{"product_id":"journey-to-wenzhou","title":"Journey to Wenzhou","description":"\u003cp\u003e“Journey to Wenzhou explores anarchy and the concept of \"de-production\" through a dystopian future or alternate present, where chance, imagined consensus, supernatural forces, and disjointed fragments of life intertwine. After a year of unemployment, sustained by the dwindling costs of living and the co-dependence of friends, I have been increasingly with ease in the recognition of the ideas shaped by the state’s discursive framework, from which I have distanced myself. For example, the moral value of “being employed” (versus joblessness), the form of labor control and social obedience training driven by the idea of “outperforming others” , as well as with the moral underpinnings that encourage competition. As an Urban Planning major, I was disillusioned to discover the latent violence in state-driven government planning enforced by coercive power. Only by stepping away from these institutions was I able to observe the subtle strategies of escape employed by ordinary people against systemic violence.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA surreal adventure set in the margins of a dystopian urban society where the protagonist explores an alternative way of living, designed by \u003cstrong\u003eFeng Feiteng\u003c\/strong\u003e, translation by \u003cstrong\u003eYuchen Fu\u003c\/strong\u003e, bilingual edition in English and Chinese.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoft cover 23 x 16,5 cm, 84 pages, Shanghai 2024\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gong Yi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57609630875988,"sku":null,"price":24.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0015\/8656\/1083\/files\/GongYiJourneytoWenzhou.jpg?v=1791993871","url":"https:\/\/boekiewoekie.com\/products\/journey-to-wenzhou","provider":"Boekie Woekie, books by artists","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
