Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. With a range that takes in games, architecture, technology, and war, a cultural historian examines the history of film crosses from the early twentieth century to the present.Shard Cinema tells an expansive story of how moving images have changed in the last three decades, and how they have changed us along with them, rewiring the ways we watch, fight, and navigate an unsteady world.In a set of interrelated essays that range from the writings of early factory workers to the distributed sight of contemporary surveillance, Williams argues for deep links between the images we see and the hidden labors frozen into them, exploring how even the apparently trivial or spectacular carries unique opportunities to detect the processes and social frictions of their making. Spanning film, video games, radical history, architecture, visual effects, and war, the book crosses the twentieth century into our present to confront a new order of seeing and making that slowly took shape: the composite image, where no clean distinction can be made between production and post-production, filmed and animated, material and digital. Giving equal ground to costly blockbusters, shaky riot footage, disaster photography, and early cinema, Williams leads us from the computer-generated "shards" of particles and debris to the broken phones screen on which we watch these digital storms, looking for the unexpected histories lived in the interval between. Synopsis coming soon. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. On the forms of sabotage, insubordination, and invisible activity that evade the terrain of politics.Inhuman Resources centers on what gets stranded outside the border of the political. It develops an account of the forms of sabotage, insubordination, and invisible activity that undermine the models of accountability, public presence, and identification on which representative politics rely.Drawing from histories of disability, anticolonial and radical movements, toxicity, technology, and art, the book deconstructs the patterns and potentials of what Evan Calder Williams frames as "inhuman agency." Such agency takes shape in moments of unexpected friction between humans, materials, machinery, and non-human life and in the legal and economic forms that police the boundaries between them yet paradoxically profit from the erosion of those very divisions in labor, incarceration, circulation, and war.The book follows two key lines of inquiry. On one side, Williams presents an account of what the Industrial Workers of the World termed a "cog's-eye view," the capacity to leave behind a politics of pride and respectability and think instead from an abject position caught inside the production process. On the other, through an extended reading of the medieval law of the "deodand" (in which property that caused the death of a person was forfeited to the Crown), the book thinks through how objects and animals come to be socially and culturally understood as endowed with an autonomous capacity for violence, in ways intimately bound up with the racialized construction of the concept of the human.Spanning an ambitious range of subjects-from prison architecture to novels of circulation, concepts of paralysis, and silkworms saturated with toxic dye-Inhuman Resources gathers materials for a theory of a fundamentally different way of thinking about insurgent activity, one that does not seek exodus, pride, or autonomy but instead gathers its strength by passing through the very activities, architectures, appearances, and systems it seeks to ruin.
