Rather than be restricted by an academic approach Slater is inspired by the possible implications of Benjamin's 'messianic shard' and is led towards a therapeutic micro-politics by way of a mourning for the Workers' Movement and a grappling with the 'becomings of capital'. The essay, Anomie\/Bonhomie, is the set piece of this book which also features tributary texts and poems drawn from the past ten years. These supplementary texts approach such themes as exodus, species-being, surrealist precedents, poetic language and the possibilities for collective 'affective' practices to combat capitalism's colonization of the psyche.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: New\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eItem# 9781906496722\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eActual Book Cover May Vary\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthorized Dealer\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mute","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49558605725990,"sku":"9781906496722","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0128\/7762\/7456\/files\/43f51e2f-c47f-5e6d-8f13-c7f9244e233a.jpg?v=1726674610","url":"https:\/\/retrostar-gifts.myshopify.com\/products\/anomie-bonhomie-other-writings","provider":"Retrostar Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
