Description

From Virginia Woolf to David Foster Wallace and beyond, 'redemptive hybridism' a new way of reading texts full of possibility and genre blending emerges as a key trajectory for post-postmodernity. Tasha Haines investigates what she calls "redemptive hybridism" in post-postmodern writing, a paradigmatic shift characterized by possibility. In the textual production of the 21st century, Haines argues, postmodern elitism gives way to the reparative blending of high-low forms and genre collaborations. This shift invokes both intellect and soul in the act of challenging and extending the relationship between the writer, the written material, the reader and their context. By combining an innovative literary investigation with creative, auto-theoretical strategies, Haines connects with readers as she offers valuable new interpretations of texts belonging to the modernisms continuum from the novelistic and essayistic writing of Virginia Woolf to the paratextual fiction writing of David Foster Wallace, and in between Nathalie Sarraute, douard Lev and Maggie Nelson. She responds to the hybrid-and-creative theories of Deleuze and Guattari, Hassan and many others for whom form, style and content are fluid, overlapped or collaborative. And she arrives at a new way of viewing works that exemplify the liminal space of possibility, self-expression, restoration and genre blending that is Redemptive Hybridism in Post-Postmodern Writing.
