A novel is an act an intervention which most often the na ve reader takes as a representation. The novel intervenes to modify or correct our conventional notions of a situation and in the best and most intense cases to propose a wholly new idea of what constitutes an event or of the very experience of living. The most interesting contemporary novels are those which try and sometimes succeed in awakening our sense of a collectivity behind individual experience; opening up a relationship between the isolated subjectivity and class or community. But even if this happens (rarely!) one must go on to find traces of collective praxis hidden away within the mere awakening of a feeling of multitude. And since it is in the sense of the nation and nationality that collectivity is most often expressed it is urgent to disengage the possibilities of genuine action within these nationalisms. This sweeping collection of essays ranges from the elusive politicality of North American literature to the sometimes frozen narrative experiences of the eastern countries and the old Soviet Union; from East Germany to Japan Latin America and the Nordic countries. Like any such voyage it is an arbitrary movement across the world of historical situations which however seeks to dramatize their common kinship in late capitalism itself.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Inventions Of A Present The Novel In Its Crisis Of Globalization\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Jameson Fredric\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Verso Books\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781804292402\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 272 Pages\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 5\/7\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Marxism \u0026amp; Communism","brand":"Jameson Fredric","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49624523735345,"sku":"IN-G-9781804292402","price":26.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781804292402.jpg?v=1724944966","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781804292402-inventions-of-a-present-the-novel-in-its-crisis-of-globalization","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
