- Double-weighted statement
- Orbital Poetics is the first extensive interdisciplinary study of literary and theoretical writing on the relationship between orbital space and perceptions of a globalized and planetary world. The result of six years of research, this monograph brings together literature, philosophy, film, photography, theology, astronomy, cosmology, and the history of science and technology. The scope of the work is consequently very broad, from Plato and Augustine, through Dante, Goethe, and Donne, to Dickinson, Husserl, Beckett, Heidegger, Foucault, Derrida, Murakami, Sloterdijk, Latour, and Nancy, in order to analyse both ideas and writing from the Classical, Late Medieval, Twentieth Century and Contemporary periods.
