Drawing on recent theoretical debate on the notion of community (Nancy, Blanchot, Badiou, Esposito), the essays in this collection examine narratives by Joyce, Waugh, Greene, LaGuma, Mansfield, Davies, O'Brien, Naipaul, DeLillo, Coetzee, Frame and Atwood. Through the integrated articulation of notions such as finitude, openness, exposure, immunity and death, we aim at uncovering the strategies of communal figuration at work in modern and contemporary fiction. Most of these strategies involve a rejection of organic communities based on essentialist fusion and an inclination to dramatize 'inoperative communities' (Nancy) of singularities aware of their own finitude and exposed to that of others."--Publisher's website. 505 0 $a Introduction -- Organic and Unworked Communities in James Joyce's The Dead / Pilar Villar ArgaÌiz -- 'Two Grinning Puppets Jigging Away in Nothingness:' Symbolism and the Community of Lovers in Katherine Mansfield's Short Fiction / Gerardo RodriÌguez Salas -- 'A Panegyric Preached Over an Empty Coffin': Waugh, or, the Inevitable End of Community / JuliaÌn JimeÌnez Heffernan -- 'Being involved:' Community and Commitment in Graham Greene's The Quiet American / Paula MartiÌn SalvaÌn -- Doomed to Walk the Night: Ghostly Communities and Promises in the Novels of Alex La Guma / MariÌa J.
