{"product_id":"the-historicity-of-experience-krzysztof-ziarek-9780810118362","title":"The Historicity of Experience: Modernity, the Avant-Garde, and the Event","description":"In this groundbreaking volume, Krzysztof Ziarek rethinks modern experience by bringing together philosophical critiques of modernity and avant-garde poetry. Ziarek explores, through selective readings of avant-garde poetry, the key aspects of the radical critique of experience: technology, everydayness, event, and sexual difference. To that extent, \u003ci\u003eThe Historicity of Experience \u003c\/i\u003eis less a book about the avant-garde than a critique of experience through the avant-garde. Ziarek reads the avant-garde in dialogue with the work of some of the major critics of modernity (Martin Heidegger, Walter Benjamin, Jean-François Lyotard, and Luce Irigaray) to show how avant-garde experiments bear critically on the issue of modern experience and its technological organization. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The four poets Ziarek considers--Gertrude Stein, Velimir Khlebnikov, Miron Biaoszewski, and Susan Howe--demonstrate the broad reach of and variety of forms taken by the avant-garde revision of experience and aesthetics. Moreover, this quartet illustrates how the main operative concepts and strategies of the avant-garde underpinned the practices of canonical writers. A profound philosophical meditation on language, modernity, and the everyday, The Historicity of Experience offers a fundamental reconceptualization of the avant-garde in relation to experience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Krzysztof Ziarek\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 081011836X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780810118362\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 08\/30\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 355\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.08lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.94h x 6.02w x 0.84d","brand":"Krzysztof Ziarek","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48065160937727,"sku":"9780810118362","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ce5677e1-b745-42dc-aabc-25518182896f.jpg?v=1768673393","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-historicity-of-experience-krzysztof-ziarek-9780810118362","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
