Language at the Boundaries
Author: Peter Carravetta
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 1501363670
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 217
Book Description
Is poetry still relevant today, or is it merely a dwindling historical art? How have poets of the recent past dealt with challenges to poetics? Seeking to chart the poetic act in a period not so much hostile as indifferent to poetry, Language at the Boundaries outlines spaces where poetry and poetics emerge in migration, translation, world literature, canon formation, and the history of science and technology. One can only come so close to fully possessing or explaining everything about the poetic act, and this book grapples with these limits by perusing, analyzing, deconstructing, and reconstructing creativity, implementing different approaches in doing so. Peter Carravetta consolidates historical epistemological positions that have accrued over the last several decades, some spurred by the modernism/postmodernism debate, and unpacks their differences--juxtaposing Vico with Heidegger and applying the approaches of translation studies, decolonization, indigeneity, committed literature, and critical race theory, among others. What emerges is a defense and theory of poetics in the contemporary world, engaging the topic in a dialectic mode and seeking grounds of agreement.

The Humanist Project
Author: Peter Carravetta
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1666920371
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 285
Book Description
Humanistic studies has been subjected to critiques from the inside of the university disciplines and shrinking support structures on the outside; moreover, recent technological developments have trapped humans in the maws of the information machine, where will, agency, and dialogue are constantly stunted and mediated, disclosing a nihilistic, dilated present. Against this panorama, Peter Carravetta argues that there is a need to recover the “human” in humanistic reflection, here described as a free social, creative, yet elusive being, caught between idealizations (utopias, concepts of society, autonomy of powers), the realities of survival (basic economics and geographies), and the dynamics of power (the languages and the praxis of actually running the society). The Humanist Project: Will, Judgment, and Society from Dante to Vico presents Dante as the first true humanist, with his stressing the preeminence of free will and individual responsibility in the life of the polis; Boccaccio’s later encyclopedic works as a philosophy of existence and history; Pico della Mirandola’s autopoiesis of the thinking and acting human in light of recent theories of interpretation, the self, and society; Machiavelli and the challenge of chance in determining sociohistorical patterns; Campanella as the last true utopic writer and first to conceive of a realist, world-scale political vision; and Vico as the thinker who identifies and describes the dialectic between historical recurrences and the free will of the individual.

Transversal Rationality and Intercultural Texts
Author: Hwa Yol Jung
Publisher: Ohio University Press
ISBN: 0821443690
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 417
Book Description
Transversality is the keyword that permeates the spirit of these thirteen essays spanning almost half a century, from 1965 to 2009. The essays are exploratory and experimental in nature and are meant to be a transversal linkage between phenomenology and East Asian philosophy. Transversality is the concept that dispels all ethnocentrisms, including Eurocentrism. In the globalizing world of multiculturalism, Eurocentric universalism falls far short of being universal but simply parochial at the expense of the non-Western world. Transversality is intercultural, interspecific, interdisciplinary, and intersensorial. Transversal Rationality and Intercultural Texts means to transform the very way of philosophizing itself by infusing or hybridizing multiple traditions in the history of the world. Like no other scholar, Jung bridges the gap between Asian and Western cultures. By engaging Western philosophers as diverse as Bacon, Descartes, Heidegger, Hegel, Merleau-Ponty, Derrida, Glissant, Barthes, Fenollosa, McLuhan, and Eastern philosophers such as Wang Yang-ming, Nishida Kitaro, Nishitani Keiji, Watsuji Tetsuro, Nhat Hanh, and Suzuki Daisetz Teitaro, this book marks an unparalleled contribution to comparative philosophy and the study of philosophy itself.
