{"product_id":"landscape-as-weapon-john-beck-9781789143058","title":"Landscape as Weapon: Cultures of Exhaustion and Refusal","description":"Once the playgrounds and raw material for the avantgarde, abandoned places and things--decommissioned military sites, postindustrial spaces, contested and forgotten edgelands--are now just as likely to be seen as assets for entrepreneurs or connoisseurs of the authentically worn-out. This is the age of patina, where the material remains of times past--the fields and factories, test sites, back alleys, machines, and statues--are coveted, adored, mourned, and commemorated, as well as sometimes despised. Through an exploration of a wide range of recent film, photography, art, and writing about place, \u003ci\u003eLandscape as Weapon\u003c\/i\u003e argues that these abandoned sites are a critical arena for debate about the meaning of space and time under late capitalism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Beck\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1789143055\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781789143058\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Reaktion Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/22\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.50w x 1.00d","brand":"John Beck","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43986505761023,"sku":"9781789143058","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6134a4bb-c828-4cdb-ac5a-6a96c4809b13.jpg?v=1683283744","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/landscape-as-weapon-john-beck-9781789143058","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
