Description:
Transmodern Literatures in the 21st Century: Of(f) Limits offers an in-depth examination of how transmodern literatures in English over the last two decades have addressed the phenomenon of the limit. The 14 chapters that make up the volume examine how geographical, racial, ethnical, sociocultural, generical, ontological, epistemological, and other limits are articulated, transgressed, and reconfigured in recent narratives by authors writing in a wide variety of transmodern trends such as Afro- and Africanfuturism, Young Adult feminist science fiction, food fiction, air travel fiction, the networked novel, and future narratives amongst others. They thereby expose and challenge hierarchised binary dichotomies as Euro- and Anthropocentric exclusionary discursive constructs that have kept non-hegemonic voices off limits. To counter the detrimental effects of the neoliberal grand narrative of globalisation, the chapters as well as the narratives of the limit they analyse emphasise an urgent need for inclusiveness, relationality, and communality.
