| Summary |
"After more than a century of genocides and in the midst of a global pandemic, this book focuses on the critique of biopolitics (the government of life through individuals and the general population) and the counter-development of biopoetics (an aesthetics of life elaborating a self as a practice of freedom) realized in texts by Woolf, Foucault, and Ondaatje. Their world fiction produces transhistorical, transnational experiences offered to the reader for collective responsibility in these critical times. Their books function as heterotopias: spaces and processes that recall and confront regimes of recognized truths to dismantle fixed identities and actualize possibilities for becoming other. Our work defines and explores a slant, biopoetic perspective that is feminist, materialist, anti-racist, and anti-war"-- Provided by publisher. |
