Items related to Rust: Object Lessons
Synopsis
Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. Rust: its happening all the time, all around us. We cover it up. We ignore it. Jean-Michel Rabatés Rust takes on the multitudinous meanings that this oxidized substance can hold, and shows how technology can bleed into biology and ecology. Rust blends eco-criticism with a post-Benjaminian allegorization of technology, ranging across art, autobiography, and science studies to explore the authors own fascination for peeling paints and rusty metal sheets as the interpenetration between the organic and the inorganic. Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic.

From the Back Cover
Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. The burger, long the All-American meal, is undergoing an identity crisis. From its shifting place in popular culture to the efforts, by investors such as Bill Gates, to seek to find the non-animal burger that can feed the world, the burgers identity has become as malleable as that patty of protein, itself, before it is thrown on a grill. Carol Adamss Burger is a fast-paced and eclectic exploration of the history, business, cultural dynamics and gender politics of the ordinary hamburger. Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic.
