A timely exploration of how odor seeps into structural inequality Our sense of smell is a uniquely visceral—and personal—form of experience. As Hsuan L. Hsu points out, smell has long been spurned by Western aesthetics as a lesser sense for its qualities of subjectivity, volatility, and materiality. But it is these very qualities that make olfaction a vital tool for sensing and staging environmental risk and inequality. Unlike the other senses, smell extends across space and reaches into our bodies. Hsu traces how writers, artists, and activists have deployed these embodied, biochemical qualities of smell in their efforts to critique and reshape modernity’s olfactory disparities. The Smell of Risk outlines the many ways that our differentiated atmospheres unevenly distribute environmental risk. Reading everything from nineteenth-century detective fiction and naturalist novels to contemporary performance art and memoir, Hsu takes up modernity’s differentiated atmospheres as a subject worth sniffing out. From the industrial revolution to current-day environmental crises, Hsu uses ecocriticism, geography, and critical race studies to, for example, explore Latinx communities exposed to freeway exhaust and pesticides, Asian diasporic artists’ response to racialized discourse about Asiatic odors, and the devastation settler colonialism has reaped on Indigenous smellscapes. In each instance, Hsu demonstrates the violence that air maintenance, control, and conditioning enacts on the poor and the marginalized. From nineteenth-century miasma theory theory to the synthetic chemicals that pervade twenty-first century air, Hsu takes smell at face value to offer an evocative retelling of urbanization, public health, and environmental violence.

Автор: Miller Patricia Cleary Название: Can You Smell the Rain? ISBN: 1943491216 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781943491216 Издательство: Неизвестно Цена: 13750.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание:
Can You Smell the Rain?, Patricia Cleary Miller's new collection of poetry, poses the old theatrical question, Who wants what, and why can't they have it? Her confused and deluded characters take themselves seriously as they yearn for love. With wit and gently biting satire, the poet presents their struggles. Beware: a snicker at these characters is a snicker at yourself.
As poet H. L. Hix writes in his foreword to the collection, "William Carlos Williams was onto something with his aphorism, "No ideas but in things," but Patricia Cleary Miller's Can You Smell the Rain? goes Williams one better. Miller doesn't have to say what her poems prove: No moments but in things, no memories, no lives, no loves. These are poems (or, I would say, this is a lyric memoir) lush with vivid and vivifying particular." Poet Mia Leonin, in her advance praise for the book, writes, "Miller's rapturous attention to detail and her deft sense of story conjure a poetic genealogy, swirling and swooning with ancestors, lovers, and earthly delights."
When Little Lion spends a day trying to guess Mommy Lion's favorite smell, from fresh cinnamon rolls to rain-soaked grass, she is reminded of her mom's deep love for her.
