Under de senaste åren har ekokritiken vuxit mycket snabbt och många teoretiska positioner har omprövats. Utifrån olika perspektiv både anammar och kritiserar ekokritiken traditionella vetenskapliga modeller vilket har lett till en nyskapande metodologisk mångfald. I vissa fall utforskar ekokritiken mer naturvetenskapligt betonade metoder, i andra fall tänjs gränserna för vad som inom humaniora brukar betraktas som vetenskap. Ekokritiska metoder introducerar denna metodologiska flora och är en praktisk ingång till ekokritiken. Den har skrivits av forskare från olika forskningsmiljöer och innehåller en rik uppsättning av olika perspektiv och analysverktyg.Boken lämpar sig väl som grundbok på kurser i litteraturstudier, ekokritik eller kurser där metodologi står i fokus. Boken kan också vara av intresse för dem som vill fördjupa sig i metodfrågor, skaffa sig underlag för diskussion eller hitta inspiration till egen forskning.

The power of stories to raise our concern for animals has been postulated throughout history by countless scholars, activists, and writers, including such greats as Thomas Hardy and Leo Tolstoy. This is the first book to investigate that power and explain the psychological and cultural mechanisms behind it. It does so by presenting the results of an experimental project that involved thousands of participants, texts representing various genres and national literatures, and the cooperation of an internationally-acclaimed bestselling author. Combining psychological research with insights from animal studies, ecocriticism and other fields in the environmental humanities, the book not only provides evidence that animal stories can make us care for other species, but also shows that their effects are more complex and fascinating than we have ever thought. In this way, the book makes a groundbreaking contribution to the study of relations between literature and the nonhuman world as well as to the study of how literature changes our minds and society. "As witnessed by novels like Black Beauty and Uncle Tom’s Cabin, a good story can move public opinion on contentious social issues. In Human Minds and Animal Stories a team of specialists in psychology, biology, and literature tells how they discovered the power of narratives to shift our views about the treatment of other species. Beautifully written and based on dozens of experiments with thousands of subjects, this book will appeal to animal advocates, researchers, and general readers looking for a compelling real-life detective story." - Hal Herzog, author of Some We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat : Why It’s So Hard To Think Straight About Animals

Del 34 - Literary & Cultural Theory
Embodying Pragmatism
Richard Shusterman’s Philosophy and Literary Theory
Inbunden, Engelska, 2010
571 kr
Tillfälligt slut
Embodying Pragmatism is the first monograph in English devoted to Richard Shusterman, an internationally renowned philosopher and one of today’s most innovative thinkers in pragmatism and aesthetics. The book presents a comprehensive account of Shusterman’s principal philosophical ideas concerning pragmatism, aesthetics, and literary theory (including such themes as interpretation, aesthetic experience, popular art, and human embodiment – culminating in his proposal of a new discipline called «somaesthetics»). As Shusterman’s philosophical writings involve a dialogue with both analytic and continental traditions, this monograph not only offers a critical vision of contemporary pragmatist thought but also situates Shusterman and pragmatism within the current state of theory.

Practicing Pragmatist Aesthetics
Critical Perspectives on the Arts

This is the first collection in English devoted exclusively to pragmatist aesthetics. Its main aim is to employ the resources of that rich and exciting tradition in studying artistic phenomena such as film, sculpture, bio-art, poetry, the novel, cuisine, and various body arts. But it also attempts to provide a wider background for such studies by sketching the history of pragmatist reflection on the aesthetic and by discussing some of the main positions that this history has produced: the aesthetic conceptions of C.S. Peirce, William James, John Dewey, Joseph Margolis, Richard Shusterman (somaesthetics in particular), and others.
