Description

'The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born; in this interregnum a great variety of morbid symptoms appear' - Antonio GramsciIs New Zealand's political settlement beginning to fray?  And does this mean we're entering the interregnum, that ambiguous moment between society-wide discontent and political change?  In BWB's latest book of essays, edited by Morgan Godfery, ten of New Zealand's sharpest emerging thinkers gather to debate the 'morbid symptoms' of the current moment, from precarious work to climate change, and to discuss what shape change might take, from 'the politics of love' to postcapitalism.  The Interregnum interrogates the future from the perspective of the generation who will shape it.
