Moving between the planned obsolescence and deliberate precariousness of digital technologies and the “too big to fail” logic of the Great Recession, they argue that the sense of failure is real in that it produces disappointment and pain. Yet, failure is not a self-evident quality of projects, institutions, technologies, or lives. It requires a new and urgent understanding of the conditions under which repeated breakdowns and collapses are quickly forgotten.  By looking at such moments of forgetfulness, this highly original book offers a multilayered account of failure and a general theory of denial, memory, and nascent systems of control.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: Society & CultureTopic: Social SciencesAuthor: Arjun Appadurai, Neta AlexanderRelease Year: 2019 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
