Thomson draws the reader into the largely uninhabited space between philosophy and literature, providing new critical strategies that allow text and reader to respond to the very distance they share. These strategies involve a reconceptualization of distance that recognizes the productive and affirmative nature of separation. The Distant Relation will attract anyone interested in the ongoing struggle to overcome conventional interpretations of language, time, and identity within the broader context of philosophical trends and Spanish American studies.McGill-Queen's studies in the history of ideas ;30.Spanish American fiction20th centuryHistory and criticismTime in literatureIdentity (Philosophical concept) in literatureSpanish American fictionHistory and criticism.Time in literature.Identity (Philosophical concept) in literature.863/.609384Thomson Eoin Scott1557062MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910781906103321The distant relation3820315UNINA
