    Preliminary Material -- Introduction -- Defining Gothic-postmodernism -- On Gothic Terror -- Generic Investigations: What is ‘Gothic’? -- Postmodernism -- The Gothic and Postmodernism – At the Interface -- Gothic Literary Transformations: The Fin de Siecle and Modernism -- Introduction to Part II -- The Gothic-postmodernist Novel: Three Models -- Gothic Metafiction: The Satanic Verses -- Bulgakov’s The Master and Margarita -- Textual Terrors of the Self: Haunting and Hyperreality in Lunar Park -- Conclusion -- Bibliography -- Index. Being the first to outline the literary genre, Gothic-postmodernism, this book articulates the psychological and philosophical implications of terror in postmodernist literature, analogous to the terror of the Gothic novel, uncovering the significance of postmodern recurrences of the Gothic, and identifying new historical and philosophical aspects of the genre. While many critics propose that the Gothic has been exhausted, and that its significance is depleted by consumer society’s obsession with instantaneous horror, analyses of a number of terror-based postmodernist novels here suggest that the Gothic is still very much animated in Gothic-postmodernism. These analyses observe the spectral characters, doppelgangers , hellish waste lands and the demonised or possessed that inhabit texts such as Paul Auster’s City of Glass , Salman Rushdie’s The Satanic Verses and Bret Easton Ellis’s Lunar Park . However, it is the deeper issue of the lingering emotion of terror as it relates to loss of reality and self, and to death, that is central to the study; a notion of ‘terror’ formulated from the theories of continental philosophers and contemporary cultural theorists. With a firm emphasis on the sublime and the unrepresentable as fundamental to this experience of terror; vital to the Gothic genre; and central to the postmodern experience, this study offers an insightful and concise definition of Gothic-postmodernism. It firmly argues that ‘terror’ (with all that it involves) remains a connecting and potent link between the Gothic and postmodernism: two modes of literature that together offer a unique voicing of the unspeakable terrors of postmodernity

    "Terror and Irish Modernism offers a synoptic overview of modern Irish fiction. Covering more than two centuries of literary production, Jim Hansen locates the root structure of modern Irish fiction in the masculine gender anxiety of one of the nineteenth century's most popular literary genres: the Gothic. Addressing both the decolonization of Ireland and the politics of literary form, Hansen sheds new light on canonical works by Maria Edgeworth, C. R. Maturin, Oscar Wilde, James Joyce, and Samuel Beckett by reading them all as part of the generic tradition of the Irish Gothic. He focuses in particular on how the Irish Gothic tradition translated the English Gothic's female-confinement narrative into a story about confined, feminized male protagonists. In reading this male gender-disorientation as the foundational condition of modern Irish political identity, Terror and Irish Modernism provides a thoroughly new genealogy of modern Irish fiction."--BOOK JACKET

    Main description: An Texten zu Diktatur- und Lagererfahrungen aus der europäischen Geschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts untersucht der Band die Frage nach der Transformation von Terror, Gewalt und Schmerz in Literatur: Mit welchen erzählerischen Mitteln kommunizieren die Texte Grenzerfahrungen am Rande des Sagbaren, wie stellt sich das Spannungsverhältnis von Faktualität und Fiktion in ihnen dar, welches Zukunftspotential könnte dieser Erinnerungsliteratur innewohnen? Main description: This book examines works on the experiences of dictatorship and concentration camps in 20th century history to investigate the question of how terror, violence, and pain can be transformed into literature. What narrative tools do these texts use to communicate liminal experiences at the outer limits of what can be said, how do they deal with the tension between fact and fiction, and what potentials dwell within this literature of remembrance?

    Main description: An Texten zu Diktatur- und Lagererfahrungen aus der europäischen Geschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts untersucht der Band die Frage nach der Transformation von Terror, Gewalt und Schmerz in Literatur: Mit welchen erzählerischen Mitteln kommunizieren die Texte Grenzerfahrungen am Rande des Sagbaren, wie stellt sich das Spannungsverhältnis von Faktualität und Fiktion in ihnen dar, welches Zukunftspotential könnte dieser Erinnerungsliteratur innewohnen? Main description: This book examines works on the experiences of dictatorship and concentration camps in 20th century history to investigate the question of how terror, violence, and pain can be transformed into literature. What narrative tools do these texts use to communicate liminal experiences at the outer limits of what can be said, how do they deal with the tension between fact and fiction, and what potentials dwell within this literature of remembrance?

    This book examines the quest for/failure of Utopia across a range of contemporary American/transnational fictions in relation to terror and globalization through authors such as Susan Choi, André Dubus, Dalia Sofer, and John Updike. While recent critical thinkers have reengaged with Utopia, the possibility of terror - whether state or non-state, external or homegrown - shadows Utopian imaginings. Terror and Utopia are linked in fiction through the exploration of the commodification of affect, a phenomenon of a globalized world in which feelings are managed, homogenized across cultures, exagger

    Main description: In the “Thaw” following Stalin’s death, probing conversations about the nation’s violent past took place in the literary journal Novyi mir (New World). Readers’ letters reveal that discussion of the Terror was central to intellectual and political life during the USSR’s last decades. Denis Kozlov shows how minds change, even in a closed society. Biographical note: KozlovDenis: Denis Kozlov is Assistant Professor of History at Dalhousie University. Main description: In the wake of Stalin’s death in 1953, the Soviet Union entered a period of relative openness known as the Thaw. Soviet citizens took advantage of the new opportunities to meditate on the nation’s turbulent history, from the Bolshevik Revolution, to the Terror, to World War II. Perhaps the most influential of these conversations took place in and around Novyi mir (New World), the most respected literary journal in the country. In The Readers of Novyi Mir, Denis Kozlov shows how the dialogue between literature and readers during the Thaw transformed the intellectual life and political landscape of the Soviet Union. Powerful texts by writers like Solzhenitsyn, Pasternak, and Ehrenburg led thousands of Novyi mir’s readers to reassess their lives, entrenched beliefs, and dearly held values, and to confront the USSR’s history of political violence and social upheaval. And the readers spoke back. Victims and perpetrators alike wrote letters to the journal, reexamining their own actions and bearing witness to the tragedies of the previous decades. Kozlov’s insightful treatment of these confessions, found in Russian archives, and his careful reading of the major writings of the period force today’s readers to rethink common assumptions about how the Soviet people interpreted their country’s violent past. The letters reveal widespread awareness of the Terror and that literary discussion of its legacy was central to public life during the late Soviet decades. By tracing the intellectual journey of Novyi mir’s readers, Kozlov illuminates how minds change, even in a closed society.
