Publisher's description
This book explores boxes in their broadest sense and size. It examines
boxes as world-making devices. Gathered in the format of a field guide,
this collation of essays offers an introduction to ways of ordering the
world, unpacking boxed-up, largely invisible politics and epistemics.
Experimental aspects:
Gathered in the format of a field guide, Boxes offers an introduction to ways of ordering the world, unpacking their boxed-up, largely invisible politics and epistemics. Performatively, pushing against conventional uses of academic books, this volume is about rethinking taken-for-granted formats and infrastructures of scholarly ordering – thinking, writing, reading. It diverges from encyclopedic logics and representative overviews of boxing practices and the architectural organization of monographs and edited volumes through a single, overarching argument.
