About this Event

What happens when politics is everywhere, yet nothing seems to change? From the abandoned dance floors of Thatcher’s London to the mass mobilizations of Black Lives Matter, Anton Jäger traces how pub­lic life has become infused with protest, spectacle, and moral urgency — while the old infrastructure of parties, unions, and civic solidarity has been hollowed out. revisits the illusions of the “end of history” and dissects the strange energies that replaced them: viral outrage, endless culture wars, and the digital rush of causes that flare and vanish overnight. It explores why politics feels constant, yet change remains elusive.

Tomas Hachard published with Flying Books in 2023. His short fiction has appeared in The Walrus, and he has written for The Atlantic, The Guardian, The Globe and Mail, Slate, Guernica Magazine, The Literary Review of Canada, The New Quarterly, and Hazlitt, among others. He is also a former book and film critic for NPR.
