In this new book Zygmunt Bauman and Riccardo Mazzeo examine the contentious issue of the relation between literature (and the arts in general) and sociology (or, more generally, a branch of the humanities claiming scientific status).
Off the Page offers a series of critical "e;scripts"e; exploring various cultural texts, and a working definition of performative criticism grounded in poststructuralist literary, cultural, and performance theory.
