{"product_id":"accented-speech-in-literature-art-tingting-hui-9789048569007","title":"Accented Speech in Literature, Art, and Theory: Melodramas of the Foreign Tongue","description":"In our globalized world, a unique type of intercultural encounter has emerged: that between the speaking body and the foreign language. From Vladimir Nabokov and Maxine Hong Kingston to Yoko Tawada, writers have vividly captured the tensions and possibilities of this encounter--where tongues are \"murderous\" and words become feasts. \u003ccite\u003eAccented Speech in Literature, Art, and Theory\u003c\/cite\u003e offers an analysis of speaking, writing, and performing with an accented non-native tongue. Through an evocative blend of theoretical rigor and literary sensibility, Tingting Hui spotlights the \"melodrama\" of accented speech--a performance that exposes the bodily nature of language, bridging the erotic and the vulnerable, the audible and the visual. By rethinking accented voices as critical figures of resistance and creativity, this book invites readers to embrace the symphony of sounds that challenge norms and unsettle hierarchies. A richly textured journey, it celebrates the accent as a site of desire, vulnerability, and creativity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tingting Hui\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9048569001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789048569007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Amsterdam University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/25\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Tingting Hui","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46974687052031,"sku":"9789048569007","price":136.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_32113922-6e0c-490d-8367-ebd0c48d861b.jpg?v=1750875767","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/accented-speech-in-literature-art-tingting-hui-9789048569007","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
