By delineating patterns of interaction between living and inorganic beings through the lens of this aesthetic concept, Lather maps a body of canonical texts onto the new critical terrains comprised by the new materialisms and cognitive humanities and reveals the points of intersection between cognitive processes and the material entities produced by them.The result is an innovative contribution to both Classics and New Materialism studies, uncovering the intimate and reciprocal interaction between minds and matter as central to ancient Greek aesthetic experience.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 234mmItem Length: 156mmAuthor: Amy LatherGenre: HistoryTopic: Ancient History, Society & Culture, Philosophy & Spirituality, Literary CriticismBook Series: Ancient Cultures, New MaterialismsRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
