{"product_id":"walled-life-jenny-stmer-9781501380365","title":"Walled Life: Concrete, Cinema, Art","description":"Going beyond a discussion of political architecture, \u003ci\u003eWalled Life\u003c\/i\u003einvestigates the mediation of material and imagined border walls through cinema and art practices. The book reads political walls as more than physical obstruction, instead treating the wall as an affective screen, capable of negotiating the messy feelings, personal conflicts, and haunting legacies that make up \"walled life\" as an evolving signpost in the current global border regime. By exploring the wall as an emotional and visceral presence, the book shows that if we read political walls as forms of affective media, they become legible not simply as shields, impositions, or monuments, but as projective surfaces that negotiate the interaction of psychological barriers with political structures through cinema, art, and, of course, the wall itself.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eDrawing on the Berlin Wall, the West Bank Separation barrier, and the U.S.-Mexico border, \u003ci\u003eWalled Life\u003c\/i\u003ediscovers each wall through the films and artworks it has inspired, examining a wide array of graffiti, murals, art installations, movies, photography, and paintings. Remediating the silent barriers, we erect between, and often within ourselves, these interventions tell us about the political fantasies and traumatic histories that undergird the politics of walls as they rework the affective settings of political boundaries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jenny St?er\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501380362\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501380365\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/24\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d","brand":"Jenny St?er","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44052711375103,"sku":"9781501380365","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_33dfa672-0026-4d7f-b01b-58fc9cd236ba.jpg?v=1685020322","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/walled-life-jenny-stmer-9781501380365","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
