| Summary: | "A hog, a fox, a dog, mud, seawater, an ass, a weasel, a mare, an ape, and a bee. Kim Rosenfield loves (and loves to infiltrate) the language of systems: lists, tables, trees, graphs, catalogs, taxonomies. She's also interested, at the same time, in the diverse forms of secular enchantment that capitalist modernity generates--both the good or hopeful variety (literary utopias, aesthetic semblance, fairy tales) and the baleful kind, as well (commodity fetishism, feminine mystique, nationalist mythologies). While enchantment is the explicit theme of her previous book Tràma, her interests in both varieties converge in re: evolution."--Introduction
