As a consequence, this book proposes transscalar critique as a mode of literary criticism. Organized around specific crises and authors, \u003ci\u003eTransscalar Critique \u003c\/i\u003eargues that crisis offers a window into how competing analytical, artistic, and planetary frameworks collide. In a moment of crisis, questions of race, geology, politics, epistemology, and ontology are brought into focus in surprising and unexpected ways and \u003ci\u003eTransscalar Critique\u003c\/i\u003e uses the literary, critical, and public policy responses to these events to reveal connections between the human and nonhuman worlds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Henry Ivry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1399506471\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781399506472\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 11\/30\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.49d","brand":"Henry Ivry","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48458061644031,"sku":"9781399506472","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_def24223-f531-43f8-aa50-8aaabcd5562d.jpg?v=1777402203","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/transscalar-critique-henry-ivry-9781399506472","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
