In \u003ci\u003eThe Play in the System\u003c\/i\u003e Anna Watkins Fisher locates the possibility for resistance in artists who embrace \u003ci\u003eparasitism\u003c\/i\u003e--tactics of complicity that effect subversion from within hegemonic structures. Fisher tracks the ways in which artists on the margins--from hacker collectives like Ubermorgen to feminist writers and performers like Chris Kraus--have willfully abandoned the radical scripts of opposition and refusal long identified with anticapitalism and feminism. Space for resistance is found instead in the mutually, if unevenly, exploitative relations between dominant hosts giving only as much as required to appear generous and parasitical actors taking only as much as they can get away with. The irreverent and often troubling works that result raise necessary and difficult questions about the conditions for resistance and critique under neoliberalism today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnna Watkins Fisher is Assistant Professor of American Culture at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and coeditor of the second edition of \u003ci\u003eNew Media, Old Media: A History and Theory Reader\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 304\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.64 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 16, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47457922875645,"sku":"9781478009702","price":63.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/3414\/0157\/files\/TEt5T1EyS2loeGhZdmpBYWN0ZUxjUT09.webp?v=1777248882","url":"https:\/\/booktolia.com\/products\/the-play-in-the-system-the-art-of-parasitical-resistance-paperback","provider":"booktolia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
