Thinking Blue/Writing Red interrogates contemporary culture across a range of texts, from the pandemic (‘Covid’ and ‘Trump Speak’) to high theory (Melville’s narratives) and popular culture (Beyoncé’s ‘Formation’ and Super Bowl performance, Twin Peaks , metamodern ‘cli-fi’ films). Inspired by Derrida’s idea of the secret, Tumino examines the significance of social movements (Black Lives Matter, Occupy, alter-globalization) and naïve art (Darger, Ryden) to argue that these texts speak of the secrets that capitalism cannot speak. Contending that the cultural surfaces narrate only the ‘nonsecret, ’ that to see the social logic of the culture one must dig into what Bruno Latour questions as the ‘deep dark below, ’ Thinking Blue/Writing Red reads these texts to tease out the underlying narratives of the culture of capital.
This book will be of interest to students in several disciplines, including philosophy, literary and cultural studies, film studies, women’s studies, critical race studies, history, LGBTQ+ studies and environmental studies.
