Disappearance de Brad Evans

Disappearance

Autor Brad Evans, Chantal Meza
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 dec 2026
What was once a hidden secret defining totalitarian regimes has become the defining problem of our times. Every day we encounter stories concerning the disappearance of humans, communities, cultures, and life sustaining ecosystems. Disappearance has also become a dominant theme in popular entertainment, as we have normalised the extreme. But how are we to make sense of this? This is not just about increased awareness. It now openly touches our most primal of fears - to vanish without a trace - which has been amplified in our visual landscapes that depend upon and yet weaponize the value we place on appearances.

Recognizing this state of affairs and the ways in which societies are precariously hovering over disappearance fault-lines, this book will map out in original ways the history of the phenomena to offer an urgent and timely intervention. Moving beyond old ideas concerning bodies, the authors demand new ways of seeing disappearance to inspire alternative ways of thinking and responses. Disappearance, they argue, is a form of neuroviolence that is inseparable from the invisible operations of power. Hence countering it, not only requires that we make visible those forces which continue to annihilate life, it is to look precisely at the way disappearance now structures our societies and is inseparable from any concern with power in the world.
