It starts from analyses of the changes that the mediasphere and communication technologies have brought for the contemporary subject, submitting him\/her to the tyranny of a new attention economy. My point is that the contemporary novel and memoir resist such influences and evince a great deal of resilience by promoting an “ecology of attention” (Citton) based on poetic options whose pragmatic effect is to develop an ethics of the particularist type. To do this, I draw on critical and theoretical literature hailing from various fields: psychology, but also more prominently phenomenology, political philosophy, and analytical philosophy (essentially Ordinary Language Philosophy), alongside the ethics of care and vulnerability. By using a selection of fictional and non-fictional narratives, I address such issues as social invisibilities, climate change, AI and cognitive disability and end up drafting a poetics of attention.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45566416650478,"sku":"9781032423203","price":210.4,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/poetics-and-ethics-of-attention-in-contemporary-british-narrative-hardback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
