on the left than it is of comrades. In Comrade, Jodi Dean insists that this shift exemplifies the key problem with the contemporary left: the substitution of political identity for a relation of political belonging that must be built, sustained, and defended.In Comrade, Dean offers a theory of the comrade. Comrades are equals on the same side of a political struggle. Voluntarily coming together in the struggle for justice, their relationship is characterised by discipline, joy, courage, and enthusiasm. Considering the generic egalitarianism of the comrade in light of differences of race and gender, Dean draws from an array of historical and literary examples such as Harry Haywood, C.L.R James, Alexandra Kollontai, and Doris Lessing. She argues that if we are to be a left at all, we have to be comrades.

Genossen!
Jodi Dean schreibt die bislang fehlende Theorie des Genossen und greift dabei auf viele kulturelle und historische Beispiele zurück, von Zetkin bis Obama, von Lubitsch bis Sartre. Sie ruft die Linken auf, die Möglichkeit spontaner, unorganisierter Veränderung aus dem Alltag heraus nicht zu überschätzen. Denn nur als Genossen vermögen wir in den Weltenlauf einzugreifen - und das ist in Zeiten des Neoliberalismus und Klimawandels dringender denn je.Der Begriff »Genosse« entstand im 16. Jahrhundert und bezeichnete zunächst Soldaten, die eine Baracke teilten. Im politischen Kontext ist er eine ebenso symbolische wie praktische Figur und bedeutet gleichermaßen Freude und Disziplin. Man muss sich nicht unbedingt mögen, um eine Ideologie zu teilen, gemeinsam zu handeln und sich solidarisch zu unterstützen.Genossen können allerdings auch zu schlimmsten Feinden werden, und viele ihrer Gemeinschaften münden in Resignation, Abdriften oder im Ausschluss. Aber bestenfalls können sie große Kraft und Enthusiasmus entfalten, jenseits von restriktiver Vereinnahmung.
