Performing 'Progress': Post-Agreement Drama -- Diagnosing the Post-Agreement Period: A Literary Detour -- Notes -- Bibliography -- Index.This book uncovers a new genre of 'post-Agreement literature', consisting of a body of texts - fiction, poetry and drama - by Northern Irish writers who were born during the Troubles but published their work in the aftermath of the Good Friday Agreement. In an attempt to demarcate the literary-aesthetic parameters of the genre, the book proposes a selective revision of postcolonial theories on 'liminality' through a subset of concepts such as 'negative liminality', 'liminal suspension' and 'liminal permanence.' These conceptual interventions, as the readings demonstrate, help articulate how the Agreement's rhetorical negation of the sectarian past and its aggressive neoliberal campaign towards a 'progressive' future breed new forms of violence that produce liminally suspended subject positions. .New Directions in Irish and Irish American Literature,2731-3190European literatureLiterature, Modern20th centuryLiterature, Modern21st centuryFictionLiteratureEuropean LiteratureContemporary LiteratureTwentieth-Century LiteratureFiction LiteratureWorld LiteratureEuropean literature.Literature, ModernLiterature, ModernFiction.Literature.European Literature.Contemporary Literature.Twentieth-Century Literature.Fiction Literature.World Literature.809.41Heidemann Birteauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1039655BOOK9910255227103321Post-Agreement Northern Irish Literature2505209UNINA
