Candice Amich argues that utopian longing in the neoliberal Americas paradoxically arises from the material conditions of socioeconomic crisis. Working across national, linguistic, and generic boundaries, Amich identifies new political and affective modes of reception in her examination of resistant art forms. She locates texts in the activist struggles of the Global South, where neoliberal extraction and exploitation most palpably reanimate the colonial and imperial legacies of earlier stages of capitalism. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The poets and artists surveyed in \u003ci\u003ePrecarious Forms\u003c\/i\u003e enact gestures of solidarity and mutual care at sites of neoliberal dispossession. In her analysis of poems, body art, and multimedia installations that illuminate the persistence of a radical utopian imaginary in the Americas, Amich engages critical debates in performance studies, Latin American cultural studies, literature, and art history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Candice Amich\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0810141825\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780810141827\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Northwestern University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/15\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Candice Amich","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48065163559167,"sku":"9780810141827","price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1ee50877-b94e-4f3b-aee2-ae4f6ece4ea9.jpg?v=1768673411","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/precarious-forms-candice-amich-9780810141827","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
