Uncovering Heian Japan An Archaeology of Sensation and Inscription

"'The line, ' wrote William James, 'is the relation.' In a study of stunning originality, Thomas Lamarre gives us the brushwork line, the line of poetic gesture--and through it, the relation between nation and sensation. "Uncovering Heian Japan" combines an exquisitely researched archeology of Japanese writing with far-ranging reflections on race, nation, and collective expression. A major contribution not only to Japanese studies, but to the interdisciplinary realm of cultural theory as a whole."--Brian Massumi, State University of New York at Albany

Riassunto

The poetry of the Heian court of Japan has typically been linked with the emergence of a distinct Japanese language and culture. Combining visual analysis of the calligraphy with which this poetry was transcribed, a more traditional textual analysis, and a review of the politics of the period, this book presents a view of Heian poetry and culture.
