I am so pleased that this beautiful print anthology (which has a poem of mine in it) has been making waves as a notable book of the year. I know that I will now always on the lookout for examples of #defamiliarization I might use in my writing as a result https://twitter.com/GravityThing/status/1634262021570166784

Today's the 4th🎂of my article exploring the subversive potential of #Tolstoyan #defamiliarisation. Freely available here: https://repository.lboro.ac.uk/articles/journal_contribution/The_subversive_potential_of_Leo_Tolstoy_s_defamiliarisation_a_case_study_in_drawing_on_the_imagination_to_denounce_violence/9468479.

Short summary: T is primary example of master of #literary technique of ‘#defamiliarisation’ (looking at the familiar as if new) to shake readers into recognising absurdity of common views & practices

Article focuses on T’s #defamiliarization of common justifications of #violence (with examples), encouraging readers to admit their implicit #complicity & noticing process which numbed them into accepting such complicity

Then reflects on 4 specific #subversive characteristics of defam: #disruption of automated perception, implicit #concession of problem, corrosion of respect for traditional #hierarchies, & encouragement of #empathy
