What might literary responses to the events that ushered in our era of globalization tell us about the rhetorical and historical underpinnings of these dichotomies?In A Common Strangeness, Jacob Edmond exemplifies a new, multilingual and multilateral approach to literary and cultural studies. He begins with the entrance of China into multinational capitalism and the appearance of the Parisian flâneur in the writings of a Chinese poet exiled in Auckland, New Zealand. Moving among poetic examples in Russian, Chinese, and English, he then traces a series of encounters shaped by economic and geopolitical events from the Cultural Revolution, perestroika, and the June 4 massacre to the collapse of the Soviet Union, September 11, and the invasion of Iraq. In these encounters, Edmond tracks a shared concern with strangeness through which poets contested old binary oppositions as they reemerged in new, post-Cold War forms.Verbal arts: studies in poetics.Poetry, Modern20th centuryHistory and criticismComparative literatureLiterature and globalizationPoetry, ModernHistory and criticism.Comparative literature.Literature and globalization.809.1/04Edmond Jacob982321MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910827102203321A common strangeness3973491UNINA
