Description
"A bold, challenging and provocative analysis of how we have moved from a society governed by rules to one governed by norms. Building on work by Georges Canguilhem and Michel Foucault, this is a fundamental challenge to normative political theory."
Stuart Elden, University of Warwick
"The pressure to be normal has a long history. But, as Mark Kelly reveals in this sharp and exciting book, normality has undergone a mutation in recent years whereby, to come across as normal, we also have to refuse normality. How, then, could we ever escape norms?"
Carl Cederström, author of
The Wellness Syndrome
