{"product_id":"beginnings","title":"Beginnings","description":"\u003cp\u003eBeginnings is Edward Said's study of beginning as a method in modern thought. It separates origin, which is divine, mythical, and privileged, from beginning, which is secular and humanly produced. Said traces ideas of beginning through history. A beginning creates meaning and difference from older traditions. It authorizes later texts, enabling them and limiting what is acceptable. The book treats the novel as a Western attempt to give beginnings an authorizing role in experience, art, and knowledge. Said argues scholarship should be a beginning that unites theory and practice, and criticism should be humane and socially responsible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhy You Should Read?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplore how beginning differs from origin in modern thought and human production.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscover how a beginning enables later texts while limiting what is acceptable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFollow Said's account of the novel as a Western attempt to authorize beginnings in art.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnderstand why scholarship can unite theory and practice as a beginning for humane criticism.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Granta Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":71447000187133,"sku":null,"price":2718.0,"currency_code":"NPR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0484\/4145\/8840\/files\/9781847085993-5c3be564982bfae6.jpg?v=1790953089","url":"https:\/\/biblionepal.com\/ar\/products\/beginnings","provider":"BIBLIONEPAL","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
