Drawing from Woolf's and Rhys's personal writings and fictions, Talviste demonstrates that Woolf and Rhys locate this attachment to life in the moments and atmospheres of 'strange intimacy' - in sensual, affective and oddly intimate moments that function as cracks in the dominant patriarchal and imperial ideologies of Woolf's and Rhys's times. To theorise strange intimacy, this monograph rethinks the feminist works of Hélène Cixous, especially her attention to materiality, affect and embodiment, in the light of contemporary affect studies and new materialism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eret Talviste\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1399502379\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781399502375\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 10\/31\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Eret Talviste","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47611673936127,"sku":"9781399502375","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2ebbdf32-9c1b-4bca-a9a7-21a84f46ae9a.jpg?v=1764515319","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/strange-intimacies-affect-embodiment-eret-talviste-9781399502375","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
