Synopsis "Alien Forms and Minor Genres. A Speculative Handbook of Academic Labor"

Alien Forms and Minor Genres speculates about how and why academia cultivates, manages, and rewards academic labor. Examining these issues within the context of the multidisciplinary field of Global Asias, Tina Chen tracks the diverse trajectories of research creation to delineate capaciously-imagined forms of scholarly labor and demonstrate their constructed value. She uses an experimental structure, setting examples of intellectual work in academia such as the book proposal, the lesson plan, and the syllabi against more in-depth genre criticism of research and service activities. By giving readers a look behind the curtain at these routine parts of academia and exploring the potential for alternative genres in intellectual inquiry, Chen reconceptualizes the nature, function, and praxis of scholarly work, showing how processes of academic labor are critical to creating and advancing scholarly knowledge.

Tina Chen’s Alien Forms and Minor Genres is an innovative exploration of how academia cultivates, manages, and rewards academic labor. Using the multidisciplinary field of Global Asias as her primary example, Chen gives readers a full sense of the backstage labor of institutional scholarship and imagines potential alternatives for intellectual inquiry.
