After Discourse : Things, Affects, Ethics, Paperback / softback Book

After Discourse : Things, Affects, Ethics Paperback / softback

Edited by Bjørnar Olsen, Mats Burstrom, Caitlin DeSilvey, Þora Petursdottir

Part of the Routledge Archaeologies of the Contemporary World series

Paperback / softback

Description

After Discourse is an interdisciplinary response to the recent trend away from linguistic and textual approaches and towards things and their affects. The new millennium brought about serious changes to the intellectual landscape.

Favoured approaches associated with the linguistic and the textual turn lost some of their currency, and were followed by a new curiosity and concern for things and their natures.

Gathering contributions from archaeology, heritage studies, history, geography, literature and philosophy, After Discourse offers a range of reflections on what things are, how we become affected by them, and the ethical concerns they give rise to.

Through a varied constellation of case studies, it explores ways of dealing with matters which fall outside, become othered from, or simply cannot be grasped through perspectives derived solely from language and discourse. After Discourse provides challenging new perspectives for scholars and students interested in other-than-textual encounters between people and the objects with which we share the world.
