The How is the What: Constellations of the Post ethnic Literary This study has explored the epistemological conditions --Works Cited --IndexThe book explores the discursive and theoretical conditions for conceptualizing the postethnic literary. It historicizes US multicultural and postcolonial studies as institutionalized discursive formations, which constitute a paratext that regulates the reception of literary texts according to the paradigm of representativeness. Rather than following that paradigm, the study offers an alternative framework by rereading contemporary literary texts for their investment in literary form. By means of self-reflective intermedial transpositions, the writings of Sherman Alexie, Chang-rae Lee, and Jamaica Kincaid insist upon a differentiation between the representation of cultural sign systems or subject positions and the dramatization of individual gestures of authorship. As such, they form a postethnic literary constellation, further probed in the epilogue of the study focused on Dave Eggers.Buchreihe der Anglia ;Volume 48.American literatureCriticism, TextualEthnic groups in literatureMulticulturalism in literatureParatextAuthorshipAuthorship.Contemporary Literature.Postcolonialism.American literatureCriticism, Textual.Ethnic groups in literature.Multiculturalism in literature.Paratext.Authorship.810.9/355HQ 7481rvkSedlmeier Florian1685650MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910825346803321The postethnic literary4057939UNINA
