[W]e might view the documentary aesthetic as produced by a way of reading--indeed, as a model of the "way we read now." Seen as a method of reading--a method which includes framing texts through the lens of neoliberalism in retrospect--it illuminates a powerful critical mode for analyzing the present., Neoliberal Nonfictions provides a good starting point for thinking about how exactly we come to recognise and understand the present day in the media we consume, and how those representations both critique and produce the world - our world - in which the individual is sovereign., Beautifully written and exceptionally smart, Neoliberal Nonfictions is essential to understanding the origins and effects of the nonfiction form that dominates today's literature and art., Worden's Neoliberal Nonfictions shows how a variety of cultural forms work to inculcate individualism, and how this individualism threatens society at large. His work explores various forms of cultural production, from comics to autobiography. He shows that the prevalence of the representation of the individual relates to the way that neoliberal policies such as financialization destroyed the social-safety net., [W]e might view the documentary aesthetic asproduced by a way of reading--indeed, as a model of the "way we read now."

Synopsis
With the ascendancy of neoliberalism in American culture beginning in the 1960s, the political structures governing private lives became more opaque and obscure. Neoliberal Nonfictions argues that a new style of documentary art emerged to articulate the fissures between individual experience and reality in the era of finance capitalism. In this wide-ranging study, Daniel Worden touches on issues ranging from urban poverty and criminal justice to environmental collapse and international politics. He examines the impact of local struggles and global markets on music, from D. A. Pennebaker?s infamous Dylan documentary Dont Look Back to Kendrick Lamar?s breakthrough album Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City. He details the emergence of the hustler as an icon of neoliberal individualism in Jay-Z?s autobiography Decoded, Alex Haley?s Autobiography of Malcom X, and Hunter S. Thompson?s "gonzo" journalism. He looks at how contemporary works such as Maggie Nelson?s memoir The Red Parts and Taryn Simon?s photography series The Innocents challenge the moral simplifications of traditional true crime writing. In his conclusion, he explores the dominance of memoir as a literary mode in the neoliberal era, particularly focusing on works by Joan Didion and Dave Eggers. Documentary has become the aesthetic of our age, harnessing the irreconcilable distance between individual and society as a site for aesthetic experimentation across media, from journalism and photography to memoir, music, and film. Both a symptom of and a response to the emergence of economic neoliberalism, the documentary aesthetic is central to how we understand ourselves and our world today., With the ascendancy of neoliberalism in American culture beginning in the 1960s, the political structures governing private lives became more opaque and obscure.

    ☆☆☆ Seller. Is not the picture of actual recieved item. Listing photo was pulled from internet and used as placeholder, according to sellers listing. Thats on me for buying the cheapest one without looking at listing fully. Would have been better to not use another persons photo on seller's listing as the specific guide book advertised has reflective bits, the one i recieved did not.. At least it arrived and is decent enough to use and look at. Packed ok. Shipped promptly. Thank you.

    Fantastic price, faster shipping than expected, item as described. However, packaging was a thin plastic envelope instead of bubble/ cardboard. Book arrived new yet slightly damaged. Not worth asking for a return due to the very low price, yet would suggest to seller/ future buyers to have better packaging for shipping. Thanks.

    The book was as described, absolutely perfect in like new condition, and it was extremely cheap. The packaging itself was very book friendly and there were no issues with corner scuffing from the post office. The book shipped next day. Very reliable seller.
