Literature and Materialisms sheds light on the current new wave of
materialisms and assesses the impact on literary theory and
criticism. It maps the similarities and differences between
speculative realism, object-oriented philosophy, and vitalism. A
genealogy of materialisms, vitalisms, empiricisms, and realist
approaches - from Heraclitus to Badiou, including Lucretius,
Spinoza, Marx, Althusser, Barad, Spivak, Deleuze, Bennett, Harman,
and other contemporary thinkers - puts these new trends into
perspective. This book investigates the relations between
literature - from Marquis de Sade to objectivist poetry - and
materialism and analyses the material aspects of literature, its
structure and texture, its commodification and its capacity to
resist market imperatives. It explores how literary style might be
understood as a mediation between the 'immaterial' and the concrete
features of a text. This volume provides students and academics
with an accessible overview of the study of literature and
materialism.
