| Description: |
A dazzling exploration of the seduction of violence and spectacle in politics, culture, entertainment and everyday life |
| Synopsis: |
Brad Evans is an emerging voice in radical theory circles who will resonate with the market of public intellectuals like Slavoj Zizek--established intellectuals who command large trade readerships through popular culture.Accessible and serious, fans of the classic Guy Debord book "Society of the Spectacle" will flock to this title.Evans has a close association with Simon Critchley with whom he co-directed the 2012 film "Ten Years of Terror," which received international acclaim and a screening at The Guggenheim in NYC. (Critchley launched the New York Times's philosophy section, "The Stone.")Evans is the driving force behind the "Histories of Violence" website (http://historiesofviolence.com) and his co-authorship with Giroux on features for Truthout is helping build a profile in the blogsphere.Evans is a young, prolific, well-connected Brit with a very distinctive 007 look. (Seriously!)Henry Giroux's influence is growing and the readership for his political writing continues to increase as a result of his involvement with Truthout for which he regularly contributes long-form feature pieces that a amass thousands of "likes" within days of posting. His pieces migrate fast, and appear on Huffington Post, Counterpunch and TruthDig. |
