Between science and literature

Between Science and Literature introduces the fundamentals of cultural and literary theory to nonspecialists while reorienting these fields toward exciting new ideas, especially the notion of language itself as a kind of living thing. In the process, Ira Livingston draws on the work of thinkers across disciplines, from philosophers like Deleuze and Guattari to sociologists like Niklas Luhmann and biologists like Stuart Kauffmann, as well as historians, gender theorists, and science fiction writers. -- from back cover.
