    "Aesthetics of Equality is a theoretical and compositional intervention into the problem of equality. While some of the analysis is concerned with contemporary issues, the book is a primarily a work of political theory and a guide to aesthetic methods, focused on how one can conceive equality issues critically through conceptual engagements with diverse artistic genres: literature, film, music, photography, and architecture. Beginning with the question, "what one can contribute to equality issues by being attentive to aesthetic form in a variety of artistic genres that challenge institutionalized accounts of history," the book proceeds to implement answer by extracting political problematics with analyses of the compositional structures of the textual objects of analysis in the chapter's diverse inquiries. While aesthetic strategies are a main concern in the investigation, it is also shaped by commitments to some substantive political concerns, particularly an attentiveness to persons and voices that tend to be civically invisible The assembled chapters demonstrate the way critical approaches to a variety of media genres make visible and audible the persons and groups that are excluded or disqualified from access to livable domestic space and civic participation. The subject matter is temporally extensive, ranging from ancient Israel and Egypt in the Old Testament's Genesis chapter through the early and later ethno-histories of California and Texas and geographically broad, with chapters on diverse cities: New York, Paris, Istanbul, Los Angeles, and fictional Texas and Mexican border cities"-- Presuming that the problem of political equality, as it bears on both persons and assemblages, is about being accorded access to the material and symbolic resources needed to manage an effective civic presence, Michael J. Shapiro's critical interventions engage the way aesthetic genres illustrate this problem. Addressing literary, cinematic, photographic, musical, art historical, and architectural compositions, Shapiro's inquiries encounter the way a wide variety oftexts elevate voices, bodies, and life dramas that have existed below thresholds of recognition.In Aesthetics of Equality, Shapiro offers a guide to aesthetic methods that emphasize the way writing strategies engage diverse artistic genres to articulate political problems. Emphasizing relationships between compositional form and ideational commitment, while focusing on the texts' protagonists (aesthetic subjects), the analyses cover a wide variety of spaces and historical moments in scenes ranging from ancient Israel and Egypt in the Old Testament's Genesis to the ethno-historiesof California and Texas, with attention on the right to urban space in such megacities as Paris, New York, Los Angeles, and Istanbul

    "World Literature and Dissent reconsiders the role of dissent in the contemporary aesthetics of globalisation. Bringing together scholars from postcolonial and world literatures, the collection addresses themes of knowledge and the epistemology of ignorance, the rhetoric of innocence and enchantment, translation and global justice, and the aesthetics of revolution. The essays reframe the field of contemporary world literature in relation to dissenting politics and aesthetics, asking how we might theorise a world literature that cultivates radical thought and supports uncompromising resistance to the apparatuses of global inequality, furthers social justice and values human expression." --

    "Literature for a Society of Equals defends modern equality and seeks its best literature. It accuses equality's supposed friends on the left of attenuating this world-redefining relationship into a collection of rights and goods to distribute, secularizing it even as the right keeps sacralizing hierarchies, and optimistically handing it over to time to make it happen. In contrast, loyal to equality as modernity's revolutionary invention, the writers examined here-from Mary Shelley to Gwendolyn Brooks to Ta-Nehisi Coates-envision "relational equality" as lately recovered by philosophers like Elizabeth Anderson and historians like Pierre Rosanvallon. Literary scholars need to reread these "pessimist egalitarians," too, though, for the discipline has failed them in the same three ways: i.e., attenuating and secularizing these writers' portraits of equality but most of all insisting the sympathy generated by reading these texts will, with enough time, "expand the circle" of humanity. For students and teachers of literature at the university level, this volume is a guide to those writings that champion equality as relational, sacred, and ours-not time's-to realize"--

