Explores Beckett's artistic vision at the intersection of queer,
disability and posthumanist studies The first volume to address
norms and normalcy as an enduring target of Beckettian skepticism
Shifts the emphasis from generic talk of 'Other Becketts' to
specific accounts of the queer, the disabling, the abnormalising
aspects of the mature works Absorbs and transcends the
philosophy/history binary that has shaped the last twenty years
Brings Beckett Studies into the twenty-first century as the first
intersectional volume to address queerness, disability and
biopolitics together This book examines why Beckett's writing is so
queer, so disabled and disabling. Why did Beckett write so often
about mental illness, disability, perversion? Why did he take such
an interest in 'abnormals' and 'degenerates'? How did he reconceive
'the human' in the wake of Hitler and Stalin? Drawing on Beckett's
voluminous archive, as well as his primary texts, the authors use
psychoanalysis, queer theory, disability theory and biopolitics to
push Beckett studies beyond the normal.
