Press blurb: Argentina, once heralded as the future of capitalist progress,
has a long history of economic volatility. In 2001–2002, a financial crisis
led to its worst economic collapse, precipitating a dramatic currency
devaluation, the largest sovereign default in world history, and the flight
of foreign capital. Protests and street blockades punctuated a moment of
profound political uncertainty, epitomized by the rapid succession of five
presidents in four months. Since then, Argentina has fought economic fires
on every front, from inflation to the cost of utilities and depressed
industrial output. When things clearly aren’t working, when the constant
churning of booms and busts makes life almost unlivable, how does our
deeply compromised order come to seem so inescapable? How does critique
come to seem so blunt, even as crisis after crisis appears on the horizon?
What are the lived effects of that sense of inescapability?

Anthropologist Sarah Muir offers a cogent meditation on the limits of
critique at this historical moment, drawing on deep experience in Argentina
but reflecting on a truly global condition. If we feel things are being
upended in a manner that is ongoing, tumultuous, and harmful, what would we
need to do—and what would we need to give up—to usher in a revitalized
critique for today’s world? *Routine Crisis *is an original provocation and
a challenge to think beyond the limits of exhaustion and reimagine a form
of criticism for the twenty-first century.
