Empowerment as a concept is making its impact on the field of
literary studies. This volume shows its intricate relation to
contemporary fiction in English with a broad range of approaches
such as feminist, transcultural, and intersectional studies and
dealing with genres as diverse as dystopia, science fiction, TV
adaptations, the historical novel and immigrant fiction.
This is the first monograph of its kind to introduce and theorise
empowerment as a new critical concept within contemporary literary
studies. This book will be a valuable resource for anyone
interested in David Mitchell’s fictional universe as it offers
fresh perspectives on his composition of an "Über-book", his
narrative strategies and agenda, and ways of engaging the reader.
This study is the first to situate David Mitchell’s novels within
the context of eudaimonic reading and provide a comprehensive
framework for reading fiction through the lens of empowerment. This
book argues for a stronger interdisciplinary orientation of
literary studies to understand how practices of storytelling are
enmeshed in discourses of power. It may thus be relevant to
academics and practitioners from fields such as history,
philosophy, sociology, political science, psychology, pedagogy or
economics.
