Jacques Rancière; James B Swenson Atopia sku-608854909

Atopia: Philosophy, Political Theory, Ae: Short Voyages to the Land of the People is a hardcover listed under All Books. Jacques Rancière; James B Swenson; sku-608854909. Rancière reads accounts of travel across class lines as travel narratives or ethnographies. He examines Wordsworth's poetry, Saint-Simonien utopian writing, Büchner's correspondence and theater, Claude Genoux's Mémoires d'un enfant de la Savoie, Michelet's theories of history, Rilke's prose and poetry, and Ingrid Bergman's performance in Rossellini's postwar film Europe 51. He considers how displacement makes his subjects foreign to familiar versions of reality and argues that "the people" has no fixed meaning in these texts. Instead, travelers use it to frame their own circumstances.You may also like Social Theory and Methodology in Education Research: Post-Qualitative Research and Innovative Methodologies (Hardcover).
