Introduction

This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book establishes the preliminary framework in order to understand the political predicament in contemporary society. It provides more general discussion by investigating how various political theories, such as liberalism, feminist ethics of care and post-anarchism, respond to today's political disenchantment. The book shows that their sense of agency is 'dissolved' in the movement and their desire has become indiscernible with that of others, which implies a possible ethico-political practice. It examines the dynamism of post-Fukushima activism. The book explores the nature of the knowledge obtained by studying activism. The chapter attempts to synthesise the knowledge implied by the post-Fukushima activism with new materialist and post-humanist theory and seeks new political imaginary for precarious bodies.
