2024 || Paperback || Michiel Rys e.a. || Leuven University Press

Relying on examples from British, French, Spanish, German, American, Swedish and Taiwanese culture, the contributors to this book document a variety of aesthetic strategies in an interdisciplina...

This interdisciplinary volume therefore draws on concepts from fields such as sociolo...
