At its core is the concept of playful foreboding-a critical strategy that blends seriousness and levity to face the unthinkable without denying its weight. Through essays, photo essays, and interdisciplinary inquiry, contributors from around the globe examine how extremity is lived, denied, aestheticized, and reimagined in daily life. With insight and urgency, this volume offers a new lens for understanding the complex relationship between extremity and the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNelson Varas-Díaz\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Global and Sociocultural Studies at Florida International University.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDaniel Nevárez Araújo\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor of English at the University of Puerto Rico.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e04 February 2027\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781666980752\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e304\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51331263791244,"sku":"9781666980752","price":108.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/getimage_51e81b95-2ccc-49e3-b2ea-e5a2f751d963.jpg?v=1783595561","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781666980752","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
