The Trouble With Big Data How Datafication Displaces Cultural Practices

Utopia Beyond Capitalism in Contemporary Literature

A Commons Poetics

Raphael Kabo, Independent scholar

Providing fresh readings of contemporary utopian poetry and fiction from authors such as Juliana Spahr, Mohsin Hamid, Bong Joon-ho, Kim Stanley Robinson, Lidia Yukavitch, and Cory Doctorow, this book investigates the commons - a form of organisation based on collectivity, communalism and sharing - as a type of transition between capitalist precarity and crisis and anti-capitalist futures

Through its examination of these writers, crises and texts, this book reaffirms the use of utopianism as a tool for generating and representing alternative futures for a world in the midst of ongoing planetary crisis

Creaturely Forms in Contemporary Literature

Narrating the War Against Animals

Dominic O'Key

Through close readings of works by W G Sebald, J M Coetzee and Mahasweta Devi, this book explores how contemporary authors are rethinking the relations between humans and other animals in an age of mass extinction and mass over-production It shows how contemporary literature mediates and contests, but also reimagines, the relations between humans and other animals and makes the case that contemporary literature powerfully challenges the fiction of human exceptionalism

Contemporary Fiction, Celebrity Culture, and the Market for Modernism

Fictions of Celebrity

Carey Mickalites

This book argues that contemporary celebrity authors like Zadie Smith, Ian McEwan, Martin Amis, Kazuo Ishiguro, Salman Rushdie, Eimear McBride and Anna Burns position their work and public personae within a received modernist canon to claim and monetize its cultural capital in the lucrative market for literary fiction. Mickalites also shows how the corporate conditions of marketing and branding have redefined older models of literary influence and innovation.

Peripheralizing DeLillo

Surplus Populations, Capitalist Crisis, and the Novel

Thomas Travers, Independent Scholar, UK

Drawing on theories that capital, rather than the bourgeoisie, is the displaced subject of the novel, Thomas Travers investigates DeLillo’s representation of fully commodified social worlds and re-evaluates Marxist accounts of the novel and its philosophy of history The DeLillo that emerges from this study is no longer an exemplary postmodern writer, but a composer of capitalist epics, a novelist drawn to peripheral zones of accumulation, zones of social death whose surplus populations his fiction strives to re-historicise, if not re-dialecticise as subjects of history

Rereading Darwin’s Origin of Species

The Hesitations of an Evolutionist

Richard G. Delisle & James Tierney

Contrary to prevailing contemporary perceptions of Charles Darwin and his work, this book reveals a more nuanced picture, presenting him as a man of his time who struggled to reconcile the received wisdom of an unchanging natural world with his new ideas of evolution

Unable to break free entirely from his contemporaries' more traditional outlook, this book claims, Darwin did his best to come up with a theory that, ultimately, constitutes a fascinating compromise between the old and the new Rediscovering this other Darwin –and this other side of On the Origin of Species –helps us grasp the immensity of the task that lay before 19th century scholars and their ultimate achievements

Posthumorism

The Modernist Affect of Laughter

Frances McDonald

A cogent and stylishly written analysis of the non-humorous meanings of laughter, this book explores a unique strain of laughter in modernism that is without humor, without humans, and without humanism, offering a bold new theory of modernism’s affects

Presenting a series of case studies into this thoroughly modern (and modernist) gesture of laughter, with particular attention paid to its creative operation, this book explores how various stylists of posthumorist laughter—from Nathanael West and Kurt Vonnegut to Georges Bataille and Hélène Cixous—use it as a tool to unsettle and reconfigure not only the individual human, but also the shapes and forms of humanist discourse

Reflecting the diversity of postcolonial print cultures, this book covers local, national, and transnational cultures from Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas, examining published and unpublished writing, magazines, pamphlets, paratexts, advertisements, cartoons, radio, and street art that serve as the intellectual forces behind opposition to colonial orders, as meditations on the futures of embryonic nation states, and as visions of new forms of equality

Drawing on the ‘gutter’ in graphic narratives – the gap between panels that a reader has to fill to generate narrative sequence, the author analyses the verse novel, a form prolific in the postcolonial world and among marginalized writers in the Global North This study concentrates on two areas in which verse novels show distinction: ‘planetary’ novels in which the volcano evokes a world in constant un/making; and post-national novels in Britain that shift paradigms of imagined communities These trends in verse novels show an apprehension of living in an unpredictable and dangerous world
