If "event" is a proper name we reserve for monumental changes,
crises, transitions and ruptures that are by their very nature
unnameable or unthinkable, then this volume is an attempt to set up
an encounter between such eventhood as it comes to have a bearing
on literary works and the work of reading literature. As the event
continues to provide a valuable analytical paradigm for work
undertaken within the newer subdisciplines of literary and critical
theory, including close reading, bio- politics, world literature,
and eco- criticism, this volume makes a concerted effort to update
the scholarship in this area and foreground the recent resurgence
of interest in the concept. The book provides both a retrospective
appraisal of the significance of events to literary studies and the
literary humanities, as well as contemporary and prospective
appraisals of the same, and thus would appeal scholars and
instructors in the areas of literary theory, comparative literature
and philosophical aesthetics alike. Along with a specialist focus
on thinkers such as Derrida, Badiou, Deleuze and Malabou, the
essays in this volume read a wide corpus of literature ranging from
Han Kang, Homer, Renee Gladman, Proust and Flaubert to Yoruba
ideophones, Browning, Anne Carson, Jenichiro Oyabe and Ben Lerner.
