Transmodern Literatures in the 21st Century: Of(f) Limits offers an in-depth examination of how transmodern literatures in English over the last two decades have addressed the phenomenon of the limit. The 14 chapters that make up the volume examine how geographical, racial, ethnical, sociocultural, generical, ontological, epistemological, and other limits are articulated, transgressed, and reconfigured in recent narratives by authors writing in a wide variety of transmodern trends such as Afro- and Africanfuturism, Young Adult feminist science fiction, food fiction, air travel fiction, the networked novel, and future narratives amongst others. They thereby expose and challenge hierarchised binary dichotomies as Euro- and Anthropocentric exclusionary discursive constructs that have kept non-hegemonic voices off limits. To counter the detrimental effects of the neoliberal grand narrative of globalisation, the chapters as well as the narratives of the limit they analyse emphasise an urgent need for inclusiveness, relationality, and communality.
Claus-Peter Neumann is Associate Professor in the Department of English and German Studies at the University of Zaragoza, where he teaches US Literature as well as English Drama and Theatre. His research covers a wide variety of topics, including English and American literature, Second Language Acquisition, English for Specific Purposes, discourse analysis, and the Spanish “novela negra.” Within the field of literature, he has mainly focused on the examination of gender relations and desire, the representation of war and its aftermath as well as the questioning of borders and the concomitant deconstruction of self versus Other in recent US theatre. He has published on Tennessee Williams, William Faulkner, Ernest Hemingway, Vladimir Nabokov, Jerzy Kosinski, and Tony Kushner, amongst others, in international journals such as Arbeiten aus Anglistik und Amerikanistik, Revista de Estudios Norteamericanos, and The Journal of American Drama and Theatre.
