Dissatisfied with postmodernist parody and pastiche, a broad array of novelist-critics—including J.M. Coetzee, Toni Morrison, Zadie Smith, Gish Jen, Ian McEwan, and Jonathan Franzen—champion the novel as the literary genre most qualified to illuminate individual ethical action and decision-making within complex and diverse social worlds. Key to this contemporary vision of the novel's ethical power is the task of knowing and being responsible to people different from oneself, and so thoroughly have contemporary novelists devoted themselves to the ethics of otherness, that this ethics frequently sets the terms for plot, characterization, and theme. In The Novel and the New Ethics, literary critic Dorothy J. Hale investigates how the contemporary emphasis on literature's social relevance sparks a new ethical description of the novel's social value that is in fact rooted in the modernist notion of narrative form. This "new" ethics of the contemporary moment has its origin in the "new" idea of novelistic form that Henry James inaugurated and which was consolidated through the modernist narrative experiments and was developed over the course of the twentieth century. In Hale's reading, the art of the novel becomes defined with increasing explicitness as an aesthetics of alterity made visible as a formalist ethics. In fact, it is this commitment to otherness as a narrative act which has conferred on the genre an artistic intensity and richness that extends to the novel's every word.AestheticsPhilosophyaesthetics.alterity.contemporary fiction.ethics.fictional characters.literary history.modernism.narrative.novel.otherness.AestheticsPhilosophy.111.85Hale Dorothy J.824997MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910818150703321Novel and the new ethics1835107UNINA02019nas 2200601- 450 991089199760332120240111213018.02634-7229(DE-599)ZDB3079326-9(OCoLC)1302869634(CKB)5450000000345949(CONSER)--2023224213(EXLCZ)99545000000034594920220218a20209999 --- -engtxtrdacontentsndrdacontentnrdamediasrdamediancrdacarriersdrdacarrierInscription the journal of material text : theory, practice, historyYork :Information as Material, in partnership with Leeds Beckett University,2020-volumes color illustrations ;32 x 32 cmEach issue includes a 12" sound disc, a folded poster and other additional materials.2634-7210 PrintingPeriodicalsWriting and artPeriodicalsWriting materials and instrumentsPeriodicalsImprimeriePériodiquesÉcriture et artPériodiquesÉcritureMatériel et instrumentsPériodiquesPrintingfast(OCoLC)fst01076612Writing and artfast(OCoLC)fst01739525Writing materials and instrumentsfast(OCoLC)fst01181650Periodicals.fastperiodicals.aatPeriodicals.lcgftPériodiques.rvmgfPrintingWriting and artWriting materials and instrumentsImprimerieÉcriture et artÉcritureMatériel et instrumentsPrinting.Writing and art.Writing materials and instruments.800JOURNAL9910891997603321Inscription4230994UNINA
