In this interdisciplinary text, Alix Olson mobilizes an unconventional and eclectic archive of radical democratic, ecofeminist and queer theory, feminist poetry, and Afro-futurist literature in order to elicit the film's relevance as a guide for radical political struggle. The book is particularly attuned to \u003ci\u003eMad Max's\u003c\/i\u003e depiction of “another world as possible,” a slogan which serves as an aspirational impetus for activism and to the nature of radical social change more broadly.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough close analysis, the book weaves together “thought-bites” in order to track pressing questions about power relations within neoliberal capitalism: How might reading the film through contemporary queer and feminist thinkers and activist movements teach us about the possibilities and limitations of resistance? How do utopia and dystopia (pre)figure and interact as post-capitalist horizons? Should we understand ecofeminism as a liberatory or essentializing force? What might the temporality of “slow critique,” performed by a minute-by-minute textual reading, expose about our approach to political life more generally? How can popular art uproot the common-sense nature of everyday life under neoliberal capitalism and render taken-for-granted logics irrational or dystopian?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAlix Olson\u003c\/b\u003e is Assistant Professor of Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Emory University- Oxford College, USA, and co-director of Emory University's Studies in Sexualities program.
