Rust

Rust: it's happening all the time, all around us. We cover it up. We ignore it. Jean-Michel Rabaté's *Rust* takes on the multitudinous meanings that this oxidized substance can hold, and shows how technology can bleed into biology and ecology. *Rust* blends eco-criticism with a post-Benjaminian allegorization of technology, ranging across art, autobiography, and science studies to explore the author's own fascination for peeling paints and rusty metal sheets as the interpenetration between the organic and the inorganic.
