Anticipatory Materialisms in Literature and Philosophy, 1790–1930
Editat de Jo Carruthers, Nour Dakkak, Rebecca Spenceen Limba Engleză Hardback – 26 ian 2020
Anticipatory Materialisms explores nineteenth and early twentieth-century literature that
anticipates and pre-empts the recent philosophical ‘turn’ to materiality and affect. Critical volumes that approach literature via the prism of New Materialism are in the ascendence. This collection stakes a different claim: by engaging with neglected theories of materiality in literary and philosophical works that antedate the twenty-first century ‘turn’ to New Materialism and theories of affect, the project aims to establish a dialogue between recent theoretical considerations of people-world relations in literature and that which has gone before. This project seeks to demonstrate the particular and meaningful ways in which interactions between people and the physical world were being considered in literature between the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The project does not propose an air of finality; indeed, it is our hope that offering provocative and challenging chapters, which approach the subject from various critical and thematic perspectives, the collection will establish a broader dialogue regarding the ways in philosophy and literature have intersected and informed each other over the course of the long nineteenth century.

Textul de pe ultima copertă
“Anticipatory Materialisms is a timely interdisciplinary collection that draws together ethics, politics and poetics to reimagine and interrogate human precedence in the material world. It presents both a profound and provocative engagement with literature and philosophy to assert the general interdependence of all matter in the natural world.”
—Lesa Scholl, author of Hunger Movements in Early Victorian Literature Anticipatory Materialisms explores nineteenth and early twentieth-century literature that pre-empts the recent philosophical ‘turn’ to materiality and affect. Critical volumes that approach literature via the prism of new materialism are in the ascendence. This collection stakes a different claim: by engaging with neglected theories of materiality in literary and philosophical works that antedate the twentyfirst century ‘turn’ to new materialism and theories of affect, the project aims to establish a dialoguebetween recent and earlier conceptualisations of people-world relations. The essays collected here demonstrate the particular and meaningful ways in which interactions between people and the physical world were being considered in literature between the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This book does not propose an air of finality; indeed, it is our hope that by offering provocative and challenging chapters, which approach the subject from various critical and thematic perspectives, the collection will establish a broader dialogue regarding the ways philosophy and literature have intersected and informed each other over the course of the long nineteenth century.
