Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
How has the pervasive spread of free market thinking affected contemporary literature?Neoliberalism has been a buzzword in literary studies for well over a decade, but its meaning remains ambiguous and its salience contentious. In Neoliberalism and Contemporary Literary Culture, Mitchum Huehls and Rachel Greenwald Smith offer a wideranging exploration of contemporary literature through the lens of neoliberalisms economic, social, and cultural ascendance. Bringing together accessible and provocative essays from top literary scholars, this innovative collection examines neoliberalisms influence on literary theory and methodology, literary form, literary representation, and literary institutions.A fourphase approach to the historical emergence of neoliberalism from the early 1970s to the present helps to clarify the complexity of the relationship between neoliberalism and literary culture. Layering that history over the diverse changes in a USAnglo literary field that has moved away from postmodern forms and sensibilities, the book argues that many literary developmentsincluding the return to realism, the rise of the memoir, the embrace of New Materialist theory, and the pursuit of aesthetic autonomymake more coherent sense when viewed in light of neoliberalisms everincreasing expansion into the cultural sphere.The essays gathered here engage a diverse range of theorists, including Michel Foucault, Wendy Brown, Giorgio Agamben, Bruno Latour, Maurice MerleauPonty, Gary Becker, and Eve Sedgwick to address the reciprocal relationship between neoliberalism and conceptual fields such as biopolitics, affect, phenomenology, ecology, and new materialist ontology. These theoretical perspectives are complemented by innovative readings of contemporary works of literature by writers such as Jennifer Egan, Ben Lerner, Gillian Flynn, Teju Cole, Jonathan Franzen, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Salvador Plascencia, E. L. James, Lisa Robertson, Kenneth Goldsmith, and many others. Neoliberalism and Contemporary Literary Culture is essential reading for anyone invested in the everchanging state of literary culture.
