Providing a theoretical overview of each of these existential stances, Jason Bahbak Mohaghegh engages the views of thinkers and artists of the last several decades, primarily from Iran, but also from Arab, Turkish, North African, Armenian, Afghani, Chechen, and Kurdish backgrounds. He explores various dimensions of the Middle Eastern experience at the threshold of the postmodern moment, including revolutionary ideology, avant-garde literature, new-wave cinema, and radical-extremist thought. The profound reinvention of concepts characteristic of such work-fatalism, insurrection, disappearance, siege-provide unique interpretations and confrontations with the modern period and its relationship to those who presumably fall outside its boundaries of self-consciousness. Expanding the conversation, Mohaghegh contrasts the impressions of the Middle Eastern figures considered with those of the most incisive Western thinkers of modernity, such as Nietzsche, Heidegger, and Baudrillard, to offer an original global vision that crosses the East-West divide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJason Bahbak Mohaghegh \u003c\/b\u003eis Assistant Professor of Comparative Literature at Babson College and author of \u003ci\u003eSilence in Middle Eastern and Western Thought: The Radical Unspoken\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eThe Writing of Violence in the Middle East: Inflictions\u003c\/i\u003e; and \u003ci\u003eNew Literature and Philosophy of the Middle East: The Chaotic Imagination\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 338\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.1 x 8.9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 02, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42769188782176,"sku":"9781438456102","price":86.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/1922\/9280\/files\/UZZM7Vr3GB9781438456102.webp?v=1779609060","url":"https:\/\/bijoucc.myshopify.com\/products\/insurgent-poet-mystic-sectarian-the-four-masks-of-an-eastern-postmodernism-paperback","provider":"CARIBBEAN CONNECT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
