On Pain of Speech
Author: Dina Al-Kassim
language: en
Publisher: Univ of California Press
Release Date: 2010-02-08
On Pain of Speech tracks the literary rant, an expression of provocation and resistance that imagines the power to speak in its own name where no such right is granted. Focusing on the "politics of address," Dina Al-Kassim views the rant through the lens of Michel Foucault's notion of the biopolitical subject and finds that its abject address is an essential yet overlooked feature of modernism. Deftly approaching disparate fields—decadent modernism, queer studies, subjection, critical psychoanalysis, and postcolonial avant-garde—and encompassing both Euro-American and Francophone Arabic modernisms, she offers an ambitious theoretical perspective on the ongoing redefinition of modernism. She includes readings of Jane Bowles, Abdelwahab Meddeb, and Oscar Wilde, and invokes a wide range of ideas, including those of Theodor Adorno, Sigmund Freud, Jacques Lacan, Judith Butler, Jean Laplanche, and Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick.
Language, Power, And Violence Revised Edition

This book reveals a theory that has recently become influential in Indonesian linguistics, namely critical linguistics. Applying an academic approach, critical linguists seek to reveal how power (and violence) is represented through language. Furthermore, they attempt to promote social equality by ensuring that speakers and their speech partners are on level ground in their verbal communications. This book is dedicated to everyone with an interest in linguistics, humanities, and social sciences, as well as all of its readers. It is hoped that this book can theoretically and practically benefit linguists, language teachers, students, translators, and other professionals. In order to create constructive academic dialog and shared truth-seeking, the author would appreciate critical input from readers.
