Have we moved beyond postmodernism? Did postmodernism lose its oppositional value when it became a cultural dominant? While focusing on questions such as these, the articles in this collection consider the possibility that the death of a certain version of postmodernism marks a renewed attempt to re-negotiate and perhaps re-embrace many of the cultural, literary and theoretical assumptions that postmodernism seemly denied outright. Including contributions from some of the leading scholars in the field – N. Katherine Hayles, John D. Caputo, Paul Maltby, Jane Flax, among others – this collection ultimately comes together to perform a certain work of mourning. Through their explorations of this current epistemological shift in narrative and theoretical production, these articles work to “get over” postmodernism while simultaneously celebrating a certain postmodern inheritance, an inheritance that can offer us important avenues to understanding and affecting contemporary culture and society.

Maps out how new developments in 21st-century philosophy intersect with the study of literatureIncludes an orientational introduction by Claire Colebrook, one of the world's foremost authorities in the fieldEngages dynamic debates about what it means to be human in face of recent developments in science and technology, the repercussions of anthropogenic climate change, and the overall nature of our contemporary momentDraws on new developments in philosophy including speculative realism, object-oriented ontology, the new materialisms, posthumanism, analytic philosophy of language and metaphysics, and ecophilosophyOffers close readings of a range of texts from 19th- and 20th-century classics such as Walden, Uncle Tom’s Cabin and Nineteen Eighty-Four to contemporary novels such as A Visit from the Goon Squad, Oryx and Crake and The Stone GodsThis forward-thinking, non-traditional reference work uniquely maps out how new developments in 21st century philosophy are entering into dialogue with the study of literature. Going beyond the familiar methods of analytic philosophy, and with a breadth greater than traditional literary theory, this collection looks at the profound consequences of the interaction between philosophy and literature for questions of ethics, politics, subjectivity, materiality, reality and the nature of the contemporary itself.Literary Case StudiesOryx and Crake and Year of the Flood by Margaret AtwoodSo Close by Hélène Cixous, 10:04 by Ben LernerKapow! by Adam ThirlwellA Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer EganRalph Waldo Emerson’s essays‘Mississippi’ by William FaulknerThe Flood by Maggie GeeThe Ship by Antonia HoneywellThe Map and the Territory by Michel HouellebecqSolar by Ian McEwanWhen the Floods Came by Clare MorrallNineteen Eighty-Four by George OrwellPercy Bysshe Shelley’s poetrySuper Sad True Love Story by Gary ShteyngartWalden by Henry David ThoreauKapitoil by Teddy WayneThe Intuitionist by Colson WhiteheadThe Stone Gods by Jeanette WintersonWilliam Wordsworth’s poetryContributorsRidvan Askin, University of Basel, SwitzerlandR.
