Particularly for the disciplines of the humanities and social
sciences, for which writing is their lifeblood, the crisis in
academic writing has become existential. It is not hard to diagnose
the disease, and its causes. This book showcases what we
desperately need: radical alternatives, experiments we can try out,
ways of writing that don't just tweak the system but plot a
different course altogether. This isn't just about finding new
genres, for these only change the surface appearance without
altering the underlying dynamic. Rather, the editor and
contributors focus on finding new ways to join thinking both with
writing and the things of which, and with which, we write. Each
chapter brims with the kind of liveliness, outspokenness and
urgency that their theme demands. Far from tiptoeing around the
edifice of academia they are intent on stirring things up,
reigniting their scholarship with a fuse of activism, in the hope
of setting off an explosion that could send ripples throughout the
academy.
