Arguing that slime is a viable physical and metaphysical \u003cbr\u003eobject necessary to produce a realist bio-philosophy void of anthrocentricity, this text explores \u003cbr\u003enaturephilosophie, speculative realism, and contemporary science; hyperbolic representations of slime \u003cbr\u003efound in the weird texts of HP Lovecraft and Thomas Ligotti; as well as survival horror films, video \u003cbr\u003egames, and graphic novels, in order to present the dynamics of slime not only as the trace of life \u003cbr\u003ebut as the darkly vitalistic substance of life.\u003cbr\u003e,\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ben Woodard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Zero Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/16\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 84\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.20h x 0.10w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781780992488","brand":"Zero Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45486808694921,"sku":"9781780992488","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_1d8c78d9-d7b8-49ff-8b09-30a585f35cc7.jpg?v=1775543675","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/slime-dynamics-generation-mutation-and-the-creep-of-life-9781780992488","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
