Mood and Trope: The Rhetoric and Poetics of Affect

John Brenkman

4.9/5 (13326 ratings)

Description:In Mood and Trope, John Brenkman introduces two provocative propositions into affect theory: that human emotion is intimately connected to persuasion and figurative language; and that literature, and especially poetry, offers a more precise way of studying affect because it resides there not in speaking about feelings, but in the very speaking and way of speaking. Engaging a quartet of modern philosophers—Kant, Nietzsche, Heidegger, and Deleuze—Brenkman explores how they all approach the question of affect primarily through literature and art. He draws on the differences and dialogues among them, arguing that the vocation of criticism is incapable of systematicity and instead must be attuned to the singularity and plurality of literary and artistic creations. In addition, he confronts these four philosophers and their essential concepts with a wide array of authors and artists, including Pinter and Poe, Baudelaire, Jorie Graham and Li-Young Lee, Shakespeare, Tino Sehgal, and Francis Bacon. Filled with surprising insights, Mood and Trope provides a rich archive for rethinking the nature of affect and its aesthetic and rhetorical stakes.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
