Dead Man Working

by Carl Cederstrom, Peter Fleming ...

Capitalism has become strange. Ironically, while the 'age of work' seems to have come to an end, working has assumed a total presence -- a 'worker's society' in the worst sense of the term -- where everyone finds themselves obsessed with it. So what does the worker tell us today? "I feel drained, empty... dead." This book tells the story of the dead man working. It follows this figure through the ... Read more

Today, however, these questions seem to be addressed not by philosophers but self-help gurus, who frantically champion the individual's quest for self-expression and self-realization; the desire to become authentic.Against these new age sophistries, How to Stop Living and ...

Impossible Objects

by Simon Critchley, Todd Kesselman, Carl Cederström ...

Such "objects" do not rely on philosophy for interpretation and understanding; they are already independent practices and sites of sensuous meaning production. As Elvis Costello has said, "writing about music is like dancing about architecture." We don't need literary theory ... Read more
