Set on Idan Hayosh' s peculiar Instagram page of women holding dead fish, The Instagram Archipelago is a conversation with contemporary culture' s logics of gender and race. Working through recent thinking in Black studies and Hayosh' s satirical images, Elliot C. Mason presents the aesthetics of capitalism as a sea that makes everything the same, turning the world into a single form. The Instagram Archipelago brings radical antiracist and feminist scholarship to a general audience, applying a model of thinking beyond gender and race to the strange world of online fishing photos. This funny and fascinating book moves past the liberal celebration of gender and race, towards a tiny island of resistance in a growing archipelago.
Elliot C. Mason is a poet, essayist, and PhD candidate at Uppsala University. He is the author of two collections of poetry - Materials for Building a City, and City Embers - and one academic book - Building Black: Towards Antiracist Architecture. His essays, poems, and translations are widely published, and his plays have been performed at many theatres. He lives with his partner near Uppsala, Sweden.
