Dealing with literature from Shakespeare and Donne to Calvino, with philosophy from the medieval to the contemporary, with cinema from popular to art-film, and with political theory from Marx to Lyotard, Baudrillard, and Badiou, Thomas Docherty intervenes in all the major contemporary cultural debates to propose and practice a new criticism, whose theoretical foundations lie in a postmodern ethics, ecopolitics, and an austere attention to the radical difficulties of art. Bound together by the cohesive drive of Docherty's intelligence and the coerciveness of the arguments he enlarges about alterity and historicity, \u003cem\u003eAlterities\u003c\/em\u003e rehabilitates the question of why we bother about art, and proposes new modes of critical engagement with contemporary culture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OUP Oxford","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47591555825815,"sku":"9780198183587","price":7856.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780198183587.webp?v=1774973618","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/alterities-criticism-history-representation-9780198183587","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