    "This book explores the contraction of what it means to be free in post-liberalization India. While globalization is often described as a vehicle through which to eliminate the constraints of 'traditional' roles tied to gender and caste, in reality the opening up of the Indian economy in the 1990s has led to a steady decline in freedom for many within these groups. This book explores how the global spread of capitalism exacerbates existing inequalities based on traditional femininities and masculinities while creating new hierarchies. Reading texts as diverse as Thrity Umrigar's The Space Between Us, Chetan Bhagat's One Night in a Call Center, Mohsin Hamid's How to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia, and Arvind Adiga's The White Tiger, Mangharam fleshes out how notions like 'free trade' and 'market value' are experienced, embodied, and challenged by those who occupy the bottom of the socio-economic ladder, how they are experienced by women differently than by men, as well as the great promise that storytellers hold out in opening up new spaces of freedom and horizons for the self"--

    Presuming that the problem of political equality, as it bears on both persons and assemblages, is about being accorded access to the material and symbolic resources needed to manage an effective civic presence, Michael J. Shapiro's critical interventions engage the way a wide variety of aesthetic genres address this problem. In 'Aesthetics of Equality', Shapiro offers a guide to aesthetic methods, focusing on how to conceive equality issues through conceptual engagements with diverse artistic genres.

    Repräsentationen sozialer Ungleichheiten in Literatur und Film werfen die Frage auf, wer was wie darstellt – eine Problematik, die sich für Narrative, Fiktionen und Figurationen wie für die analytischen Betrachtung von Mediendarstellungen und öffentlichen Diskursen gleichermaßen stellt. Schon die traditionelle Literatur, die immer auch als ein Archiv sozialer Erfahrung aufgefasst werden kann, unterliegt stilistischen, thematischen und genretypischen Bindungen, die epochenweise unterlaufen oder konterkariert wurden. Allerdings verraten die Zugangsbedingungen zu Bildung sowie zu kanonischer Literaturproduktion und -rezeption auch in der Moderne sowie der jüngsten Gegenwart soziale Ungleichheiten. In diesem Kontext erweisen sich einschlägige Beispiele der jüngeren Literatur- und Filmproduktion als äußerst reflektiert. Nicht nur werden Fragen von Kanonisierung oder Populärkultur aufgegriffen, auch werden neue Ausdrucksweisen erprobt und Genregrenzen ausgetestet. Zudem gehen solche Beispiele über die bloße Darstellung oder Denunziation von Armut hinaus, sie thematisieren auf einer höheren Ebene die Wahrnehmung und Bewusstwerdung von Ungleichheiten oder rekonstruieren, ja inszenieren Affektwelten, die an soziale Erfahrungen gekoppelt sind Social inequality is one of the burning issues of our time. Literature has always dealt with this on the level of form and on the level of content, which has received little attention so far. The contributions gathered in this volume respond in particular to recent trends in French and Latin American narratives and filmmaking, in which the representation of social worlds has once again become problematic

Civil Rights Era: Narrating Imagined Lives in Sigrid Nunez's Fictions -- Comparative Colonial Narration: Conquest and Consumption in Sabina Murray's Fictions -- Impossible Narration: Racial Analogies and Asian American Speculative Fictions -- Coda: Fiction Unbound "Challenging the tidy links among authorial position, narrative perspective, and fictional content, Stephen Hong Sohn argues that Asian American authors have never been limited to writing about Asian American characters or contexts. Racial Asymmetries specifically examines the importance of first person narration in Asian American fiction published in the postrace era, focusing on those cultural productions in which the author's ethnoracial makeup does not directly overlap with that of the storytelling perspective. Through rigorous analysis of novels and short fiction, such as Sesshu Foster's Atomik Aztex, Sabina Murray's A Carnivore's Inquiry and Sigrid Nunez's The Last of Her Kind, Sohn reveals how the construction of narrative perspective allows the Asian American writer a flexible aesthetic canvas upon which to engage issues of oppression and inequity, power and subjectivity, and the complicated construction of racial identity. Speaking to concerns running through postcolonial studies and American literature at large, Racial Asymmetries employs an interdisciplinary approach to reveal the unbounded nature of fictional worlds. Stephen Hong Sohn is Assistant Professor of English at Stanford University. He is the co-editor of Transnational Asian American Literature: Sites and Transits"--
