Composed as a polyphonic dialogue of texts, Stefania Pandolfo's \u003ci\u003eImpasse of the Angels\u003c\/i\u003e takes this engagement to its limit by presenting the relationship between observer and observed as one of interacting equals and mutually constituting interlocuters. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eImpasse of the Angels\u003c\/i\u003e explores what it means to be a subject in the historical and poetic imagination of a southern Moroccan society. Passionate and lyrical, ironic and tragic, the book listens to dissonant, often idiosyncratic voices-poetic texts, legends, social spaces, folktales, conversations-which elaborate in their own ways the fractures, wounds, and contradictions of the Maghribî postcolonial present. Moving from concrete details in a traditional ethnographic sense to a creative, experiential literary style, \u003ci\u003eImpasse of the Angels\u003c\/i\u003e is a tale of life and death compellingly addressing readers from anthropology, literature, philosophy, postcolonial criticism, and Middle Eastern studies.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 397\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.87 x 9.08 x 6.05 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 03, 1998\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42039391551568,"sku":"9780226645322","price":79.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/9540\/0016\/files\/WS8vQlpLSGlTSENBaWFlaVpmU1BOZz09.webp?v=1771841501","url":"https:\/\/palm-malen-gift-shop-pmrc.myshopify.com\/products\/impasse-of-the-angels-scenes-from-a-moroccan-space-of-memory-paperback","provider":"Palm Malen Gift Shop -PMRC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
