The Politics of the Impure
New V2_Publication
Available December 2010

The long expected new V2_ publication The Politics of the Impure is now 
in print and will be available in December. The Politics of the Impure 
investigates the urge for the pure, but also advocates a much deeper 
need for the impure. It traces the progression of contemporary culture 
to a point where all modernist values reverse, where technology becomes 
an agent for the impure and the imperfect. Technology, long an agent for 
homogeneity and purity, is now turning into one for heterogeneity and 
global contingency.
A program related to the themes in this book is planned early 2011.
