In Uncanny Rest Alberto Moreiras offers a meditation on
intellectual life under the suspension of time and conditions of
isolation. Focusing on his personal day-to-day experiences of the
"shelter-in-place" period during the first months of the
coronavirus pandemic, Moreiras engages with the limits and
possibilities of critical thought in the realm of the
infrapolitical-the conditions of existence that exceed average
understandings of politics and philosophy. In each dated entry he
works through the process of formulating a life's worth of thought
and writing while attempting to locate the nature of thought once
the coordinates of everyday life have changed. Offering nothing
less than a phenomenology of thinking, Moreiras shows how thought
happens in and out of a life, at a certain crossroads where
memories collide, where conversations with interlocutors both
living and dead evolve and thinking during a suspended state
becomes provisional and uncertain.
