Unhomely Wests: Essays from A to Z: Postwestern Horizons
Autor Stephen Tatumen Paperback – iul 2024
In keeping with the etymological and conceptual linkage between the unhomely and the uncanny, Tatum’s critical meditations focus on both uncanny textual architectures and architecturally unhomely junkspaces of abandonment and ruin, of corporeal displacement, and of cognitive or affective disorientation. And since an emergent unhomely structure of feeling exposes how our lived present is saturated with history’s apparitional revenants, this collection of essays—comprising a new lexicon of unhomely Wests—conveys a hauntology underwritten by spectrality as a theme, a trope, an image. Committed to revising the conventional academic text, Unhomely Wests exemplifies Roland Barthes’s directive that we consider the alphabetic order as a call to “Cut! Resume the story in another way!”

Recenzii
“Unhomely Wests offers scholars and public intellectuals an important new means for approaching critical regional studies. In this engaging and insightful work, Stephen Tatum provides an innovative model for assessing the complexities of life under ecologically destructive and dehumanizing conditions that are shaping the region today.”—Susan Kollin, author of Captivating Westerns: The Middle East in the American West
“Given that both its content and its form can help us think more expansively about the U.S. West and about the concepts of homelessness and unhomeliness that sit at the center of this study, Unhomely Wests is an important and necessary book. Its approach and structure are unique and compelling, as is its centering of certain key concepts.”—Sylvan Goldberg, professor of English at Colorado College
Descriere
