{"product_id":"defined-by-a-hollow-raffaella-baccolini-9783039114030","title":"Defined by a Hollow: Essays on Utopia, Science Fiction and Political Epistemology","description":"This volume incorporates Darko Suvin's thinking on utopian horizons in fiction and on eutopian and dystopian readings of historical reality since the 1970s. While the focus is on the United States and the United Kingdom, the essays also draw on French, German and Russian sources. The book is composed of eighteen chapters, including four sets of poems. The chapters include heretic reflections on utopian fiction, science fiction and utopian studies, explorations of dystopias, and epistemological examinations of political standpoint. Throughout, plebeian history is the stance from which all the author's value judgements are made. The essays and poems engage with the empirical world and identify areas of hope. In a dark dystopian time, they reaffirm eutopia, the radically better place to be striven for in every here and now.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Raffaella Baccolini\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3039114034\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783039114030\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Ltd, International Academic Publis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/14\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 586\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.25d","brand":"Raffaella Baccolini","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44125940351231,"sku":"9783039114030","price":91.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_67656721-e80b-474d-9df3-6f00c801506b.jpg?v=1687445420","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/defined-by-a-hollow-raffaella-baccolini-9783039114030","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
