Books by Michael Clifford

In this book, Michael Clifford lays the groundwork for the formalization of political genealogy as a recognized methodology of theoretical inquiry. Appealing to scholars from a wide range of academic disciplines in the social sciences and the humanities, this book looks to our future by focusing on the history of our present and on what being a political subject will be like in a post-representational world.

This new work in political theory and cultural studies offers a radically new understanding of political freedom. It combines the most powerful elements of Foucault's work to explore the genesis of modern political identity.
