Extract
This book has seen many twists and turns over several years of research and, accordingly, I have many individuals and audiences to thank for engaging various aspects of the project: for indulging all kinds of inchoate musings and speculations about neoliberalism, late liberalism, biopolitics, Foucault, precarity, pain, pleasure, and the social contract, Ladelle McWhorter, Jana Sawicki, Falguni Sheth, Kimberly Springer, Mary Thomas, Matt Coleman, Phillip Armstrong, Becky Mansfield, Marc Spindelman, Michael Bray, and graduate students in Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies and Comparative Studies at Ohio State, especially Meredith Lee, Matt Brenn, and Divya Sundar; for thinking about race and all its damning contortions, bell hooks and Kimberly Springer; for persistent thinking and work on ethics, bell hooks, Lynne Huffer, and Cynthia Willett; for helpful suggestions and feedback on thinking through Lacan, Andrew Cutrofello and Tim Dean; for indulging a stream of random questions on Marx, Amy Wendling; for disabusing me of pursuing apathy as a neoliberal affect, Falguni Sheth; for priceless help in navigating the contemporary world of cool, J. Brendan Shaw; for helping me sort through the difficulty of writing about New Orleans, Thom McClendon; for encouraging me to embrace charts and tables (to say the least), Alison Kafer; for brainstorming cool titles, Andy Cavins, Lynaya Elliott, and Tess Pugsley; and for inspiring cheerleading, Marie Draz, Perry Zurn, and Andrew Dilts. I also offer a special thanks to Kehinde Wiley for allowing me to use his artwork on the cover and in the fifth interlude, which captures real cool now. At Columbia University Press, I thank Wendy Lochner for believing in this project for so long and Christine Dunbar for tireless assistance. I thank an anonymous reviewer for generously reining in parts of my argument regarding Marxism and pushing me to think more seriously about social cathexis. Finally, I thank Lynne Huffer for believing in this project with such enthusiasm and becoming an important voice in my final thinking about it: your generosity and fierce insight are inspiring.
