Rendering Uncoscious is a compendium, a type of modern day encyclopedia of themes, troupes, issues of political, psychological, anthropological, art interest. It would be a gross understatement to state that this vast area of human thought contained in a book like this, represents pretty limited fact file and is based only on certain wave of mindset.
When I was reading it I definitely felt that some of those works are expressing political stance but not in a way of turning towards the known dychotomy between right and left. Texts like "The Horde Mentality - Alt-Politics and Virtual Violence" by Gerald Sand show a completely new arena of a status quo that is being refurbished and turned into a completely new paradigm using tools of technological psycho-warfare.
Other type of texts like "Racial Oppression and Health: A Biopsychosocial View" by Tanya White-Davis and Anu Kotay show a very detailed, structuralised approach towards recognising and diagnosing issues of mental health when we take issues such as racism into consideration - quite a rare occurence of proposal to things that are not really addressed.
"Bellowing Presidents" by Emma Lieber is a highly laconic, concise way of presenting current political issues in various hues and spectrums, interesting not only from a formal point of view.
Poetic interludes like "Try to remember" by Shara Hardeson remind us how wide and in-depth a poem can be - both showing the magic of attentive life observations and a crushing political stance.
They are just but a few of the texts that each and every need your attention. Truly and inexplicably I found this book something to ponder on for coming winter months. Thank you for your hard work, Vanessa.
