This conceptual migration is detailed in two sections. The first focuses on \"transpacific Buddhist poetics,\" while the second maps the less well-known terrain of \"transpacific Daoist poetics.\"   In Chapters 1 and 2, the author explores Ernest Fenollosa's \"The Chinese Written Character as a Medium for Poetry\" as an expression of Fenollosa's distinctly Buddhist poetics informed by a two-decade-long encounter with a culturally hybrid form of Buddhism known as Shin Bukkyo (\"New Buddhism\"). Chapter 2 explores the classical Chinese poetics that undergirds the lost half of Fenellosa's essay. Chapter 3 concludes the first half of the book with an exploration of the didactic and soteriological function of \"emptiness\" in Gary Snyder's influential poetry and poetics.   The second half begins with a critical exploration of the three-decades-long career of the poet\/translator\/critic Wai-lim Yip, whose \"transpacific Daoist poetics\" has been an important fixture in American poetic late modernism and has begun to gain wider notoriety in China. The last chapter engages the intertextual weave of poststructural thought and Daoist and shamanistic discourses in Theresa Hak Kyung Cha's important body of heterocultural productions.   By formulating interpretive frames as hybrid as the texts being read, this book makes available one of the most important yet still largely unknown stories of American poetry and poetics.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49984430637329,"sku":"CIN0823231453G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50049307017489,"sku":"GOR013845769","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51008617513233,"sku":"NIN9780823231454","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0823231453.jpg?v=1750980072"},{"product_id":"yinggelishi-book-jonathan-stalling-9789887470755","title":"Yinggelishi","description":"Jonathan Stalling's experimental approach to bridging art, poetics, and linguistics imagines a world where individual value systems are no longer translated into the language of other mediums, but foster conscious interlanguages. Stalling writes, Meeting in the middle, 'interlanguages' are spaces where one learns a new language without having left one's home fully behind; these situations can result in richly generative interlingual and intercultural estuaries which provide new ways of imagining. Stalling's conceptual language art fuses Classical Chinese poetics and linguistics with modern algorithms to create art installations and poetry that transform Chinese into English and English into Chinese in new and surprising ways. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith a visual gallery of Stalling's work, an interview with the artist, a critical introduction by the editor, and critical chapters written by the comparative literature scholar Timothy Billings and Chinese Linguist Liu Nian, the volume provides readers with a significant introduction to a wide range of Stalling's interlanguage work spanning the past two decades. The volume runs from the late 1990s English Jueju project to his most recent work Song Dynasty English, a series of movable wood-type printing presses and prints, to Pinying, a series of digital interlanguage learning environments and platforms. Challenging powerful dichotomies like East\/West, Chinese\/English, Modern\/Ancient, and Art\/Technology, Stalling's work opens up new ways of hearing, speaking, and performing cultural ways of knowing through English and Chinese. Chen Wang argues that Stalling's interlanguage not only opens a space between languages, but may well mark the beginning of an interlanguage domain between humans and machines.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50398890950929,"sku":"CIN9887470759G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52336901030161,"sku":"NLS9789887470755","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9887470759.jpg?v=1751129195"},{"product_id":"poetics-of-emptiness-book-jonathan-stalling-9780823231447","title":"Poetics of Emptiness","description":"The Poetics of Emptiness uncovers an important untold history by tracing the historically specific, intertextual pathways of a single, if polyvalent, philosophical term, emptiness, as it is transformed within twentieth-century American poetry and poetics.
