Elsewhereness: Antipoetry

The book is a literary project with extra-literary objectives and implications. The texts combine various original writing styles to provoke the reader's creative imagination and makeauratic social space attainable. For realizing its main goal, through its creative aesthetics, the book debases normalized forms of social violence, exclusionism, and tribalism. While the book is inspired by a philosophical theory that emphasizes the significance of negativity in the face of unspoken social rules of exclusionism, it is meant to be universally relatable by an average reader regardless of her perceived and proclaimed identities. The philosophy I am referring to is postnihilism, which is theorized in a book published by Bloomsbury Academic in 2022 and listed above. "Auratic space" is a concept advanced in my other works, including a book published by the State University of New York Press in 2019 and one published by De Gruyter in 2024 (both are listed above). If more information is needed, I would be happy to submit a more detailed response in a separate document.
