Often discussed solely as symbols or metaphors of the human experience, plants become here the primary focus and their role in literature and film is extended beyond their symbolic function.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003ePlants have been (and still are) seen as closer to static objects than to living, moving beings. Making use of examples from film and literature, Janet Janzen demonstrates a shift in the perception of plants-as-objects to plants-as-living-beings that can be attributed to new technology and also to the return of Romantic and Vitalistic discourses on nature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Janet Janzen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004327169\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004327160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/08\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.10w x 0.50d","brand":"Janet Janzen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46825824420095,"sku":"9789004327160","price":104.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a7076ef3-4b73-4687-b968-04c585dfd205.jpg?v=1746073733","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/media-modernity-and-dynamic-plants-janet-janzen-9789004327160","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
