What is Bound to Act : Models of Action, Dramas of Inaction about?

<p><P>This study of models of action seeks to respond to the loss of faith in political action that seems to predominate in Western societies, to the sense that there is nothing we can do to change the course of events, or that political action is ultimately useless, without effect in a world governed by independent political and economic laws.</p> <h3>Booknews</h3> <p>Looking at both philosophical and dramatic texts, Wagner (comparative literature, U. of Geneva) responds to the loss of faith in political action that she sees permeating western societies, and explores the tension between the sense that any effort is futile and the impression that in fact many events do involve human agency.
