The Book in Movement: Autonomous Politics and the Lettered City Underground: Pitt Illuminations
Autor Magali Rabasaen Limba Engleză Hardback – 6 mai 2019
Over
the
past
two
decades,
Latin
America
has
seen
an
explosion
of
experiments
with
autonomy,
as
people
across
the
continent
express
their
refusal
to
be
absorbed
by
the
logic
and
order
of
neoliberalism.
The
autonomous
movements
of
the
twenty-first
century
are
marked
by
an
unprecedented
degree
of
interconnection,
through
their
use
of
digital
tools
and
their
insistence
on
the
importance
of
producing
knowledge
about
their
practices
through
strategies
of
self-representation
and
grassroots
theorization.The
Book
in
Movementexplores
the
reinvention
of
a
specific
form
of
media:
the
print
book.
Magalí
Rabasa
travels
through
the
political
and
literary
underground
of
cities
in
Mexico,
Bolivia,
Argentina,
and
Chile
to
explore
the
ways
that
autonomous
politics
are
enacted
in
the
production
and
circulation
of
books.

Recenzii
“The
Book
in
Movementis
a
deeply
researched
ethnography
of
autonomous
publishing
in
contemporary
Latin
America.
Rabasa
traces
networks
of
action
in
Mexico
City,
Oaxaca,
La
Paz,
Buenos
Aires,
and
Santiago,
in
which
books
emerge
as
precipitates
of
human
social
practice.
The
result
of
rigorous
observation
and
analysis,
this
study
helps
us
understand
books
within
a
flux
of
movement
of
many
sorts—labor,
thought,
solidarity,
and
imagination—and
offers
a
sophisticated
model
for
studies
of
textual
materiality.”
—Craig
Epplin,
Portland
State
University
“This
is
an
excellent,
important,
and
methodologically
innovative
book.
In
its
materiality-centered
perspective—illuminating
the
networks
established
among
objects,
machines,
and
people—books
are
seen
not
simply
as
purveyors
of
symbolic
content
(the
ideas
explored
in
them)
but
in
fact
as
actors
endowed
with
the
capacity
to
produce
change
and
connections
in
the
real
world
as
material
objects.” —Juan
Poblete,
University
of
California,
Santa
Cruz
“Rabasa
contributes
an
essential
thread
to
the
dynamic
conversation
in
Latin
American
studies
on
the
evolution
of
the
book.
Her
eclectic
interdisciplinary
approach—from
archives
and
material
culture
to
on-the-ground
fieldwork
to
sociopolitical
analysis—reveals
the
role
of
the
book
as
a
point
of
encounter
for
collective
agency.
These
transnational
book
projects
challenge
the
region’s
reigning
neoliberal
consumerist
culture
to
celebrate
their
hands-on,
interactive,
and
mobile
nature.”

Schwartz,
