In chapters attending to gothic bodies, spaces, books, and other objects, Gothic Things argues that the Gothic has always been about what happens when objects assume mysterious animacy or poetency and when human beings are reduced to the status of just one thing among many--more powerful--others. In exploring how the Gothic insistently decenters the human, Jeffrey Andrew Weinstock reveals human beings to be enmeshed in networks of human and nonhuman forces mostly outside of their control. Gothic Things thus resituates the Gothic as the uncanny doppelganger of twenty-first-century critical and cultural theory, lurking just beneath the surface (and sometimes explicitly surfacing) as it haunts considerations of how human beings interact with objects and their environment. In these pages the Gothic offers a dark reflection of the contemporary "nonhuman turn," expressing a twenty-first-century structure of feeling undergirded by anxiety of the fate of the human: spectrality, monstrosity, and apocalypse. Substituting horror for hope, the Gothic, Weinstock explains has been a philosophical meditations to live more harmoniously with the world around us."-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Gothic thing theory -- Dark enchantment and gothic materialism -- Body-as-thing -- Thing-as-body -- Book: How to do things with words -- Building: bigger on the inside -- Epilogue: The omnious matter of one's ordinary life. 650 0 $a Gothic fiction (Literary genre) $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Gothic revival (Literature) $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Fantasy fiction $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Human ecology in literature. 650 0 $a Human territoriality. 650 0 $a Human body (Philosophy) 650 7 $a Fantasy fiction $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00920710 650 7 $a Gothic fiction (Literary genre) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01745235 650 7 $a Gothic revival (Literature) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00945084 650 7 $a Human body (Philosophy) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01730063 650 7 $a Human ecology in literature $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00962998 650 7 $a Human territoriality $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00963473 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240517010400.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D0206718141211EF8F56A7732FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
