Stillness in a Mobile World (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Bissell, David; Fuller, Gillian

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This collection intervenes in debates around mobility, life, animation and thought by foregrounding the radically ambiguous concept of 'stillness' as a crucial site for critical interrogation. Stillness provides both a challenge and an invitation to consider how the dynamics of passivity, suspension and stasis are integral to our understanding of life on the move.
