Crisis Style: The Aesthetics of Repair

by Michael Dango

Book Overview

In this expansive and provocative new work, Michael Dango theorizes how aesthetic style manages crisis-and why taking crisis seriously means taking aesthetics seriously. Detoxing, filtering, bingeing, and ghosting: these are four actions that have come to define how people deal with the stress of living in a world that seems in permanent crisis. As Dango argues, they can also be used to describe contemporary art and literature.
