Ghost Chair Available to Purchase

Chapter 6 focuses on the monobloc chair (the lightweight, white, stackable, plastic, ubiquitous, and anonymous chair) as an object to think about the relation between pneuma and design. The chapter analyzes the popularity of the chair as an icon of neoliberalism among Catholic Charismatics. It highlights how the material and aesthetic properties of the chair encode unsuspecting relations among politics, plasticity, and citizenship in a religious tradition such as Catholicism that has long valued weight and gravity.
