Poeticality In Refusal of Settler Life by Jeffrey Sacks (Paperback Book)

Fordham University Press

\""Will you not memorize a little poetry to halt the slaughter?\"" the Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish wrote. Darwish\u2019s poetic statement points to world-evacuating and genocidal violences \u2013 in a triangulation of Palestine, Iraq, and the American settler state \u2013 as his language recalls us to a sonority in utterance and acts of refusal in collective form. Through readings of Arabic and Arab poetry, art, translation, and philosophy, Jeffrey Sacks illumines an indetermined, non-accumulative, non-propertied manner of lingual doing \u2013 across post-Ottoman topographies and states, and in excess of any single language \u2013 where language is a practice in sociality, the social is indistinct from the ontological, and being is a poetic mode \u2013 what this book calls \""poeticality.\""Poeticality studies the\n\nPoeticality\nIn Refusal of Settler Life\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK delivery using Royal Mail tracked services.\n\n;
