A reading of Blanchot's idea of the disaster in relation to
contemporary fiction of the United Kingdom and Ireland A
comprehensive examination of a central, but undefined, aspect of
Maurice Blanchot's deeply influential thought, the disaster
Sustains an argument for the importance of fiction for representing
and comprehending catastrophic events Examines the complex relation
between philosophy and fiction, suggesting a deeply reciprocal
relation between artistic and philosophical responses to the
disaster Blanchot, Ecology and Contemporary Fiction: The Thought of
the Disaster delves into Maurice Blanchot's enigmatic, and deeply
influential, notion of the disaster a term Blanchot famously
refuses to define. By exploring the novels of Jon McGregor, Mike
McCormack, David Mitchell, Jeannette Winterson and Maggie Gee,
Jonathan Boulter suggests that we can think of literature, the
space of the imagination, as the place where some conception
(ethical, ecological, or ontological) of the disaster emerges.
These novels, all in some ways about the disaster, just as they are
inflected by the disaster, become the place where an understanding
of critical events death, ecological catastrophe, pandemics is
possible.
