Recenzii

‘Examining the politics of knowledge production, Viral Critique reaches beyond being yet another volume on the impact of the pandemic. The editor’s take offers a much-needed, broader approach to ask how thinking has changed and how we might change our thinking. The contributions are sharp, compelling, and collectively they rethink fundamental relations between social lifeworlds and theory.’
-Jasbir K Puar, The Right to Maim: Debility, Capacity, Disability
