A cultural and intellectual balance-sheet of the twentieth century's age of revolutions
This book reinterprets the history of nineteenth and twentieth-century revolutions by composing a constellation of dialectical images: Marx's locomotives of history, Alexandra Kollontai's sexually liberated bodies, Lenin's mummified body, Auguste Blanqui's barricades and red flags, the Paris Commune's demolition of the Vendome Column, among several others. It connects theories with the existential trajectories of the thinkers who elaborated them, by sketching the diverse profiles of revolutionary intellectuals--from Marx and Bakunin to Luxemburg and the Bolsheviks, from Mao and Ho Chi Minh to José Carlos Mariátegui, C.L.R. James, and other rebellious spirits from the South--as outcasts and pariahs. And finally, it analyzes the entanglement between revolution and communism that so deeply shaped the history of the twentieth century. This book thus merges ideas and representations by devoting an equal importance to theoretical and iconographic sources, offering for our troubled present a new intellectual history of the revolutionary past.

读着挺爽的,也算是对前十几年革命思想史研究的一个总和的成果。作者没有单独讨论革命的暴力,而是把暴力内化于讨论革命的文本当中。讨论人民的两个身体(不朽的代表“革命”本身的列宁和凡胎的列宁)的那部分在赛果左哲⭕里炒作下估计也能当新的网红文格式()对苏联热月和斯大林主义的偶然与必然的讨论也是我目前看到的比较满意的,作者对前几十年的讨论的总结把握比较好,起码我觉得是比科特金强。
