Inhaltsangabe

What happens to people, places, and things that do not fit the progressive, ordering narratives of capitalism and modernity? This volume explores the indeterminacy left behind by conventional understandings of progress and shows how totalizing forward movement may be resisted by fragments, open-endedness, and the possibility of going nowhere at all.
