Minoritarian Aesthetics understands the aesthetic as not removed from the worlds of struggle, survival, politics, and labor, but instead as their very foundation and essence. Drawing from approaches across the humanities, books in this series will support the mapping of minoritarian aesthetics in both content and style, underscoring the practices that remake the world from minor voices and the critical location of the senses. We also invite work that deepens our sensory apprehension of the world through modes of artistic bodily sensation—from the haptic and tactile, olfactory, gustatory, visual, and the sonic to other sensate formations, such as the synesthetic and anesthetic.
