Angered at seeing your children indoctrinated into adhering to patriarchy, neoliberal capitalism, and general compliance with authority each time they open a book of verse? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eI Can Say Interpellation remedies these problems by reconfiguring some of the best-known children's rhymes for political purpose. Taking French theorist Guy Debord's idea of detournement (a deflection or divergence of existing visual images and mass media), and applying it to children's poetry, experimental poet Stephen Cain redeploys the rhymes and images of well-known juvenile poems against their dominant messages. The result is a new poetic landscape where the Fox in Socks becomes Marx on a Box, where \"Goodnight Moon\" is a meditation on possible nuclear annihilation, and \"The Owl and the Pussycat\" features debates on the importance of pre-emptive military strikes to U.S. foreign policy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHumorous, yet politically insightful, I Can Say Interpellation is for very smart kidsï 1\/2and for adults who want to keep them that way.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen Cain\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1897388845\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781897388846\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Book*hug Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/30\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Stephen Cain","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48486229541119,"sku":"9781897388846","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1171563f-42cd-4457-b72f-e02c0659466a.jpg?v=1778054461","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/i-can-say-interpellation-stephen-cain-9781897388846","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
