As such, the authors offer new entryways into thinking about politics and economy through a \"bloodscape of difference\" different sovereignties; different proportionalities; and different temporalities. These entryways allow the authors to explore the relation between blood's utopic flows and political clottings as it moves through time and space, conjuring new kinds of social collectivities while reanimating older forms, and always in a reflexive relation to norms that guide its proper flow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jacob Copeman, Dwaipayan Banerjee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501761684\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501761683\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cornell University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.94lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.65d","brand":"Jacob Copeman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44302403141887,"sku":"9781501761683","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e98686e4-d730-4a90-a2e1-1bce82dc13b8.jpg?v=1695161364","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hematologies-jacob-copeman-9781501761683","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
