{"product_id":"reading-as-democracy-in-crisis-james-rovira-9781498553865","title":"Reading as Democracy in Crisis: Interpretation, Theory, History","description":"Reading as Democracy in Crisis: Interpretation, Theory, History explores the dialectic between historical conditions and the reading strategies that arise from them. Chapters covering Plato and Derrida; G.W.F. Hegel; Karl Marx; Ludwig Wittgenstein; Robert Penn Warren; Louise Rosenblatt; Theodor Adorno, Michel Foucault, and Jacques Derrida; Judith Butler; and Object Oriented Ontology and Digital Humanities provide overviews of and arguments about each subject's thought in its historical contexts, suggesting how the reading strategies adopted in each case were in part motivated by specific historical circumstances. As the introduction explains, these circumstances often involved forms of democracy in crisis, so that the collection as a whole is an engagement with the dialectic between democracies that are perpetually in crisis and the seemingly unlimited freedom of our reading practices.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Rovira\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1498553869\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781498553865\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lexington Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/26\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 198\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d","brand":"James Rovira","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44124188246271,"sku":"9781498553865","price":105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c52d768e-75f4-4b2a-a98a-aa905a052915.jpg?v=1687435264","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/reading-as-democracy-in-crisis-james-rovira-9781498553865","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
