Hi - request for reviews, reviewers As you may know, Punctum just brought out my book, Broken Theory. It's at https://punctumbooks.com/titles/broken-theory/ And I'm trying to find reviewers for the book; if you have a venue and a desire to review it, I'd greatly appreciate it. It's difficult to place the book since it ranges widely among disciplines, perhaps too widely. There's a free pdf for download - see the url above. Here's the description again: "Broken Theory is a jettisoned collection of fragmentary writing, collected and collaged by new media artist, writer, musician, and theorist Alan Sondheim. Folding theoretical musings, text experiments, and personal confessions into a single textual flow, it examines the somatic foundations of philosophical theory and theorizing, discussing their relationships to the writer and body, and to the phenomenology of failure and fragility of philosophys production. Writing remains writing, undercuts and corrects itself, is always superseded, always produced within an untoward and bespoke silo not as an inconceivable last word, but instead a broken contribution to philosophical thinking. The book is based on fragmentation and collapse, displacing annihilation and wandering towards a form of roiling within which the text teeters on the verge of disintegration. In other words, the writing develops momentary scaffoldings writing shored up by the very mechanisms that threaten its disappearance. Broken Theory is prefaced by a text from Maria Damon and followed by an extensive interview with art historian Ryan Whyte." There's more information at the site. I have a limited number of hard copies that I can send to reviewers. The advantage of the pdf is that the images which accompany Whyte's interview are in full color. Please get in touch back-channel if you have any questions or suggestions. Thanks, Alan, with eternal (yes, literally eternal) gratitude. __ _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] https://lists.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
