By delineating patterns of interaction between living and inorganic beings through the lens of this aesthetic concept, Lather maps a body of canonical texts onto the new critical terrains comprised by the new materialisms and cognitive humanities and reveals the points of intersection between cognitive processes and the material entities produced by them. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe result is an innovative contribution to both Classics and New Materialism studies, uncovering the intimate and reciprocal interaction between minds and matter as central to ancient Greek aesthetic experience. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Amy Lather\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474462359\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474462358\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/22\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.69d","brand":"Amy Lather","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44045465911551,"sku":"9781474462358","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ea8074ee-667a-4d87-83bc-9c0a887c38a0.jpg?v=1684978917","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/materiality-and-aesthetics-in-archaic-amy-lather-9781474462358","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
