It determines the main features of the language of absolute war, how it gravitates around fundamental semantic clusters. The Literature of Absolute War studies the variegated responses given by literary authors to the extreme and seemingly unsolvable challenges posed by absolute war to epistemology, ethics, and language. It delves into the different poetics that articulate the writing on absolute war, placing special emphasis on four literary practices: traditional realism, traumatic realism, the fantastic, and catastrophic modernism."-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 241-268) and index. 505 0 $a Introduction -- The horror -- Terror -- Specters -- Coda: Remains. 648 7 $a 1939-1945 $2 fast 650 0 $a War in literature. 650 0 $a Total war. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Literature and the war. 650 0 $a Literature and transnationalism. 650 7 $a Total war. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01200792 650 7 $a Literature and transnationalism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01762400 650 7 $a War and literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01170442 650 7 $a War in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01170505 776 08 $i Online version: $a SantiaÌnÌez-TioÌ, Nil., $t The literature of absolute war $b 1. $d New York : Cambridge University Press, 2020. $z 9781108861144 $w (DLC) 2019052908 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117023416.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=651B0168DCB911EC8436229451ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
