Over the decades readers have found a punk Acker, a feminist Acker, a queer Acker, a kink Acker, and an avant-garde Acker. In \u003ci\u003ePhilosophy for Spiders\u003c\/i\u003e, McKenzie Wark adds a trans Acker. Wark recounts her memories of Acker (with whom she had a passionate affair) and gives a comprehensive reading of her published and archived works. Wark finds not just an inventive writer of fiction who pressed against the boundaries of gender but a theorist whose comprehensive philosophy of life brings a conceptual intelligence to the everyday life of those usually excluded from philosophy's purview. As Wark shows, Acker's engagement with topics such as masturbation, sadism, body-building, and penetrative sex are central to her distinct phenomenology of the body that theorizes the body's relation to others, the city, and technology.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Duke University Press Books","offers":[{"title":"Philosophy for Spiders | McKenzie Wark | Paperback | 9781478014683 | New | Literary Criticism 1676396","offer_id":50794516316418,"sku":"1676396","price":36.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/81Hc26TfYXL_d0137ee9-ae69-4aa4-b642-d06def45d418.jpg?v=1792361491","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/philosophy-for-spiders","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
