Burges is the author of Out of Sync & Out of Work: History and the Obsolescence of Labor in Contemporary Culture (Rutgers UP, 2018) and co-editor, with Amy J. Elias, of Time: A Vocabulary of the Present (NYU Press, 2016). His current work includes Television and the Work of
Writing (which explores writing for television as both economic labor and aesthetic craft – as work and form – from Rod Serling, Carl Reiner, William Greaves, and Tina
Fey to Michaela Coel, Mindy Kaling, Jill Soloway, and Matthew Weiner) and Late Bourgeois Unities, a more experimental investigation of affect, form, and subjectivity in a time of class morbidity and economic
stagnation. His writing has appeared in New German Critique, Post45,
Digital Humanities Quarterly, and Cinema Journal.
