A broad, ambitious cultural and intellectual history, the book offers a provocative reinterpretation of a topic that has long been the subject of controversy. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn works infused with rhetorics of abjection, disgust, and dissolution, such writers as Maulnier, Brasillach, Céline, and Blanchot imagined the nation through figures deemed illegitimate or inferior--Jews, colonial subjects, homosexuals, women. Sanos argues that these intellectuals offered an \"aesthetics of hate,\" reinventing a language of far-right nationalism by appealing to the realm of beauty and the sublime for political solutions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBy acknowledging the constitutive relationship of antisemitism and colonial racism at the heart of these canonical writers' nationalism, this book makes us rethink how aesthetics and politics function, how race is imagined and defined, how gender structured far-right thought, and how we conceive of French intellectualism and fascism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sandrine Sanos\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0804774579\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804774574\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/24\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2013","brand":"Sandrine Sanos","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065150255359,"sku":"9780804774574","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ec5876db-bb6d-42ea-8a85-042388484920.jpg?v=1768673328","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-aesthetics-of-hate-sandrine-sanos-9780804774574","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
