{"product_id":"language-at-the-boundaries-peter-carravetta-9781501363658","title":"Language at the Boundaries: Philosophy, Literature, and the Poetics of Culture","description":"Is poetry still relevant today, or is it merely a dwindling historical art? How have poets of the recent past dealt with challenges to poetics?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeeking to chart the poetic act in a period not so much hostile as indifferent to poetry, \u003ci\u003eLanguage at the Boundaries\u003c\/i\u003e outlines spaces where poetry and poetics emerge in migration, translation, world literature, canon formation, and the history of science and technology.One can only come so close to fully possessing or explaining everything about the poetic act, and this book grapples with these limits by perusing, analyzing, deconstructing, and reconstructing creativity, implementing different approaches in doing so. Peter Carravetta consolidates historical epistemological positions that have accrued over the last several decades, some spurred by the modernism\/postmodernism debate, and unpacks their differences--juxtaposing Vico with Heidegger and applying the approaches of translation studies, decolonization, indigeneity, committed literature, and critical race theory, among others. What emerges is a defense and theory of poetics in the contemporary world, engaging the topic in a dialectic mode and seeking grounds of agreement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Carravetta\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501363654\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501363658\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/08\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Peter Carravetta","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44584164327679,"sku":"9781501363658","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_11410bd1-ac32-445d-af1b-9e8cf2316c22.jpg?v=1701885661","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/language-at-the-boundaries-peter-carravetta-9781501363658","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
