Allegorical Moments: Call to the Everyday

English

By (author): Lyn Hejinian

_Allegorical Moments_ is a set of essays dedicated to rethinking allegory and arguing for its significance as a creative and critical response to sociopolitical, environmental, and existential turmoil affecting the contemporary world. Traditionally, allegorical interpretation was intended to express an orthodoxy and support an ideology. Hejinian attempts to liberate allegory from its dogmatic usages. Presenting modern and contemporary materials ranging from the novel to poetry to painting and cinema to activist poetry of the Occupy movement, each essay in the book begins again with different materials and from different perspectives. Hejinian's generative scholarship looks back to experimental modernism and forward into a future for a vital, wayward poetry resistant to the crushing global effects of neoliberalism. A captivating and daunting work of criticism and theory in aesthetic activism. The writing, and the thinking behind it, is beautiful, coruscating, and ethically compelling. This book will raise your IQ about life, and not just about literature. A breathtaking achievement. ~James I. Porter, Stone Professor in Literature at the University of California, Berkeley Hejinian delights in the obduracy of existenceOppen's 'mineral fact.' Without abridging this otherness, she reveals it as the dialectical complement of her own and her authors' acts of interpretive intelligence. We get it all: 'the stuff of life' (Woolf) and the lifethe relational principle, jostling contexts, particularizing contingenciesof stuff. Call to the Everyday = How to Begin Again and Again (Stein). ~Marjorie Levinson, author of Thinking through Poetry: Field Reports on Romantic Lyric See more
