| Abstract |
"How is postcolonial criticism challenged by contemporary world literature approaches? And how must world literature be rethought in light of the legacies of postcolonialism? Exploring their fault lines and their affinities, Postcolonialism After World Literature brings these two critical schools into conversation to renew our understanding of how contemporary literature responds to the challenges of globalization. Bringing postcolonial perspectives to bear on the work of important world literature critics such as Franco Moretti and Pascale Casanova and drawing on contemporary philosophical thought in the work of Deleuze and Ranciére, Lorna Burns argues for a new framework for writing about literary responses to key issues such as cosmopolitanism, the nation state and global culture. Writers covered include: Roberto Bolaño, J.M. Coetzee, Kamel Daoud, Rawi Hage, Moshin Hamid, Yuri Herrera, Marlon James and Pauline Melville"-- Provided by publisher. |
