Yet to detect this and move away from fantasies of clarity and visibility, we need to take cues from political and artistic practices that evade such legibility, and are attuned to what happens off-screen and without recognition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpanning an ambitious range of subjects—from prison architecture to digital animation, legal history to self-help books, and electrical blackouts to silkworms saturated with toxic dye—\u003ci\u003eInhuman Resources\u003c\/i\u003e gathers materials for thinking differently about insurgent activity. This is a theory that does not privilege exodus, pride, or autonomy but instead takes shape inside the very processes, architectures, appearances, and systems it seeks to ruin.","brand":"Sternberg Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44613058724095,"sku":"9781915609366","price":25.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781915609366_s600x595.jpg?v=1775600068","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9781915609366","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
