{"product_id":"9781940813240","title":"Languages of Resistance","description":"1: Performativity and Cultural Political Translation explores how \"difficult language can change a tough world,\" in the words of Judith Butler. Reading Butler's works, it attempts to stage a dialogue among activism and philosophy, theory and practice, materiality and language. Without exactly de-constructing these dichotomies, each term is interwoven not only with its other, but also in the fabric of thinking and action. Refusing the dominant consumerist approach to knowledge, a performative writing calls for a performative reading. Weaving these themes through the works of Walter Benjamin, Audre Lorde and others the book dares (us) to think in translation. The number 1 in the title indicates an invitation and opening without conclusion.","brand":"Atropos Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47049201025264,"sku":"9781940813240","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781940813240_p0.jpg?v=1763754966","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781940813240","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
