{"product_id":"9781441114037","title":"Michael Ondaatje: Haptic Aesthetics and Micropolitical Writing","description":"This study of selected literary and cinematic works by Michael Ondaatje  investigates the political potential of the Canadian author's  aesthetics. Contributing to current debates about affect and  representation, ideology critique and the artwork, trauma and testimony,  this book uses the concept of the haptic to demonstrate how Ondaatje's  multisensory, fluid and historically inflected writing can forge an  enabling relationship between audience, author and text. This is where  Ondaatje's micropolitics, often misconstrued as ideologically suspect  aestheticism, emerges: a praxis that intimates how one can write and  read politically with a difference.","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47128356913392,"sku":"9781441114037","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781441114037_p0.jpg?v=1763801870","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781441114037","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
