New Perspectives on Community and the Modernist Subject: Finite,
Singular, Exposed offers new approaches to the modernist subject
and its relation to community. With a non-exclusive focus on
narrative, the essays included provide innovative and theoretically
informed readings of canonical modernist authors, including: James,
Conrad, Joyce, Woolf, Lawrence, Mansfield, Stein, Barnes and
Faulkner (instead of Eliot), as well as of non-canonical and late
modernists Stapledon, Rhys, Beckett, Isherwood, and Baldwin
(instead of Marsden). This volume examines the context of new
dialectico-metaphysical approaches to subjectivity and
individuality and of recent philosophical debate on community
encouraged by critics such as Alain Badiou, Jean-Luc Nancy, Maurice
Blanchot, Giorgio Agamben, Roberto Esposito and Jacques Derrida,
among others, of which a fresh re-definition of the modernist
subject and community remains to be made, one that is likely to
enrich the field of "new Modernist studies". This volume will fill
this gap, presenting a re-definition of the subject by
complementing community-oriented approaches to modernist fiction
through a dialectical counterweight that underlines a conception of
the modernist subject as finite, singular and exposed, and its
relation to inorganic and inoperative communities.
