Lazz Kinnamon works at the intersection of Marxist feminism, attention studies, and critical theory. Their dissertation, Playing Attention: Marxism, Feminism, and the Politics of Presence, tracks the concept of attention from a materialist perspective to push back against presentist and technologically deterministic views of the so-called attention crisis in the US. The project looks at a variety of attention techniques from Silicon Valley mindfulness to second wave feminist Consciousness Raising to Pauline Oliveros' experimental sound exercises. The first publication from their dissertation reads the Silicon Valley mindfulness movement alongside Foucault's Care of the Self, and is featured in the special issue of Women Performance Living Labor: Marxism and Performance Studies.
