Description and Table of Contents
Description
This text aims to kindle flames of a critique that relentlessly gazes past the limits of being as we know it. It tries to open some or other horizon therein, encouraging, if successful, new life to escape. The promise is the exit, and it is most alluring precisely at those times where subjects feel constrained, ensnared. Directed as it is to critique and radical discourses on crime, the book selectively names that promise as justice. However, this is not just a justice that is ever deliverable as a present outcome; rather it is one that forever beckons, mirage like, from the elusive sands of the future. We calculate justice, and therefore the promise, fully realizing that the task is without end. We shall always have to bear witness, raise critical voices, in the name of life that is yet to come. The threshold of this opening contains an invitation to reformulate that critical voice, and so to regenerate anew the promise of justice, recalculated under postmodern conditions.
