Description

Explore the evolving landscape of literary theory with Literature and Materialisms from Routledge. This academic text examines the new wave of materialisms and their direct impact on modern literary criticism. By mapping the connections between speculative realism, object-oriented philosophy, and vitalism, this book provides a clear framework for understanding contemporary thought. The text offers a detailed genealogy of materialisms, vitalisms, empiricisms, and realist approaches. It traces these intellectual movements from Heraclitus through to Badiou. Readers will gain insights into the work of influential thinkers including Lucretius, Spinoza, Marx, Althusser, Barad, Spivak, Deleuze, Bennett, and Harman. This volume investigates the relationships between literature and these shifting philosophical trends, making it a necessary resource for students and scholars interested in how materialist perspectives reshape our reading of texts. It provides the context needed to navigate the complex theories defining current academic discourse in the humanities.
