Ways of Re-Thinking Literature creates a unique platform where
leading literary thinkers and practitioners provide a multiplicity
of views into what literature is today. The texts gathered in this
extraordinary collection range from philosophy to poetry, to
theater, to cognitive sciences, to art criticism, to fiction, and
their authors rank amongst the most significant figures in their
fields, in France, the United States, and the United Kingdom.
Topics covered include an assessment of the role of literary
narratives in contemporary writing, new considerations on the
novel, a redefinition of the "poetic" factor in poetry and life,
and a discussion of how literature engages with contemporary forms
of individuality. Under the auspices of literary luminaries Helene
Cixous and the late John Ashbery, these new pieces of writing bring
to light contributions by innovative and well-established authors
from the English-speaking sphere, as well as never-before
translated prominent new voices in French theory. Featuring
original work from some of today's most influential authors, Ways
of Re-Thinking Literature is an indispensable tool for anybody
interested in the future and possibilities of literature as an
endeavor for life, thought, and creativity. With special cover
artwork by Rita Ackermann, the volume includes contributions from
Emily Apter, Philippe Artieres, John Ashbery, Paul Audi, Dodie
Bellamy, Tom Bishop, Helene Cixous, Laurent Dubreuil, Tristan
Garcia, Stathis Gourgouris, Donatien Grau, Boris Groys, Shelley
Jackson, Wayne Koestenbaum, Camille Laurens, Vanessa Place, Mael
Renouard, Peter Schjeldahl, Adam Thirlwell, and Camille de Toledo.
