Storefront’s Critical Halloween Party Bibliography is a compilation of readings that acts as a resource for individuals interested in investigating the topic of each year’s Critical Halloween event. The bibliography for this year’s theme of LUXURYfocuses in particular on issues of desire, excess, and aspirations of fairness.

 

Luxury can carry fluctuating pejorative and covetous connotations. With this bibliography, we collect existing philosophies, ideologies, and knowledge in the archives of history through a series of texts that sheds light upon the articulation of thoughts, costumes, and critique.
