'Cultural (Im)mobilities and the Virocene: Mutating the Crisis deftly transcends both the myopic obsession with the crisis at hand and the optimistic platitudes about its aftermath that have circulated in popular pandemic commentary. In their place, Tzanelli offers a fresh perspective on the pandemic, arguing that it is not merely a momentary reordering of our daily (im)mobilities, but rather symptomatic of a new epoch in which recurring crises have become a hallmark of human life on earth. Tzanelli's diagnosis shifts the conversation into an altogether different register, inviting readers to question our deeply held assumptions about the nature of reality and pointing us toward the real hopes we might harbor for our future world.' - Jennie Germann Molz, College of the Holy Cross, US
