SPRINGER, Anna-Sophie; TURPIN, Etienne (eds.)
Decapited Economies

A collection of carefully assembled contributions explores a wide spectrum of headlessness and its many operational forms—ranging from the invention of the guillotine to the maintenance of museum repositories, annual shareholder reports to Indigenous sovereignty struggles, neuroscientific advancements to brain surgery narratives, as well as the housing crisis, ocean pollution, settlement and cerealization, wheat banks, political murder, human extinction, and much more.
