{"product_id":"dysphoria-mundi","title":"Dysphoria Mundi","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA revolutionary book tracing the collapse of the paradigms that have organized the world for centuries \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eDysphoria Mundi\u003c\/i\u003e, Paul B. Preciado, best known for his 2013 cult classic \u003ci\u003eTesto Junkie\u003c\/i\u003e, has written a mutant text assembled from essays, philosophy, poetry, and autofiction that captures a moment of profound change and possibility. Rooted in the isolation of the COVID-19 pandemic, and taking account of the societal convulsions that have ensued, Preciado tries to make sense of our times from within the swirl of a revolutionary present moment. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe central thesis of this monumental work is that dysphoria, to be understood properly, should not be seen as a mental illness but rather as the condition that defines our times. Dysphoria is an abyss that separates a patriarchal, colonial, and capitalist order hurtling toward its end from a new way of being that, until now, has been seen as unproductive and abnormal but is in fact the way out of our current predicament. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith echoes of visionaries such as William S. Burroughs and Kathy Acker, Preciado's theoretical writing is propelled by lyric power while providing us with a critical toolbox full of new concepts that can guide our thinking and our actions: transition, cognitive emancipation, denormalization, disidentification, \"electronic heroin,\" digital coups, necro-kitsch. \u003ci\u003eDysphoria Mundi \u003c\/i\u003eis Preciado's most accessible and significant work to date, in which he makes sense of a world in ruins around us and maps a joyous, radical way forward.","brand":"Graywolf Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50020720214266,"sku":"9781644453322","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0840\/1253\/1962\/files\/imageloader_fd106eb6-4211-4158-ae17-38e06cef6411.jpg?v=1786137030","url":"https:\/\/mindsourcebooks.com\/products\/dysphoria-mundi","provider":"Mind Source Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
