But it; put your name in it: study it carefully: "At last, a fresh interpretation of the global economic crisis that vehemently departs from traditional academic canons in order to assert a new kind of economic and political thought. [Author's] insightful reading brings to light the fact that financialization is not an unproductive/parasitic deviation of growing rates of surplus-value and collective saving, but rather a form of capital accumulation, symmetrical to the new processes of social and cognitive production of value. Today's financial crisis can be understood as an important component of capital accumulation rather than the implosive result of a lack of economic expansion."--Antonio Negri [from rear cover].…

Softcover. Verleger: Mit Press ; Semiotext(E) Native Agents . Datum: 2006. 280 Seiten . Englisch . Gr.-8to. (Gross-Oktavformat). OKarton/ softcover. 'In I Love Dick, published in 1997, Chris Kraus, author of Aliens & Anorexia, Torpor, and Video Green, boldly tore away the veil that separates fiction from reality and privacy from self-expression. Its no wonder that I Love Dick instantly elicited violent controversies and attracted a host of passionate admirers. The story is gripping enough: in 1994 a married, failed independent filmmaker, turning forty, falls in love with a well-known theorist and endeavors to seduce him with the help of her husband. But when the theorist refuses to answer her letters, the husband and wife continue the correspondence for each other instead, imagining the fling the wife wishes to have with Dick. What follows is a breathless pursuit that takes the woman across America and away from her husband and far beyond her original infatuation into a discovery of the transformative power of first person narrative. I Love Dick is a manifesto for a new kind of feminist who isnt afraid to burn through her own narcissism in order to assume responsibility for herself and for all the injustice in world and its a book you won't put down until the authors final, heroic acts of self-revelation and transformation.'(Pressetext).

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Essays on and around art and art practices by the author of I Love Dick.A border isn't a metaphor. Knowing each other for over a decade makes us witnesses to each other's lives. My escape is his prison. We meet in a bar and smoke Marlboros. from Social PracticesMixing biography, autobiography, fiction, criticism, and conversations among friends, with Social Practices Chris Kraus continues the anthropological exploration of artistic lives and the art world begun in 2004 with Video Green: Los Angeles Art and the Triumph of Nothingness.Social Practices includes writings from and around the legendary Chance Event Three Days in the Desert with Jean Baudrillard (1996), and Radical Localism, an exhibition of art and media from Puerto Nuevo's Mexicali Rose that Kraus co-organized with Marco Vera and Richard Birkett in 2012. Attuned to the odd and the anomalous, Kraus profiles Elias Fontes, an Imperial Valley hay merchant who has become an important collector of contemporary Mexican art, and chronicles the demise of a rural convenience store in northern Minnesota. She considers the work of such major contemporary artists as Jason Rhoades, Channa Horowitz, Simon Denny, Yayoi Kusama, Henry Taylor, Julie Becker, Ryan McGinley, and Leigh Ledare. Although Kraus casts a skeptical eye at the genre that's come to be known as social practice, her book is less a critique than a proposition as to how art might be read through desire and circumstance, delirium, gossip, coincidence, and revenge. All art, she implies, is a social practice. 296 pp. Englisch.…
