Description
The Hundreds by Lauren Berlant and Kathleen Stewart is an experimental work that explores writing, affect, politics, and attention. The authors propose a unique approach to composition, using a one hundred word constraint to amplify the resonance of everyday experiences and encounters. This collection includes four indexes, each contributed by a different author, who respond with their own compositional, conceptual, and formal staging of the book's themes. By examining these responses, readers can gain insight into the worlds presented in The Hundreds and consider how they might be staged and framed in their own work. Through its innovative approach to composition and concept formation, The Hundreds offers a thought-provoking exploration of the relationships between writing, politics, and attention.
