Soccer has long been known as 'the beautiful game'. This multi-disciplinary volume explores soccer, soccer culture, and the representation of soccer in art, film, and literature, using the critical tools of aesthetics, poetics, and rhetoric. Including international contributions from scholars of philosophy, literary and cultural studies, linguistics, art history, and the creative arts, this book begins by investigating the relationship between beauty and soccer and asks what criteria should be used to judge the sport’s aesthetic value. Covering topics as diverse as humor, national identity, style, celebrity, and social media, its chapters examine the nature of fandom, the role of language, and the significance of soccer in contemporary popular culture. It also discusses what one might call the ‘stylistics’ of soccer, analyzing how players, fans, and commentators communicate on and off the pitch, in the press, on social media, and in wider public discourse.The Aesthetics, Poetics, and Rhetoric of Soccer makes for fascinating reading for anybody with an interest in sport, culture, literature, philosophy, linguistics, and society.

For centuries, critics, poets, and philosophers have either openly proclaimed or tacitly assumed the long poem as the highest expression of literary ambition and excellence. Rethinking the North American Long Poem focuses on the North American variant of this notorious form - notorious because of its often forbidding and difficult character. The contributors scrutinize seminal works and more recent efforts that have redefined or, better still, reopened the case of the long poem. Taking the categories of form, matter, and experiment as frames of conceptual reference, the book examines the ways in which material and immaterial aspects of literary practice and the philosophically and politically inscribed duality of experience and experiment are negotiated in and by North American long poems from the nineteenth century to the present.

Proposes a new Deleuzian model for understanding narrativeWhat is narrative? Ridvan Askin brings together aesthetics, contemporary North American fiction, Gilles Deleuze, narrative theory and the recent speculative turn to answer this question. Through this process, he develops a transcendental empiricist concept of narrative. Askin argues against the established consensus of narrative theory for an understanding of narrative as fundamentally nonhuman, unconscious and expressive. Close readings include:Ana Castillo, The Mixquiahuala Letters (1986)Michael Ondaatje, The Collected Works of Billy the Kid (1970)Colson Whitehead, The Intuitionist (1999)Mark Z. Danielewski, House of Leaves (2000)

This forward-thinking, non-traditional reference work uniquely maps out how new developments in 21st century philosophy are entering into dialogue with the study of literature. Going beyond the familiar methods of analytic philosophy, and with a breadth greater than traditional literary theory, this collection looks at the profound consequences of the interaction between philosophy and literature for questions of ethics, politics, subjectivity, materiality, reality and the nature of the contemporary itself.

An ambitious, in-depth reexamination of transnational Romanticism, from the late eighteenth century to the present—and into the future.Transcendental Poetics and the Futures of American Romanticism argues that Romanticism does not correspond to a specific archive or period but is rather a project—an effort to reconcile the material and the ideal and to disclose ultimate reality. The book spells out the contours of this project as formulated by its original European and American proponents and examines how it has been taken up and further developed by their twentieth- and twenty-first-century heirs in literature and philosophy. The book's range of engagement is vast as its author, Ridvan Askin, traces conceptual affinities and continuities among the Jena Romantics, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Margaret Fuller, Gilles Deleuze, Charles Olson, E. L. Doctorow, Jennifer Egan, contemporary analytic philosophy of mind, the new materialisms, critical posthumanism, and more. Ultimately, the book calls for a wholesale re-Romanticization of thought, or, more accurately, given that the Romantics themselves did not think that Romanticism had been accomplished and remained a task for the future, the first proper implementation of Romanticism. It is about time that Romanticism finally gets off the ground.
