- Summary
- "The redefinition of resistance, developed here by Esther Rowlands, consists of a recontextualisation within the field of poetic language, of the current notion of resistance discourse as being the mouthpiece of a factual historical message. Here, for the first time this detailed study of selected wartime poetic texts, produced by Francis Ponge, Benjamin Peret, Henri Michaux and Antonin Artaud, compiled between 1936 and 1946, presents a specific critique of linguistic resistance, which explores the possibility for subversion to take place, without direct allusion to any named object of resistance. The urgency of this notion bases itself upon the premise that referentiality may be conceived as being retaliative and reactionary, thereby, risking replication of the dominant order." "This volume is of particular interest for undergraduates studying Surrealism, Second World Wartime Literature and Twentieth Century Stylistics."--BOOK JACKET.
