Monika Kaup pairs post-apocalyptic novels by Margaret Atwood, Jose
Saramago, Octavia Butler and Cormac McCarthy with new realist
theories from Bruno Latour, Humberto Maturana, Francisco Varela,
Markus Gabriel, Jean-Luc Marion and Alphonso Lingis. She shows
that, just as new realist theory can illuminate post-apocalyptic
literature, post-apocalyptic literature can illuminate new theories
of the real. Kaup showcases a context-based concept of the real.
She argues that new realisms of complex and embedded wholes,
actor-networks and ecologies - not the old realisms of isolated
parts and things - represent the most promising escape from the
impasses of constructivism and positivism.
