| Summary |
We live in an age of lists, from magazine features to online clickbait. This book situates the list in a long tradition, asking key questions about the list as a cultural and communicative form.

Connecting German theories of cultural techniques to Anglo-American approaches that address similar issues, 'List Cultures' makes a major contribution to debates about New Materialism and the post-human turn |
