Form and its Discontents

Building on the current resurgence of formalism(s) in theoretical conversations across humanistic and social disciplines, this issue explores identitarian critique in experimental film and art; formalism in film studies, critical theory, and queer theory; deconstructive methods and formlessness; race, labor, and gender in museum practices; and Marx’s concept of species-being and capitalist form.
