Precarious Forms: Performing Utopia in the Neoliberal Americas
explores how performance art and poetry convey utopian desires even
in the bleakest of times. Candice Amich argues that utopian longing
in the neoliberal Americas paradoxically arises from the material
conditions of socioeconomic crisis. Working across national,
linguistic, and generic boundaries, Amich identifies new political
and affective modes of reception in her examination of resistant
art forms. She locates texts in the activist struggles of the
Global South, where neoliberal extraction and exploitation most
palpably reanimate the colonial and imperial legacies of earlier
stages of capitalism. The poets and artists surveyed in Precarious
Forms enact gestures of solidarity and mutual care at sites of
neoliberal dispossession. In her analysis of poems, body art, and
multimedia installations that illuminate the persistence of a
radical utopian imaginary in the Americas, Amich engages critical
debates in performance studies, Latin American cultural studies,
literature, and art history.
