Convivialities: Dialogues on Poetics - Michael Nardone

\nConvivialities is a collection of dialogues with contemporary writers and artists Dana Michel, Joshua Clover and Jasper Bernes, Shanzhai Lyric, Cecily Nicholson, Raven Chacon, Divya Victor, Carlos Soto Román, Tanya Lukin Linklater, Gail Scott, Kevin Davies, The Culture and Technology Discussion and Working Group, and Ryan C. Clarke. The dialogues vary. Some are chatty, others theoretical. They model how we might talk, think, and listen together.\n \nConvivialities investigates how writers and artists craft their works, the contexts in which they make them, the intellectual and artistic histories that inspire their ways of working, and the cultural issues at the core of their practices. And, perhaps most of all, it asks how they continue to create in a world ravaged by climate crisis, economic crisis, settler colonialism, and imperialism.\n
