{"product_id":"political-aesthetics-in-the-era-christopher-pye-9780810142176","title":"Political Aesthetics in the Era of Shakespeare","description":"The turn to political concerns in Renaissance studies, beginning in the 1980s, was dictated by forms of cultural materialism that staked their claims against the aesthetic dimension of the work. Recently, however, the more robustly political conception of the aesthetic formulated by theorists such as Theodor Adorno and Jacques Ranci re has revitalized literary analysis generally and early modern studies in particular. For these theorists, aesthetics forms the crucial link between politics and the most fundamental phenomenological organization of the world, what Ranci re terms the \"distribution of the sensible.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Taking up this expansive conception of aesthetics, \u003ci\u003ePolitical Aesthetics in the Era of Shakespeare\u003c\/i\u003e suggests that the political stakes of the literary work--and Shakespeare's work in particular--extend from the most intimate dimensions of affective response to the problem of the grounds of political society. The approaches to aesthetic thought included in this volume explore the intersections between the literary work and the full range of concerns animating the field today: political philosophy, affect theory, and ecocritical analysis of environs and habitus.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christopher Pye\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0810142171\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780810142176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Northwestern University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/15\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.75d","brand":"Christopher Pye","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43941052940543,"sku":"9780810142176","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_d36a2525-fb9d-402b-ae31-7e5cc8b33543.jpg?v=1681450634","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/political-aesthetics-in-the-era-christopher-pye-9780810142176","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
