Silence in Middle Eastern and Western Thought (eBook, ePUB)

The Radical Unspoken

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Presenting an engaging reflection on the work of prominent modern Iranian literary artists in exchange with contemporary Continental literary criticism and philosophy, this book tracks the idea of silence - through the prism of poetics, dreaming, movement, and the body - across the textual imaginations of both Western and Middle Eastern authors. Through this comparative nexus, it explores the overriding relevance of silence in modern thought, relating the single concept of "the radical unspoken" to the multiple registers of critical theory and postcolonial writing.
