What is to be done in conditions where capitalo-normativity is so pervasive? Escape Routes was written as an attempt to think the possibility of politics from below against this ubiquitous capitalist spell over life. The book does not look for social transformation in existing organized forms of resistance. It tries to think how transformative occasions emerge that allow those who have no part to enter and change the conditions of existence altogether. How can we understand the metropolitan strikes and insurrections in Paris in 2005, in Athens in 2008, or in the Arab world, in Madrid, in London in 2011? On a different scale, how can we understand the silent and mundane transformations that happen when people who refuse medical normalization develop alternative embodiments of their illnesses, when migrants who clandestinely defy the borders that block their future expose the limits of liberal citizenship without ever intending it, when people twist and queer the hetero-order of intimate relationships to create other kinships, when precarious workers refuse to become regular workers? The magic formula of social transformation that Escape Routes attempts to grapple with is that the social changes not when people resist, respond, or react, but when they craft new situations, new worlds, new ecologies of existence.
