Redemptive Hybridism in Post-Postmodern Writing

Autor Dr. Tasha Haines
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 13 dec 2023
From Virginia Woolf to David Foster Wallace and beyond, 'redemptive hybridism' - a new way of reading texts full of possibility and genre blending - emerges as a key trajectory for post-postmodernity.Tasha Haines investigates what she calls 'redemptive hybridism' a tendency in post-postmodern writing characterized by possibility. She suggests that near the 21st century, postmodern élitisme gives way to a reparative blending of high-low forms and genre collaborations for challenging and extending the relationship between writer, written material, and reader. By combining an innovative literary investigation with creative and auto-theoretical strategies, Haines offers valuable new interpretations for texts of 'the modernisms continuum'. Her conversational survey moves among the hybridity of Virginia Woolf, the paratextuality of David Foster Wallace, with Nathalie Sarraute, Édouard Levé, Maggie Nelson and more. In reference to Deleuze and Guattari, Hassan, and others, writers are curated for their approach to form, method, and content, evoking and invoking textual hybridity. Haines articulates a new way of viewing works via comparisons and close-ups that exemplify the possibility and genre-blending that is Redemptive Hybridism in Post-Postmodern Writing.

Recenzii

With humility, skill, and ingenuity, Tasha Haines co-mingles philosophy, theory, and artistic autobiography to approach some of the most complex texts in the modernisms continuum. In Redemptive Hybridism, the hybrid, creative theories of Deleuze and Guattari, Hassan, Lyotard, Eagleton, Bakhtin, and others, flow through Virginia Woolf's atomic saturation, David Foster Wallace's unfinishedness, and Maggie Nelson's fragments. Haines' marriage of form and content is unusually lucid. It is a rare delight to accept Haines' invitation "to engage spaces of possibility in recognition of the fact that nothing ever really dies it simply crosses over, hybridly, redemptively.
A playful, probing text that not only forges new pathways for considering two major figures of the 20th century, but also provocatively invites the reader to reflect on their own role in the process. Reversing and disrupting received wisdom, Haines assembles a ludic and agile critical apparatus that is both critically rigorous and enormously enjoyable to read.
'To be "post" is to hold onto the past while transforming it,' Tasha Haines writes in her introduction. Firmly situating this study in the 21st century, hybridization emerges as a recuperative, exploratory act. Only with the un-mooring that comes with such risk, Haines argues, is real discovery-a re-envisioning of the terrain artists and theorists have covered and recovered-possible.
A discursively daring exploration of the conditions of redemption, sincerity, and literary camaraderie as located both in texts and at the seat of reader engagement.
