Interpreting Susan Sontag’s Essays: Radical Contemplative: Routledge Research in American Literature and Culture

Autor Mark Fulk
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mai 2023
Interpreting Susan Sontag’s Essays: Radical Contemplative offers its readers a scholarly examination of her essays within the context of philosophy and aesthetic theory. This study sets up a dialogue between her works and their philosophical counterparts in France and Germany, including the works of Hannah Arendt, Jacques Derrida, Roland Barthes, and Walter Benjamin. Artists and concepts discussed in relation to Sontag’s essays include the works of Andy Warhol, Pop Art, French New Wave Cinema, the music of John Cage, and the cinematic art of Robert Bresson, Leni Riefenstahl, Ingmar Bergman, and Jean-Luc Godard. Her aesthetic formalism is compared with Harold Bloom, and this is the first volume to examine her late works and their position within the American events of 9/11/01 and the War on Terror(ism).

Recenzii

“Susan Sontag’s public scholarship has been woefully under-read, and has a great deal to tell us in our current society and moment. Dr. Fulk’s book offers an important lens on this vital voice and set of essays, and should advance both Sontag studies and American Studies in significant ways as a result.” Ben Railton, Professor of English Studies, Fitchburg State University
