If you talk about the poetics of gastronomy, or anything else, then you will be talking about the tropes we use to account for those things. Poetics as a systematic study of poetic logic applied wherever it is applied. <br Jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09371893596402673898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1055932257464975902.post-3901207389528176492013-05-04T02:15:25.604-05:002013-05-04T02:15:25.604-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04858865501469168339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1055932257464975902.post-64780339976355190692013-05-04T02:15:21.648-05:002013-05-04T02:15:21.648-05:00How does this relate to the sense of poetics one s...How does this relate to the sense of poetics one sometimes finds in cultural studies or social science. I'm thinking of the sort of thing people mean when they talk about "the poetics of the social", or the "poetics" of particular social practices like law or, as in my field, the "poetics of organizing".
