Ultimately taking jewishness as a paradigmatically \"molecular\" identity--variously configured as racial, ethnic, religious, or national--they offer a series of concrete methodological and formal proposals for working at the intersections of embodied identities, artistic techniques, and alternative forms of knowledge. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eRace and the Forms of Knowledge: Technique, Identity, and Place in Artistic Research\u003c\/i\u003e takes inspiration from recent critical studies of blackness and indigeneity to show how artistic research is always involved in the production and transformation of identity. Spatz offers a toolkit of practical methods and concepts--from molecular identities to audiovisual ethnotechnics and earthing the laboratory--for reimagining the university and other contemporary institutions. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ben Spatz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0810146584\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780810146587\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 02\/15\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.98h x 5.83w x 0.79d","brand":"Ben Spatz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44634421657855,"sku":"9780810146587","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bf8a276b-3a7c-4c6a-9281-fabcfd34ee53.jpg?v=1703589253","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/race-and-the-forms-of-ben-spatz-9780810146587","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
