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. . 410 0$aNew Directions in Irish and Irish American Literature,$x2731-3190 606 $aEuropean literature 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y20th century 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y21st century 606 $aFiction 606 $aLiterature 606 $aEuropean Literature 606 $aContemporary Literature 606 $aTwentieth-Century Literature 606 $aFiction Literature 606 $aWorld Literature 615 0$aEuropean literature. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aFiction. 615 0$aLiterature. 615 14$aEuropean Literature. 615 24$aContemporary Literature. 615 24$aTwentieth-Century Literature. 615 24$aFiction Literature. 615 24$aWorld Literature. 676 $a809.41 700 $aHeidemann$b Birte$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01039655 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255227103321 996 $aPost-Agreement Northern Irish Literature$92505209 997 $aUNINA
