is politics left without its prime motivating force in the wake of the dislocation of utopian sensibilities and the growing suspicion of all grandiose political projects.

quote: 'It is particularly the political experience of these last decades that led to the dislocation of utopian sensibilities and brought to the fore a novel appreciation of human finitude, together with a growing suspicion of all grandiose political projects and the meta-narratives traditionally associateed with them (Whitebook, 1995: 75) All these developments, that is to say the crisis of the utopian imaginary, seem however to leave politics without its prime motivating force: the politics of today is a politics of aporia. In our current political terrain, hope seems to be replaced by pessimism or even resignation.' (Stravrakakis 1999: .99)
