Opis

The book analyses the response given by Anglophone fictions since the 1990s to the ethical and political demands of the facts of war, exclusion, climate change, contagion, posthumanism and other central issues of our post-trauma age by adapting traditional forms of expressing grievability such as elegy, testimony or (pseudo-)autobiography

Recenzje

“The Poetics and Ethics of (Un-)Grievability in Contemporary Anglophone Fiction offers a strong and complete study of different modalities of (un-)grievability in a variety of settings that stands as both relevant and thought-provoking. The authors fulfil the task of providing a nuanced study of Butler’s critical concepts and the volume proves to be useful for anyone interested in trauma, vulnerability and grievability in a wide array of contexts based on timely issues. It succeeds in its epistemological task, and it constitutes a key contribution to the field.”
