Lata Mani

The Integral Nature of Things

Critical Reflections on the Present

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book analyses a revealing paradox: prevailing ways of thinking obscure the interrelations between things even as interdependence and indivisibility continually assert themselves. Mani traces the consequences in a number of sites - language, labour, technology, post-structuralist theory, political rhetoric, sex, advertising, neoliberal globalisation - interweaving observation, poetry and analysis.
