Description
Inanimation offers a fresh account of what life is and the ethical and political consequences that follow from this conception. David Wills identifies and explores three major forms of inorganic life: autobiography, translation, and resonance. Informed by Jacques Derrida and Gilles Deleuze, Wills discovers life-forms well beyond textual remainders and translations.
