The Militant Historian: The Concept of History in the Work of Alain Badiou

English

By (author): Dr Kerry William Purcell

This is the first wide-ranging analysis of Alain Badious use, development and transformation of the concept of history. Despite the wealth of perspectives now available on how social and cultural practices take shape, historicism still appears to be the most dominant. The Militant Historian examines this primacy and reveals how Badious work offers a radical riposte.
Exploring key texts in Badious oeuvre and how his philosophical ideas disrupt dominant conceptions of history and the role of the historian, Kerry William Purcell addresses how these ideas could transform our approaches to the historical and what it means to do history as a meaningful endeavour. Adopting a chronological approach to Badious work, each chapter explores specific conceptual developments in his writing and how they lend themselves to a reconsideration of the subject who speaks history. From these new and disruptive modes of doing emerges the figure of the militant historian a role with the potential to impact how we practice history outside the narrow strictures of academic life.
