{"product_id":"surrealpolitik-john-schoneboom-9781785359491","title":"Surrealpolitik: Surreality and the National Security State","description":"\u003cp\u003eOur times are not just weird, but literally surreal: we live in a paranoid, increasingly authoritarian culture in which the real, the presumed and the purported are indistinguishable strands of a dense hallucinatory web of mediated spectacles. Surrealpolitik takes up cultural theorist Mark Fisher's challenge to expose capitalist realism's 'realism' as nothing of the sort. To subject the symbolic order to a surrealist mode of inquiry is to transgress taboos, reveal biases and inconsistencies, test assumptions and investigate the extent to which the real is, like our dreams - a fungible projection of our unconscious expectations. The nexus of dreams, hyperreality, paranoia, totalitarianism, terror, art, myth and culture is where realpolitik becomes the surrealpolitik of the title.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Schoneboom\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1785359495\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781785359491\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Zero Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.40d","brand":"John Schoneboom","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44074865688831,"sku":"9781785359491","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0bb8656b-325a-4518-9551-9fc3744c173a.jpg?v=1685456226","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/surrealpolitik-john-schoneboom-9781785359491","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
