Let’s face it – not just our bodies but our imagination. You might well ask, how can we think from and within exhaustion? As it happens, \u003ci\u003eFuck Healing (?) The Insomniac Dreamers \u003c\/i\u003eargues that this exhausted and exhausting mode of existence, rather than foreclosing possibilities, becomes a locus where alternative, collective, and radical futures can be imagined, dreamed, actualised and even creatively mobilised as a conceptual lens that enables new worlds begin to form.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThis book approaches exhaustion not as an end, but as a method: a way of inhabiting exhaustion differently, by attending to the fractures and fissures of exhausted bodies, institutions and systems as openings towards their recompositions otherwise. Activating Gilles Deleuze’s text 'The Exhausted' in relation to these porous contemporary conditions, \u003ci\u003eFuck Healing (?) The Insomniac Dreamers\u003c\/i\u003e gathers a constellation of collective practices: creatively written contributions, zines, illustrated short stories, theoretical essays, experimental forms of storytelling and collaborative texts. It fabricates a non-hierarchical, transversal constellation of thoughts, where ideas negotiate and recombine with one another in unpredictable proximities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Fuck Healing (?) collective is a gathering of artists, educators and thinkers who critically interrogate ideas of 'healing' as proximate to hegemonic regimes of conformity and normative perceptions of health. From this position, the collective questions the notion of healing as the transition from a state of ‘unwellness’ to ‘well’ and ‘healthy’, and propositionally work with methods to institute ongoing practices of care beyond these reductive categories. Through collaborative organisations, the Fuck Healing (?) collective questions the merits of our wounds, the divergent momentum they present, and recognise the future modes of 'becomings' that 'breaking' may allow us. Together, they refuse the imperative to restore, to fix, to return to what was – 'Instead, we fabricate - from exhaustion, fractures, and woundings - the dream of a world otherwise'.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eSet Margins', 292pp, 12cm x 20cm, illustrated paperback, 2026\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Public Knowledge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57699995582837,"sku":"M-FU-11461-S","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0079\/5974\/0505\/files\/FuckHealing.jpg?v=1793195089","url":"https:\/\/store.magalleria.co.uk\/products\/fuck-healing-the-insomniac-dreamers-the-dream-of-a-world-that-has-to-be-fabricated","provider":"Magalleria","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
