Description:Poetry by Asian American writers has had a significant impact on the landscape of contemporary American poetry, and a book-length critical treatment of Asian American poetry is long overdue. In this groundbreaking book, Xiaojing Zhou demonstrates how many Asian American poets transform the conventional OC IOCO of lyric poetryOCobased on the traditional Western concept of the self and the Cartesian OC IOCOOCoto enact a more ethical relationship between the OC IOCO and its others.Drawing on Emmanuel LevinasOCOs idea of the ethics of alterityOCowhich argues that an ethical relation to the other is one that acknowledges the irreducibility of othernessOCoZhou offers a reconceptualization of both self and other. Taking difference as a source of creativity and turning it into a form of resistance and a critical intervention, Asian American poets engage with broader issues than the merely poetic. They confront social injustice against the other and call critical attention to a concept of otherness which differs fundamentally from that underlying racism, sexism, and colonialism. By locating the ethical and political questions of otherness in language, discourse, aesthetics, and everyday encounters, Asian American poets help advance critical studies in race, gender, and popular culture as well as in poetry."The Ethics and Poetics of Alterity"ais not limited, however, to literary studies: it is an invaluable response to the questions raised by increasingly globalized encounters across many kinds of boundaries.aThe PoetsMarilyn Chin, Kimiko Hahn, Myung Mi Kim, Li Young Lee, Timothy Liu, David Mura, and John Yau"We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
