Reviews

This Obscure Thing Called Transparency is a timely, wide-ranging, and innovative collection of essays on the metaphorical opacities of 'transparency' from the modern period to the current pandemic crisis. [...] Focused on heterogeneous and illuminating case studies of transparency - from modernist architecture to Wikileaks, shop windows to digital screens, painting to film, new media to the Covid-19 pandemic, among other perspectives - this volume casts a new, informed, and revealing light on the political and aesthetic paradoxes of transparency in the contemporary age.Nidesh Lawtoo, Tijdschrift voor Filosofie: Louvain Journal of Philosophy 84 (2022), nr. 2
