Literature and the Global Contemporary (New Comparisons in World Literature) de Sarah Brouillette,Mathias Nilges,Emilio Sauri
Descripción - Críticas “It’s well past time that someone took a comparative approach to the study of contemporary literature. Taking deep dives into work from Latin America and Africa as well as England and the United States, and challenging a notion of the contemporary as dominated by the homogenizing time of capitalism, the contributors to this volume explore the multiple temporalities central to recent writing. In their indispensable account, a complex and layered notion of time becomes not only the formal hallmark of contemporary literature but also the means by which it re-opens the possibility of imagining new, collectively determined futures.” (Professor Andrew Hoberek, Department of English, University of Missouri, USA) Reseña del editor This book attempts to understand what ‘contemporary’ has meant, and should mean, for literary studies. The essays in this volume suggest that an attentive reading of recent global literatures challenges the idea that our contemporary moment is best characterized as a timeless, instantaneous ‘now’. The contributors to this book argue that global literatures help us to conceive of the contemporary as an always plural, heterogeneous, and contested temporality. Far from suggesting that we replace theories of an omnipresent ‘end of history’ with a traditional, single, diachronic timeline, this book encourages the development of such a timeline’s rigorous inverse: a synchronic, multi-faceted and multi-temporal history of the contemporary in literature, and thus of contemporary global literatures. It opens up the concept of the contemporary for comparative study by unlocking its temporal, logical, political, and ultimately aesthetic and literary complexity.
