Beckett and nothing invites its readership to understand the
complex ways in which the Beckett canon both suggests and resists
turning nothing into something by looking at specific, sometimes
almost invisible ways in which 'little nothings' pervade the
Beckett canon. The volume has two main functions: on the one hand,
it looks at 'nothing' not only as a content but also a set of
rhetorical strategies to reconsider afresh classic Beckett problems
such as Irishness, silence, value, marginality, politics and the
relationships between modernism and postmodernism and absence and
presence. On the other, it focuses on 'nothing' in order to assess
how the Beckett oeuvre can help us rethink contemporary
preoccupations with materialism, neurology, sculpture, music and
television. The volume is a scholarly intervention in the fields of
Beckett studies which offers its chapters as case studies to use in
the classroom. It will prove of interest to advanced students and
scholars in English, French, Comparative Literature, Drama, Visual
Studies, Philosophy, Music, Cinema and TV studies. -- .
