Reading ‘Race’ Relationally: Embodied Dispositions and Social Structures in Colson Whitehead’s Novels, his first book which is based on his doctoral dissertation, is forthcoming with transcript Verlag in early 2023. The book provides a reading of Whitehead’s first six novels that draws on Pierre Bourdieu’s relational sociology. His current research project, tentatively titled “Appropriately Automated Luxury Pastoralism: Lewis Mumford and the Radical Techno-Republican Constellation,” investigates a tradition of social and technological critique articulated in the context of the economic and ecological crises of the 1930s, its predecessors in radical 19th-century political thought, and the way in which it anticipates today’s discourses on automation, ecology, and postcapitalism. Lieber is a member of “The Failure of Knowledge / Knowledges of Failure,” a research network funded by the German Research Foundation. His contribution discusses Andy Warhol’s ambition to paint money from the perspective of Marxian value-form theory. It is part of a research project on analogies between socio-economic and aesthetic form tentatively titled “Spectral Objectivities.” In 2021, Lieber co-edited a special issue of Coils of the Serpent on “Im/possibility,” which includes his article on “The Living Dead in the Long Downturn.” In 2018, he co-edited a special issue on “Marx and the United States” of Amerikastudien / American Studies which commemorated the 200th anniversary of Karl Marx’s birthday and featured contributions by Joshua Clover, Michael Denning, Walter Benn Michaels, and others.
