Jane Bennett

Influx and Efflux

Writing Up with Walt Whitman

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Exploring the question of human agency amidst a world teeming with powerful nonhuman influences, Jane Bennett draws upon Whitman, Thoreau, Caillois, Whitehead, and other poetic writers to link a non-anthropocentric model of self to a democratic pluralism and a syntax and style of writing appropriate to the entangled world in which we live.
