Ltd, $c 2021. 300 $a xi, 331 pages : $b illustrations (black and white) ; $c 23 cm 530 $a Also available as an e-book. 520 $a "How can the humanities make an intervention in such a time as this, when life as we have known it hangs in pandemic balance since the spring of 2020-and when contagion calls for distancing and isolation, while loneliness cries out for the solace of touch? Perhaps only by being, at once, fearless, critical, sorrowing, exultant, enraged, intimate. Humanities, Provocateur brings you fourteen essays and two creative pieces by established as well as younger scholars and writers from America, Europe, the Middle East, South Africa and South Asia, in a bracing invitation to a freefall of reading. They travel from classical literatures and philosophy to twentieth-century writing, cinema and critical-imaginative thinking, grouped whimsically around a set of provocations-Gleaning, Perforation, Caprice, Paraphernalia, Descent, Flux, Flesh, Ephemera-and welcome you to argue, to cherish or to distrust. Taking sharp, sparkling twists and turns in thought and style, this eclectic collection of writings incites you to be intellectually adventurous and destitute at the same time. And, invoking Dante, to never be afraid, for our fate is our gift."--Publisher description. 500 $a Contributed articles. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Gleaning : Plato and Proust, Bedfellows: 'Concept' and 'Idea' from the Classical to the Modern / Aveek Sen -- Jean Genet and Jean-Paul Sartre: Writing in Resistance and the Practice of Theory / Michael Levenson -- Thinking with Cinema: Mani Kaul Reading Deleuze / Moinak Biswas -- Perforation : If the Outsider is Deeply Within / Charles Russell -- Dissident Poetics, Experimental Excess: Jaakko Yli-Juonikas' Finnish Novel Neuromaani / Laura Piippo -- Declassing Art: Manik Bandyopadhyay and Communist Aesthetics in India / Rajarshi Dasgupta -- Caprice : 'Vulva's School': Towards a Provisional Pedagogy / Sophie Seita -- Paraphernalia : Weaponisation of the Body in Goldman, Blair and Almadhoun / Eyal Amiran -- Freeing the Image and Cinematic Justice: Non-Partitioned Aesthetics in Kamal Aljafari's Recollection / Heidi Grunebaum -- Descent : The Homosexual and His Future (Cather, Clementi and Crisp) / Taylor Black -- Sapphic Lineages: Or, Notes for a Queer-Feminist Poetics / Brinda Bose -- Flux : Translation's Dissidence: Miraji becomes Sappho / Geeta Patel -- Is there a Homosexual in the Text? / Rahul Sen -- Flesh : This City, 'Stinking Corpse': Adonis's Poetics of Modernity and Death / Al-Khoder Al-Khalifa -- Eating Dissidence of Antonin Artaud: Towards a Poor Aesthetics / Soumyabrata Choudhury -- Ephemera : Nocturnals (A Reminiscence) / Anil Yadav, translated from the Hindi by Chinmaya Lal Thakur. 650 0 $a Humanities $x Philosophy. 650 0 $a Literature $x Aesthetics. 650 0 $a Aesthetics in literature. 650 7 $a Aesthetics in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00798734 650 7 $a Humanities $x Philosophy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00963617 650 7 $a Literature $x Aesthetics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00999956 700 1 $a Bose, Brinda, $e editor. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240320010850.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=356E8B34E67F11EE94C7D61345ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
