Drawing on theories of Georg Simmel, Henri Bergson, Aby Warburg, and Jacques Derrida, Boym presents the off-modern as an eccentric, self-questioning, anti-authoritarian perspective with roots in the Russian avant-garde, now developed in surprising ways by contemporary artists, architects, and curators around the world. She illustrates the off-modern in discussions of (and with) figures as diverse as architect Rem Koolhaas, Albanian artist-turned-mayor Edi Rama, an art collective in Delhi, and the creator of the Museum of Jurassic Technology in Los Angeles. Both a manifesto and a memoir, \u003ci\u003eThe Off-Modern\u003c\/i\u003e often returns to themes of travel and immigration, exploring issues of diasporic intimacy and productive estrangement amid nostalgic landscapes of urban ruins.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46619404501150,"sku":"UBD-9781501328978","price":54.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781501328978.jpg?v=1773898568","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781501328978","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
