Chaohybrids Five Uneasy Peaces

Five essays, drawing inspiration from various theoretical strands, contemplate the ambivalence of contemporary life. Lippens uses psycho-geographical imagery as a metaphor for this life, utilizing this motif in a postmodern literary style, which shakes the reader's preconceived notions from them. Theories touched upon throughout the book include postcolonial thought, poststructuralism, cultural studies and radical democratic theory.
