Ich habe "Bürgerliche Kälte" von @H_Kohpeiss bei @Soziopolis rezensiert. Ganz tolles Buch!.
„Ein inspirierendes Buch, das überzeugende Brücken schlägt zwischen der Kritischen Theorie der Frankfurter Schule, den Affekttheorien und den Theorien der Dekolonisierung und der Blackness.“ – @jonas_bens rezensiert „Bürgerliche Kälte“ von @H_Kohpeiss.

Gerade eine Rezension für dieses wunderbare Buch von @H_Kohpeiss (@sfb1171) fertiggeschrieben und an @Soziopolis abgeschickt. Ein ganz tolles Buch, das die kritische Theorie der Frankfurter Schule, die Affekttheorien und die dekoloniale und Black-Studies-Theorien zusammenbringt!
