About this event
Anton Jäger & William Davies: Hyperpolitics What happens when politics is everywhere, but nothing seems to change? Viral outrage gives rise to causes that flare and disappear seemingly overnight. In his bestselling dissection of our troubled and troubling times Hyperpolitics (Verso), Anton Jäger, lecturer in the history of political thought and theory at University College, Oxford shows how the promises of post-Cold War liberalism gave way to a restless, unsteady public sphere where private passions overflow into politics but rarely build enduring power. Jäger will be in conversation with William Davies, regular LRB contributor and author of This Is Not Normal and Nervous States .

If this is your kind of night, these are other ways in: a collection this venue belongs to, traditions it works in, and similar talks still playing in London this week.
This venue’s world
This venue sits in the collection, not this one title.
Traditions this room works in
Tags on the venue. Other London rooms carry the same lineage. Not a claim that this film invented the tradition.
Also playing this week
Same kind of night (talks) in London. Spread across the week, not a ranking.
A different kind of night
Same city and close on taste. A different discipline, on purpose.
