This is the first book of its kind to include academic research on
attention considered as a literary category by laying the stress on
the relational aspects of attention as opposed to its
inward-looking function. One of the salient characteristics of this
monograph is that it relies on an interdisciplinary approach: even
if its main prism is literary, it draws from psychology,
psychoanalysis, phenomenology, analytical philosophy, ethics-among
which the ethics of care and the ethics of vulnerability. One of
this book's innovative points is that it considers the ethical and
political edge of attention, drawing on the perception of
invisibilities and visibilities, and showing how attention is a
capacity to be trained and strengthened so as to achieve
(epistemic) justice. One of this book's strengths is to offer a
reading of attention's narrative relevance in such fields as social
invisibilities, climate change, AI and cognitive disability, issues
that have captured the interest of the public over the last few
years. This book takes care of providing a poetics of attention as
thematised in and performed by narratives. To do so, it relies on
such traditional categories as point of view, voice, repetition,
tropes and predominantly the metalepsis to show how, through
intensification, repetition provides an experiential knowledge
transferred to the reader.
