Artefacts of Writing
Ideas of the State and Communities of Letters from Matthew Arnold to Xu Bing
Explores the relationship between literature and international relations and considers how writing resists norms and puts any fixed or final idea of community in question. Part I examines the European context (1860 to 1945) and Part II analyses the traditions of disruptive writing that emerged out of sub-Saharan Africa and south Asia after 1945.
