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. 410 0$aVerbal arts: studies in poetics. 606 $aPoetry, Modern$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aComparative literature 606 $aLiterature and globalization 615 0$aPoetry, Modern$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aComparative literature. 615 0$aLiterature and globalization. 676 $a809.1/04 700 $aEdmond$b Jacob$0982321 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827102203321 996 $aA common strangeness$93973491 997 $aUNINA
