Real Recognition

What Literary Texts Reveal about Social Validation and the Politics of Identity

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Real Recognition investigates the complexities of literary and social recognition to put a fresh, cross-disciplinary spin on reader identification and social acknowledgment. It argues that literary texts can make readers get what social acknowledgment is all about and thereby help us redefine a key concept in the social sciences

Rezensionen

"This book breaks new intellectual ground in questioning notions of recognition based on either status or identity, in showing how literature can enhance and complicate existing notions of recognition, and in developing new concepts such as 'empty recognition' and in challenging existing ideas about the relation between recognition and redistribution. No other scholar, to my knowledge, has developed such a substantial account of the relations between recognition in literature and in the social sciences. It is a major contribution to scholarship that will certainly shape my own future thinking about recognition."
