{"product_id":"daughter-isotope-9781946031907","title":"Daughter Isotope","description":"\u003cp\u003eDaughter Isotope is a book of \"hybrid\" poems that speaks to multiple iterations of \"daughter\" tropes across generations, national borders, and timescales. Central to the question of the Daughter Isotope is: What is a collective archive? within a global, disparate, migrant cultural space. DI is organized in a series of four \"clouds,\" calling up the vague, penetrable borders of our digital lives, both searching and searchable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThroughout the manuscript, the poems operate as types of search engines that test the boundaries of often overlapping archives or \"clouds\" that make up diasporic experience. Starting with a series of poems based on the Mahabharata, an \"encyclopedic\" Sanskrit epic-cloud about an apocalyptic war composed over centuries, the organization of the manuscript is based off of South Asian polyvocal storytelling traditions. Like Donna Haraway's cyborg, a \"daughter\" gender could be seen as any \"child\" or subject under a rigid paternal order - whether Hindu nationalism or U.S. exceptionalism - whose filiation is in question. Dispersed through the manuscript are multiple versions\/clouds of Draupadi, Emily Dickinson, Judy Garland, Krishna, Michael Jackson, and the aspirational figure of @agirl, among others uncertain \"daughters.\" Poems interrogate the stability of various \"daughter\" genders through myth, online personas, computer gaming, nuclear physics, and artificial intelligence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-10065246\"\u003eVidhu Aggarwal\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Operating System\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/22\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 8.50w x 0.34d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781946031907\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1946031909\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-POE\"\u003ePoetry\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-POE024000\"\u003eWomen Authors\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-ART\"\u003eArt\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-ART008000\"\u003eConceptual\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Operating System","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50826118889769,"sku":"9781946031907","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0855\/5747\/7673\/files\/img_085fcc0c-5914-41f0-ac8a-5462ab6528f9.jpg?v=1755709438","url":"https:\/\/www.njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/products\/daughter-isotope-9781946031907","provider":"New Jersey Corrections Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
