{"product_id":"poetics-and-justice-in-america-dean-anthony-brink-9781793627902","title":"Poetics and Justice in America, Japan, and Taiwan: Configuring Change and Entitlement","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePoetics and Justice in America, Japan, and Taiwan\u003c\/i\u003e shows how entitlements are implicated in all areas of life--human and nonhuman--that poetry reaches. Through a creative adaptation of Badiou's philosophical framing, this book argues that poetry matters as a form of media particularly suited to integrating diverse fields of knowledge and attention in newspapers, Tweets, and performance as well as volumes of poetry. Recasting intertextuality as more relational than referential, the author argues for the importance of poetry in realizing how social change and ecological justice are bound up in our orientations of affiliation. Each chapter focuses on particular sets of problems engaged by poets in different contexts to various ends in Japan, the US, and Taiwan. Some chapters explore the subtle implications of openly provocative styles, while others question the muted poetic intimations of injustices that are left standing unchanged in the name of aesthetics. Poets and performance artists featured include Amiri Baraka, John Ashbery, Tawara Machi, Rodrigo Toscano, Hung Hung, and John Cage. The author argues for examining poetic expressions in terms of what discursive fusions and affiliations they embody beyond the intimation of good intentions or ironic passing over.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dean Anthony Brink\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1793627908\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781793627902\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lexington Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/28\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.81d","brand":"Dean Anthony Brink","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44450289582335,"sku":"9781793627902","price":126.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2250cfae-3af8-46b9-b85f-10fe4c07a175.jpg?v=1698503948","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/poetics-and-justice-in-america-dean-anthony-brink-9781793627902","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
