Flirtations: Rhetoric and Aesthetics This Side of Seduction (Idiom: Inventing Writing Theory),Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
What is flirtation, and how does it differ from seduction?In historical terms, the particular question of flirtation has tended to be obscured by that of seduction, which has understandably been a major preoccupation for twentiethcentury thought and critical theory. Both the discourse and the critique of seduction are unified by their shared obsession with a very determinate end: power. In contrast, flirtation is the game in which no one seems to gain the upper hand and no one seems to surrender. The counterconcept of flirtation has thus stood quietly to the side, never quite achieving the same prominence as that of seduction. It is this elusive (and largely ignored) territory of playing for plays sake that is the subject of this anthology.The essays in this volume address the undertheorized terrain of flirtation not as a subgenre of seduction but rather as a phenomenon in its own right. Drawing on the interdisciplinary history of scholarship on flirtation even as it reapproaches the question from a distinctly aesthetic and literarytheoretical point of view, the contributors to Flirtations thus give an account of the practice of flirtation and of the figure of the flirt, taking up the acts relationship to issues of mimesis, poetic ambiguity, and aesthetic pleasure. The art of this poetic playfulnessoften read or misread as flirtations empty gesturebecomes suddenly legible as the wielding of a particular and subtle form of nonteleological power.
