{"product_id":"precarious-forms","title":"Precarious Forms","description":"\u003ci\u003ePrecarious Forms: Performing Utopia in the Neoliberal Americas\u003c\/i\u003e explores how performance art and poetry convey utopian desires even in the bleakest of times. Candice Amich argues that utopian longing in the neoliberal Americas paradoxically arises from the material conditions of socioeconomic crisis. Working across national, linguistic, and generic boundaries, Amich identifies new political and affective modes of reception in her examination of resistant art forms. She locates texts in the activist struggles of the Global South, where neoliberal extraction and exploitation most palpably reanimate the colonial and imperial legacies of earlier stages of capitalism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe poets and artists surveyed in \u003ci\u003ePrecarious Forms\u003c\/i\u003e enact gestures of solidarity and mutual care at sites of neoliberal dispossession. In her analysis of poems, body art, and multimedia installations that illuminate the persistence of a radical utopian imaginary in the Americas, Amich engages critical debates in performance studies, Latin American cultural studies, literature, and art history.","brand":"Northwestern University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":57261070287192,"sku":"9780810141827","price":36.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780810141827.jpg?v=1778393740","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/precarious-forms","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
