  Emptiness and Temporality is an account of classical Japanese poetics that takes its starting point in the two Buddhist concepts of emptiness (J. ku) and temporality (mujo) that ground the medieval understanding of poetry, and examines their affinity with contemporary Western theory, particularly Derridean differance and deconstruction.
