Punctuation: Art, Politics, and Play Paperback - 2008
by Jennifer DeVere Brody
From the rear cover
"Here is a book that earns the right to the spaces between its sumptuously smart words. Here is a book that pays attention to the 'minor' detail of punctuation in ways that percolate with questions pertaining to history, subject formation, ethnicity, racialization, technology, authorship, physiology, philosophy, aesthetic value, the social, the political, and more (to pile up the commas). Lacing her arguments with humor as well as insight, Jennifer DeVere Brody here tracks punctuation's contradictory performances across a number of times and places. She offers close readings of artists and authors who deploy punctuation pointedly in a variety of mediums, amplifying the mark of the mark, the score of the score, the thrust or lean of the emphaticals that prop our points. Here is a book that doubles as a stage upon which the understudied finally gets to strut and fret with an embodied wit, critical grace, and socially relevant verve."--Rebecca Schneider, Brown University
