Dear Friends and Colleagues,

I am sorry for cross-posting.
My new book titled 'Total Urban Mobilisation. Ernst Junger and the
Post-capitalist city' has been published (you will find each chapter

I do hope you find it interesting (few endorsements and a short description
of the book below).

If you are interested in writing and publishing a review in an
'established' medium (academic journal or main-stream media) the Publisher
will send you a copy, but if you would like to write a review on a blog or
any other 'non-established' place please let me know, I can send you a
digital copy.

*‘Krzysztof Nawratek's book is a thoughtful and provocative piece of work,
which is much needed at present. It offers an alternative approach to the
current debate on post-capitalism in both critical and urban studies, a
messianic one drawing on a number of authors and suggesting what a
post-capitalist city could be. A must read for those interested in the
future of cities.’*

*Camillo Boano*, Professor of Urban Design and Critical Theory, University
College London, UK.

*‘Krzysztof Nawratek’s excellent study focuses on the richest implications
of the city. His vision of the humanized post-capitalism city and its fully
efficient agency as a consequence of the “total mobilization” is most
impressive.’*

*Tingyang Zhao*, Professor of Philosophy at Chinese Academy of Social
Sciences, China.

*‘This book is one of the most interesting I have read on the topic of how
the city can be effectively re-claimed as a contemporary inclusive urb. It
brings together knowledge, reflection and hope. It is a real page-turner:
well written and clever, a book to arm oneself with in the total
mobilization for the inclusive post-capitalist city.’*

*Professor Monika Kostera*, the Jagiellonian University, Poland, and
Linnaeus University, Sweden

*‘This book is a thoughtful critique of the contemporary urban condition,
and a search for an alternative, post-capitalist urban vision.’*

*Professor Ali Madanipour*, Director of the Global Urban Research Unit
(GURU) at Newcastle University, UK

*In this book Krzysztof Nawratek explores the possibility of a
post-capitalist city, and in so doing, reclaims and develops the idea of
total mobilisation as originally formulated by Ernst Jünger. Nawratek
formulates the idea of ‘accumulation of agency’ the ability to act, to
replace the logic of capital accumulation as a main driver of urban
development. He argues that this ‘accumulation of agency’ operates already
in contemporary cities, and should not be seen as essential element of
capitalism, but as a conceptual gateway to a post-capitalist world.*
