It has become a critical commonplace that postmodernism no longer
serves as an adequate designation for contemporary literature. But
what comes after postmodernism? What are the tendencies and
directions within contemporary American literature that promise to
shape its future? The contributions to this book are written in the
shadows of 'new media', a turn towards the nonhuman in critical
thinking, and a surge in environmental and apocalyptic thought.
Engaging with such contemporary debates, the authors map the
rapidly changing ecosystem of contemporary literary genres and
forms and attend to transformations in the production, reception,
and circulation of books. This book takes for granted that American
literature does have a future, although whatever this future holds,
it is unlikely to be what we expect. At this historical juncture,
the American novel seems to carve its future though an engagement
with issues at the forefront of our present, thereby ensuring its
own ongoing contemporaneity. This book was originally published as
a special issue of Studia Neophilologica.
