Paperback. An original essay collection that explores the generative dimensions of fragility, which can help reveal new life-affirming politics and ethics.An original essay collection that explores the generative dimensions of fragility, which can help reveal new life-affirming politics and ethics.At a time when it may be easy to fall into a defeatist melancholia, if not outright pessimism, fragility offers an opportunity for a different kind of world-making. In Fragilities, Fernando Dominguez Rubio, Jer me Denis, and David Pontille argue that we need to pay attention to the moments when the bodies, things, and worlds we inhabit begin to crack and reveal their fragility; it is in these instabilities that we can gain precious access to alternative ways of being. The essays in this collection explore how the work of care, maintenance, and repair compose with, rather than struggle against, fragilities.Fragility forces us to reckon with the precariousness and contingency of life and to use this reckoning as a starting point to build and nurture life-affirming politics and ethics. The book explores fragility in four categories-bodies, environments, labor, and politics-and proposes to consider in each situation what/who is rendered visible, what/who is made absent, what is considered normal, and what is deemed strong and stable versus what is deemed fragile. The volume includes a strong line-up of leading and emerging scholars from a wide array of disciplines, including anthropology, social studies of science, disabilities studies, and sociology. "This edited volume uses the concept of fragility as a way to explore the work of care, maintenance, and repair of infrastructure in the anthropocene"-- Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
