This study of selected literary and cinematic works by Michael
Ondaatje investigates the political potential of the Canadian
author's aesthetics. Contributing to current debates about affect
and representation, ideology critique and the artwork, trauma and
testimony, this book uses the concept of the haptic to demonstrate
how Ondaatje's multisensory, fluid and historically inflected
writing can forge an enabling relationship between audience, author
and text. This is where Ondaatje's micropolitics, often
misconstrued as ideologically suspect aestheticism, emerges: a
praxis that intimates how one can write and read politically with a
difference.
