In the era of the \"chronic acute\" long predating COVID-19, Stecopoulos set out to investigate the imagination, aesthetics, and ideology of healing—its mysteries and mystifications, its many channels and codes. Fusing lyric inquiry with cultural criticism, Dreaming in the Fault Zone explores the arts' treatment of our conditions at a time of both increased cynicism about healing and longing for it. Stecopoulos talks to physicians, poets, psychotherapists, disability activists, ethnographers, and spiritual seekers; curates performances and takes part in community rituals; documents pilgrimages and visits therapeutic landscapes. Whether writing about the poet H.D.'s psychoanalysis with Freud or madness and apartheid in Bessie Head's novel A Question of Power, the salve of demagogues or a global alliance of people with contested illnesses, Stecopoulos confronts the poetics and politics of affliction, empathy, memory, and survival. Weaving together esoteric scenes and everyday practice, with flashes of humor, these essays travel in a space of impasse and unending experiment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 588g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 227 x 153 x 30 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781643622378\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eleni Stecopoulos","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":47145371435258,"sku":"9781643622378","price":15.46,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/files\/1740163410844_book.jpg?v=1740240821","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/dreaming-in-the-fault-zone-a-poetics-of-healing-9781643622378","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
