A lively intellectual play

The way of politicizing Solar energy for Oxana is to lean on Batailles recognition of excess and juxtapose it with various types of violence. That makes a really nice landcape for your mind to wander and thus a quite tasty read.

However, I have an issue with the title, which seems to promise a focus on politics. But politics is somewhat reduced to games of formalist classifications and occasional ethical slogans. It just didn work for me.. neither as analysis of politics, neither as mobilising knowledge.
