Focusing on his personal day-to-day experiences of the \"shelter-in-place\" period during the first months of the coronavirus pandemic, Moreiras engages with the limits and possibilities of critical thought in the realm of the infrapolitical--the conditions of existence that exceed average understandings of politics and philosophy. In each dated entry he works through the process of formulating a life's worth of thought and writing while attempting to locate the nature of thought once the coordinates of everyday life have changed. Offering nothing less than a phenomenology of thinking, Moreiras shows how thought happens in and out of a life, at a certain crossroads where memories collide, where conversations with interlocutors both living and dead evolve and thinking during a suspended state becomes provisional and uncertain.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlberto Moreiras is Professor of Hispanic Studies at Texas A\u0026amp;M University and author of \u003ci\u003eThe Exhaustion of Difference: The Politics of Latin American Cultural Studies\u003c\/i\u003e, also published by Duke University Press, \u003ci\u003eAgainst Abstraction: Notes from an Ex-Latin Americanist\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eInfrapolitics: A Handbook\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Camila Moreiras is a translator, artist, and filmmaker.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Duke University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50388463878418,"sku":"9781478019022","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_9c7b34e5-4ecf-4efb-a51c-26dbd70c7468.jpg?v=1728900064","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/uncanny-rest-for-antiphilosophy-9781478019022","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
