{"product_id":"couplets-brian-massumi-9781478014669","title":"Couplets: Travels in Speculative Pragmatism","description":"In \u003ci\u003eCouplets\u003c\/i\u003e, Brian Massumi presents twenty-four essays that represent the full spectrum of his work during the past thirty years. Conceived as a companion volume to \u003ci\u003eParables for the Virtual\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eCouplets\u003c\/i\u003e addresses the key concepts of \u003ci\u003eParables\u003c\/i\u003e from different angles and contextualizes them, allowing their stakes to be more fully felt. Rather than organizing the essays chronologically or by topic, Massumi pairs them into couplets to encourage readers to make connections across conventional subject matter categories, to encounter disjunctions, and to link different phases in the evolution of his work. In his analyses of topics ranging from art, affect, and architecture to media theory, political theory, and the philosophy of experience, Massumi charts a field on which a family of conceptual problems plays out in ways that bear on the potentials for acting and perceiving the world. As an essential guide to Massumi's oeuvre, \u003ci\u003eCouplets\u003c\/i\u003e is both a primer for his new readers and a supplemental resource for those already engaged with his thought.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brian Massumi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1478014660\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781478014669\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Duke University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/15\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 504\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.01d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2022","brand":"Brian Massumi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43986581389567,"sku":"9781478014669","price":33.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f8752e40-e38c-4e84-899a-9fe1702dd9bc.jpg?v=1683284199","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/couplets-brian-massumi-9781478014669","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
