'This essay, which is deeply indebted to the approach set out by Luc Boltanski and Ève Chiapello in The New Spirit of Capitalism and taken up by Nancy Fraser in her commanding “Feminism, Capitalism, and the Cunning of History,” aims to interrogate certain notions of radical political practice and the theoretical models that might be derived from them in the context of post-Fordist, neoliberal economics and the ubiquitous informatic culture that is tightly bound up with it.'
