[Commlist] new book: Negotiating Civic Life

New book
Michael J. Shapiro, /Negotiating Civic Life/

//

Focused both thematically and methodologically on diverse aspects of 
civic life, this book elucidates the mentalities and forces involved in 
the way individuals and collectives negotiate ways of being in common. 
The chapters feature critical interventions into the civic lives of 
grief, of things, of Blackness, and of trans identity.

With an emphasis on the historiographic contributions of literature, 
film, objects and embodied memories of events, Shapiro’s textual 
analyses treat the way artistic genres supply the critical thinking 
needed to encourage a more egalitarian and convivial life world.
