Houellebecq foresaw antipolitics but missed hyperpolitics as the true successor to postpolitics.

Evidence

Houellebecq anticipated two potential successors to postpolitics: reactionary pseudo-traditionalism and populist rebellion, a politics of antipolitics. But he failed to predict what has shown itself to be the most consequential. Hyperpolitics promises the re-enchantment of public life for the very subjects that Houellebecq imagined had permanently withdrawn from it. In its fusion of privatized self-expression and political enthusiasm, hyperpolitics addresses the longing for purpose so characteristic of the last century, left unsatisfied since the 1990s. — Anton Jäger, Hyperpolitics, 86

Categorization

• DEFINE: Contrasts postpolitics, antipolitics, and hyperpolitics — hyperpolitics defined as fusing privatized self-expression with political enthusiasm to repair the lost sense of purpose.
• XREF: Directly serves the reader’s goal of reproducing Jäger’s tripartite periodization — this passage anchors hyperpolitics as the successor to Houellebecq’s predicted antipolitics.
