Description

Product Description Over the last few decades and from across a spectrum of centrist political thought, a variety of academic disciplines, and numerous public intellectuals, the claim has been that we need to empathize more with marginalized people as a way to alleviate social inequalities. If we all had more skill with empathy, so the claim goes, we would all be better citizens. But what does it mean to empathize with others? How do we develop this skill? And what does it offer that older models of solidarity don’t? Why empathy―and why now? Rereading Empathy takes up these questions, examining the uses to which calls for empathy are put in the face of ever expanding economic and social precarity. The contributors draw on a variety of historical and contemporary literary and cultural archives to illustrate the work that empathy is supposed to enable―and to query alternative models of building collective futures. Review Rereading Empathy offers a fascinating and timely engagement with historical and contemporary literary and cultural dynamics and politics of empathy. It addresses a rich array of themes and issues relevant to the logics, possibilities and politics of empathy and, in particular, to the practices and implications of ‘rereading empathy’ today. --Carolyn Pedwell, Professor of Cultural Studies and Media, University of Kent, UK, and author of Revolutionary Routines: The Habits of Social Transformation (2021) Rereading Empathy is a smart, astute and scholarly intervention into the emergent field of critical empathy studies. The essays offer a nuanced and sophisticated critical vocabulary and engage in a range of lively and insightful textual readings. The book offers a rich resource for the study of contemporary culture. --Anne Whitehead, Professor of Modern and Contemporary Literature, Newcastle University, UK About the Author Emily Johansen is Associate Professor of English at Texas A&M University, USA.
