@bkadams reminds us that@UrvashiChakrav 's book /Fictions of Consent/, forthcoming with Univ. of Penn Press, is doing fascinating things with the idea of fiction. And it's true! I've read it! It's amazing! Most generative in that book:1 vastaus 0 uudelleentwiittausta 5 tykkäystäNäytä tämä ketju -
not simply contrasting fact to fiction in "Fictions of Consent", but looking about how shared fictions (about, e.g., how servants are understood to consent to the service and labor they give to others, in lit and non-lit texts) can create and shape the lived realities of people.

@DrDadabhoy also offers the best summary of the response: https://twitter.com/DrDadabhoy/status/1369031219598397442 … (she is live-tweeting too, probably much more competently than I am!)Liza Blake lisäsi,
