The discussed literary aesthetics present innovative forms of narration that unfold in the context of various cultural horizons - including the countries of Algeria, China, France, Germany, Romania, Switzerland, Trinidad and Tobago, the UK, and the United States - and academic disciplines"-- Back cover. 520 $a The experience of witnessing and undertaking border crossings has become a pillar of the contemporary human condition. In order to respond to our global, multidimensional social reality, writers need to generate innovative forms of narration that expand the confines of literary tradition. This study discusses four types of border crossing (migration, intercultural dialogue, multicultural identities, military invasion) and presents literary aesthetics that unfold in Algeria, China, France, Germany, Romania, Switzerland, Trinidad and Tobago, the UK, and the USA. These analyses move from the fall of the Iron Curtain to the rise of the internet, and from the turn of the millennium to the terrorist attacks of 9/11, and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Positioned in the field of comparative literature, this book draws upon an extensive background of theoretical thought (e.g. Adorno/Horkheimer, Arendt, Dawkins, Fanon, Freud, Kristeva, ZÌizÌek) and reaches into other academic disciplines (such as religious studies). Border crossings thus serve as both theme and methodology, which not only leads to a new definition of post-modern writing, but also underlines literature's relevance in a global society driven by public discourse. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages [251]-270) and index. 650 0 $a Border crossing in literature. 650 0 $a Boundaries in literature. 650 7 $a Border crossing in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01902597 650 7 $a Boundaries in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00837088 830 0 $a Interdisciplinary German cultural studies ; $v v. 27. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317015640.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A002D8D0FFE911EBB6EAFDEE22ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
