Description
Forms Whole, Rhythm, Hierarchy, Network by Caroline Levine A new approach to understanding form and context in literature, politics, and beyond. Caroline Levine argues that forms shape not only works of art but also political life and our attempts to know both art and politics. This book explores how four major forms - wholes, rhythms, hierarchies, and networks - have structured culture, politics, and scholarly knowledge across periods. By re-examining the work of key theorists, including Cleanth Brooks, Michel Foucault, Jacques Rancière, Mary Poovey, and Judith Butler, Levine offers a fresh perspective on form and its relationship to history and literature. This book is essential reading for scholars and students in the humanities who seek to understand the complex ways in which forms shape our experiences. With engaging accounts of a range of objects, from medieval convents to modern theme parks, this book provides a radically new way of thinking about form that will be of interest to anyone seeking to connect form to political, social, and historical context.
