This book is the first edited collection to explore the role of
philosophy in the works of Cormac McCarthy, significantly expanding
the scope of philosophical inquiry into McCarthy's writings. There
is a strong and growing interest amongst philosophers in the
relevance of McCarthy's writings to key debates in contemporary
philosophy, for example, debates on trauma and violence, on the
relationship between language and world, and the place of the
subject within history, temporality, and borders. To this end, the
contributors to this collection focus on how McCarthy's writings
speak to various philosophical themes, including violence, war,
nature, history, materiality, and the environment. Emphasizing the
form of McCarthy's texts, the chapters attend to the myriad ways in
which his language effects a philosophy of its own, beyond the
thematic content of his narratives. Bringing together scholars in
contemporary philosophy and McCarthy Studies, and informed by the
release of the Cormac McCarthy Papers, the volume reflects on the
theoretical relationship between philosophical thinking and
literary form. This book will appeal to all scholars working in the
rapidly-growing field of McCarthy Studies, Philosophy and
Literature, and to philosophers working on a wide range of problems
in ethics, aesthetics, epistemology, Philosophy of Nature, and
Philosophy of Film across ancient, modern, and contemporary
philosophy.
Examining representations of speech disorders in works of
literature, this first collection of its kind founds a new
multidisciplinary subfield related but not limited to the emerging
fields of disability studies and medical humanities. The scope is
wide-ranging both in terms of national literatures and historical
periods considered, engaging with theoretical discussions in
poststructuralism, disability studies, cultural studies, new
historicism, gender studies, sociolinguistics, trauma studies, and
medical humanities. The book's main focus is on the development of
an awareness of speech pathology in the literary imaginary from the
late-eighteenth century to the present, studying the novel, drama,
epic poetry, lyric poetry, autobiography and autopathography, and
clinical case studies and guidebooks on speech therapy. The volume
addresses a growing interest, both in popular culture and the
humanities, regarding the portrayal of conditions such as
stuttering, aphasia and mutism, along with the status of the self
in relation to those conditions. Since speech pathologies are
neither illnesses nor outwardly physical disabilities, critical
studies of their representation have tended to occupy a liminal
position in relation to other discourses such as literary and
cultural theory, and even disability studies. One of the primary
aims of this collection is to address this marginalization, and to
position a cultural criticism of speech pathology within literary
studies.
