But what is clarity, how is it practised in writing across disciplinary borders and how does it affect our ways of researching and thinking? This book explores such questions by scrutinising the ideal of clarity beyond its apparently self-evident value. Through a multi-methodological empirical analysis of the ideal of clarity, the author offers a sketch of what is termed 'the poetics of clarity', which is unfolded as a field of tension with important implications for sentence formation, authorial positioning and textual organisation. By way of a series of reflections on the possible consequences of this for thinking, this volume also explores the parts of knowledge production that may be marginalised, especially poetic language use, biases, interests and contexts, multi-dimensional arguments and errors. Revealing a positivist bias and a regime of high-speed consumption that characterise what, in certain regards, might be considered a productive space for knowledge production, \u003ci\u003eWriting and Thinking in Contemporary Academia\u003c\/i\u003e will appeal to scholars with interests in the sociology of knowledge, continental philosophy, the philosophy of science and academic writing. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martin Grünfeld\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138312134\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138312135\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/20\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 158\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.44d","brand":"Martin Grünfeld","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48087722787071,"sku":"9781138312135","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b7b61f96-44ca-49a5-9898-bcd362c0af83.jpg?v=1769101037","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/writing-and-thinking-in-contemporary-martin-grznfeld-9781138312135","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
