Beyond Marx and Other Entries
Beyond Marx and Other Entries explores deep areas of semiotics, joined with economics, anthropology, sociology, history, philosophy and political science, even Franz Kafka's literary works. These are communicated by entries, based primarily on Gleicher’s actual blog Looking through the crack from 2013 to 2017. One might equate it to impressionist art, or the 'the one and the many'. Each entry is independent; nothing in one makes even an allusion to another. In reading, however, the reader will make connections and develop their own understandings of dystopian possibilities.
