Kluge and Negt’s History and Obstinacy' is a breathtaking archaeology of the labor power that has been cultivated in the human body over the last 2,000 years. Supplementing classical political economy with the insights of fields ranging from psychoanalysis and phenomenology to evolutionary anthropology and systems theory, History and Obstinaccy examines the complex ecology of expropriation and resistance as it reaches down into the deepest strata of unconscious thought, genetic memory, and cellular life. It is one of the most ambitious German theoretical constructions since the Second World War and an extraordinary, unsettling, and paradoxical journey through history and the construction of subjectivity, the pedagogies of labor, and the ceaseless struggles and coalitions between affect and habit.
