New Ecological Realisms: Post-Apocalyptic Fiction and Contemporary Theory by Monika Kaup
Requirements: .PDF reader, 8.5 MB
Overview: Monika Kaup pairs post-apocalyptic novels by Margaret Atwood, José Saramago, Octavia Butler and Cormac McCarthy with new realist theories from Bruno Latour, Humberto Maturana, Francisco Varela, Markus Gabriel, Jean-Luc Marion and Alphonso Lingis. She shows that, just as new realist theory can illuminate post-apocalyptic literature, post-apocalyptic literature can illuminate new theories of the real. Kaup showcases a context-based concept of the real. She argues that new realisms of complex and embedded wholes, actor-networks and ecologies – not the old realisms of isolated parts and things – represent the most promising escape from the impasses of constructivism and positivism.
