Contemporary Literary Theories: Theoretical Propositions After Postmodernism

By Ali Ammar

New literary movements and fresh theoretical perspectives often come as spinoffs or extensions of existing frameworks. The decline, if not demise, of postmodernism as a vital cultural force, spurred diverse and discordant theoretical propositions into claiming a place as the next dominant paradigm. Picking the thread from postmodern ideas, and combining wide-ranging, interdisciplinary and inclusive approaches like ethics, global cultures, digital technology, immigration, and environment, scholars and theorists have since come up with a range of new ideas and theories. What those fresh perspectives are, and where they stand as possible replacements or alternatives to postmodernism, merits a closer look.

This book combines, in one place, a detailed and critical discussion of all such concepts and theories, providing the students of (literary) theory a holistic theoretical toolkit to apply on literary works.
