The Undecidability of the Politics of Politics: On Geoffrey Bennington’s Scatter 1

Politica Común 12 (2018)

Abstract

In this paper, I consider the contribution of Geoffrey Bennington's book, _Scatter 1_, to the ongoing discussion of the political dimension of deconstruction. Focusing on the resonances between Bennington's "politics of politics" and the notion of infrapolitics, I suggest that Bennington's major contribution revolves around the introduction of undecidability into political action and thought.
