The Politics of the Impure
New V2_Publication
Available December 2010
The long expected new V2_ publication The Politics of the Impure is now
in print and will be available in December. The Politics of the Impure
investigates the urge for the pure, but also advocates a much deeper
need for the impure. It traces the progression of contemporary culture
to a point where all modernist values reverse, where technology becomes
an agent for the impure and the imperfect. Technology, long an agent for
homogeneity and purity, is now turning into one for heterogeneity and
global contingency.
A program related to the themes in this book is planned early 2011.
