Abstract
The recent work of Ana Kiffer and Gabriel Giorgi, Political hatred and hate politics: struggles, gestures and writings of the present (2019), is fundamental for the advancement in understanding a nebulous phenomenon of the present: hatred as one of the main mobilizing effects of politics today. How it arises, what it responds to and what its communicative power is are some of the questions raised by the authors in the book. The novelty presented is precisely to inquire into hatred not only as a restorer but as an instigator of new demands, imaginations, visibilities, and collective bets.
