In Open Book in Ways of Water, poet and artist Adam Wolfond explores the synaesthetic quality of autistic perception, the way in which water in its different materializations shapes and channels language. Building on notions such as "wetness," "streams," and "currents," Wolfond constructs a linguistic universe in which writing and perception merge, move, and "pace to gether" - echoing both the togetherness of the senses and the gathering rhythms of water. Open Book in Ways of Water is as much a book of poetry and a book about poetry, a self-reflection in an endlessly moving and transforming element. As the author himself explains: Language is a way to understand each other but it is also reductive in the ways that it is abstracted and non-sensuous, and open writing as movement tends to be ignored as autistics are forced into neurotypical ways of seeing, and the thinking around artistic practices feels of a pace that intensifies the use of forms forming, and similarities with open processes are languaging the way of water, making language about artful relations with the more than human. Water is a game of ways and patterns that wave and ripple and can pull us under, the talk is about surfacing but languaging is about feeling, moving the ways that it makes are having variances moving the thresholds in thinking feeling of a rally that comes from cutting the grammars out and that is the way of perception that is cut by grammar and people need art to dance this dance of relation. A man of autism answers the ways of the body much of the time and that means my body rallies the artful atmospheres that are dancing me and the real feeling can dance the atmospheres as my body presence and pace shifts other bodies to be free. Having a ticcing body is making the dance about disorder but really it is about a different and diverse way of languaging with many feelings and bathing and immersing and I don't have any other way.

This volume brings together Nussbaum's published papers on the relationship between literature and philosophy, especially moral philosophy. The papers, many of them previously inaccessible to non-specialist readers, deal with such fundamental issues as the relationship between style and content in the exploration of ethical issues; the nature of ethical attention and ethical knowledge and their relationship to written forms and styles; and the role of the emotions in deliberation and self-knowledge.

Love, and the different manifestations of it, is a common theme in literature around the world. In Cosmopolitan Love, Sijia Yao examines the writings of D. H. Lawrence, a British writer whose literature focused primarily on interpersonal relationships in domestic settings, and Eileen Chang, a Chinese writer who migrated to the United States and explored Chinese heterosexual love in her writing. While comparing the writings of a Chinese writer and an English one, Yao avoids a direct comparison between East and West that could further enforce binaries. Instead, she uses the comparison to develop an idea of cosmopolitanism that shows how the writers are in conversation with their own culture and with each other. Both D. H. Lawrence and Eileen Chang wrote stories that are influenced by-but sometimes stand in opposition to-their own cultures. They offer alternative understandings of societies dealing with modernism and cultural globalization. Their stories deal with emotional pain caused by the restrictions of local politics and economics and address common themes of incestuous love, sexual love, adulterous love, and utopian love. By analyzing their writing, Yao demonstrates that the concept of love as a social and political force can cross cultural boundaries and traditions to become a basis for human meaning, the key to a cosmopolitan vision.

This volume investigates the appearances, figurations, genealogies, and displacements of the monster in Argentine literature, both in aesthetic and poetic projects, as well as in the bodies, subjectivities, lives, and forms of the common that emerge. El presente volumen indaga las apariciones, figuraciones, genealogías y desplazamientos del monstruo en la literatura argentina de las últimas décadas, tanto en los proyectos estéticos y las poéticas, como en los cuerpos, las subjetividades, las vidas y las formas de lo común que emergen como novedad inusitada en las escrituras. Reconstruye los diálogos irreverentes que las ficciones instauran con la tradición, los textos canónicos, los relatos fundacionales, las figuras, los tópicos y los personajes consagrados, atendiendo al doble movimiento de apropiación y desarticulación, donde proliferan las resignificaciones anómalas e informes. Concebido desde la noción del juego de cuerdas de Donna Haraway, el libro privilegia tres figuras: ópticas, comunidades y mutaciones, para construir una organización dinámica, con líneas de conexión porosas y abiertas, que aspira a dejar intacta la potencia creadora y refractaria del monstruo. A través de mapas, constelaciones y reflexiones teóricas diversas, las lecturas aquí reunidas exploran las transformaciones de la narrativa argentina reciente: el devenir monstruoso de las formas, de las ficciones, de las poéticas y de las lenguas.
