Inhaltsangabe

Passages: On geo-analysis and the aesthetics of precarity is a multi-genre and transdisciplinary text addressing themes such as colonialism, nuclear zones of abandonment, migration control regimes, transnational domestic work, the biocolonial hostilities of the hospitality industry, legal precarities behind the international criminal justice regime, the shadow-worlds of the African soccerscape, and immunity regimes related to the COVID-19 pandemic. This book invites inquiry into today's apocalyptic narratives, humanitarian reason, and international criminal justice regimes, as well as the precarity generated by citizen time and 'consulate time'. The aesthetic breaks emerging from the book's image-text montage draw attention to the ethics of encounter and passage that challenges colonial, domestic, and nation-statist sovereignty regimes of inattention.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Passages: On Geo-Analysis and the aesthetics of precarity is a multi-genre and transdisciplinary text that invites inquiry into today’s apocalyptic narratives, humanitarian reason and international criminal justice regimes, as well as the precarity generated by citizen time and 'consulate time'. The aesthetic breaks emerging from the book’s image-text montage draw attention to the ethics of encounter and passage that challenges colonial, domestic, and nation-statist sovereignty regimes of inattention.
The book addresses themes such as colonialism, nuclear zones of abandonment, migration control regimes, transnational domestic work, the biocolonial hostilities of the hospitality industry, legal precarities behind the international criminal justice regime, the shadow-worlds of the African soccerscape, and immunity regimes related to the COVID-19 pandemic. As both a theoretical research monograph on aesthetics and a book of art, it contributes to a transdisciplinary analysis of structures and practices that intensify precarity in the modern world. It provides ethical insights and stages political interventions in a variety of political themes and scenes, and showcases collaboration between artists and theorists from a diverse geographical range.
This book will appeal to advanced undergraduates and graduate students interested in critical international relations, political theory, the politics of aesthetics, migration studies, cultural studies, and postcolonial and decolonial studies. Due to its focus on precarity, it will also be of interest to theoretically-inclined artists and activists in North America, Europe, South America and Africa.
