Evacuation The Politics and Aesthetics of Movement in Emergency

"Peter Adey's intellectual curiosity and creativity have brought us something 'outside the box' on an important subject. The value and profundity of Evacuation are without question. Imaginative in scope and method, it will be a significant contribution to a wide variety of disciplines." - Caren Kaplan, author of (Aerial Aftermaths: Wartime from Above) "Evacuation is a brilliant exposition of evacuation as event, lurking background possibility, condition, technical object, claim, circulation, and much more. It shows how evacuation reproduces and disrupts existing orders and brings about new ones as it folds providential, catastrophic, and other relations with life. The scope of what Peter Adey achieves is quite remarkable-he makes present an event, claim, and condition that we might know, in this case evacuation, and demonstrates its power to make, unmake, and remake the world. A stunning work." - Ben Anderson, author of (Encountering Affect: Capacities, Apparatuses, Conditions)
