Experimental reflections on affect, politics, and world-making.

If you're intrigued by the idea of literature not just as a form of expression but as a mode of thinking and engagement with the world, *The Hundreds* might resonate with you. It challenges standard narratives, opting instead for a fragmented, meditative approach that can change how you perceive social interactions and conceptual frameworks.

Description

In "The Hundreds," Lauren Berlant and Kathleen Stewart explore writing, affect, politics, and the processes of world-making. The book experiments with a one hundred word constraint, with each piece being one hundred words long or multiples thereof. This constraint enhances the significance of events unfolding in various atmospheres, rhythms of encounters, and shifting social and conceptual landscapes. The authors challenge readers to consider how encounters can inspire composition and how concepts and theories can serve as tools for absorption, attention, and framing. Additionally, the book features indexes by Andrew Causey, Susan Lepselter, Fred Moten, and Stephen Muecke, offering their own interpretations and staging of the book's worlds.
