Reviews

Slavoj Zizek's imperative for a global that is truly European comes at a timely juncture of multiple crises.
With the interweaving of Zizek's manifesto with traces, gestures, and invocations, the text breathes relations through writing, reading, death, resurrection, contamination, and betrayal. Above all, it calls for an opening of - or, an openness to - the possibilities of thinking, dreaming, acting, and waiting for a Europe that others itself in the global.
Jeremy Fernando's characteristic writing lures the reader into thinking they know more than they do. Like the space necessary for touch to occur, a secret is shared between the text and the reader.
