Popis: | This essay offers a close reading of Lauren Berlant’s posthumously published book, On the Inconvenience of Other People (2022), while addressing its place in the critic’s body of work, especially in relation to the field changing project of Cruel Optimism (2011).This is a Lauren Berlant book . . . which means that readers are tasked with following a critical eye that has grown increasingly more interested in when and how clarity falters . . . than in marshaling cultural criticism to shore up the pretense of understanding and knowing. |
