Omschrijving
Infused with a contagious enthusiasm and optimism that never ignores the grim reality of our present, Poetry from the Future is a radical call for action. The perfect medicine for left-wing melancholia.—Alfonso Cuarón
Ambiguous histories, temporal framings that do not follow standard epochs, unexpected combinations of events, are just some of the surprises and unsettlements that Srecko Horvat gives us in this radically original book.—Saskia Sassen, author of EXPULSIONS
These captivating reflections lead us on a journey, painful and inspiring, from the first moments of liberation of Europe from fascist jackboots to the resistance taking form today to the stultifying current occupation of capitalist cultural hegemony and internalized controls. The culmination is a call "to project the spirit of this past struggle into the future" in order to create "a new nonaligned movement against capital" - a compelling vision, an urgent necessity, and not beyond reach.—Noam Chomsky
A charismatic Croatian philosopher—Oliver Stone
One of the most exciting voices of his generation—Das Freitag
Thank fuck Horvat has taken it upon himself to create new worlds—VICE
The young Croatian philosopher Srecko Horvat is just as much a doer as a thinker. He is searching for 'the poetry from the future' with impetuous energy—Filosofie Magazine
