Elsewhereness - Saladdin Bahozde

The book is a literary project with extra-literary objectives and implications. For realizing its main goal, through its creative aesthetics, the book debases normalized forms of social violence, exclusionism, and tribalism. While the book is inspired by a philosophical theory that emphasizes the significance of negativity in the face of unspoken social rules of exclusionism, it is meant to be universally relatable by an average reader regardless of her perceived and proclaimed identities. The philosophy being referred to is postnihilism, which is theorized in a book published by Bloomsbury Academic in 2022. 'Auratic space' is a concept advanced in the author's other works, including a book published by the State University of New York Press in 2019 and one published by De Gruyter in 2024.
