While many critics propose that the Gothic has been exhausted, and that its significance is depleted by consumer society?s obsession with instantaneous horror, analyses of a number of terror-based postmodernist novels here suggest that the Gothic is still very much animated in Gothic-postmodernism. These analyses observe the spectral characters, doppelgangers , hellish waste lands and the demonised or possessed that inhabit texts such as Paul Auster?s City of Glass , Salman Rushdie?s The Satanic Verses and Bret Easton Ellis?s Lunar Park . However, it is the deeper issue of the lingering emotion of terror as it relates to loss of reality and self, and to death, that is central to the study; a notion of ?terror? formulated from the theories of continental philosophers and contemporary cultural theorists. With a firm emphasis on the sublime and the unrepresentable as fundamental to this experience of terror; vital to the Gothic genre; and central to the postmodern experience, this study offers an insightful and concise definition of Gothic-postmodernism. It firmly argues that ?terror? (with all that it involves) remains a connecting and potent link between the Gothic and postmodernism: two modes of literature that together offer a unique voicing of the unspeakable terrors of postmodernity. 410 0$aPostmodern studies ;$v43. 606 $aGothic fiction (Literary genre) 606 $aTerror in literature 606 $aPostmodernism 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aGothic fiction (Literary genre) 615 0$aTerror in literature. 615 0$aPostmodernism. 676 $a809.9113 700 $aBeville$b Maria$0913249 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455406503321 996 $aGothic-postmodernism$92045797 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05638nam 2200697Ia 450 001 9910784570703321 005 20230120004539.0 010 $a1-281-02720-0 010 $a9786611027209 010 $a0-08-050072-2 035 $a(CKB)1000000000363904 035 $a(EBL)300590 035 $a(OCoLC)476078316 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000117736 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11991698 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000117736 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10048360 035 $a(PQKB)11294888 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC300590 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000363904 100 $a19960221d1996 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aCarbon dioxide, populations, and communities$b[electronic resource] /$fedited by Christian Ko?rner, Fakhri A.

Among the many predictions made concerning this disturbing trend is global warming sufficient to melt polar ice-caps thereby dramatically altering existing shorelines. This book will help fill an obvious gap in the carbon dioxide debate by substituting date for speculation.* * Includes contributions from leading authorities around the world* Serves as a companion to Carbon Dioxide and Terrestrial Ecosystems* The first bo 410 0$aPhysiological ecology. 606 $aPlants$xEffect of atmospheric carbon dioxide on 606 $aAtmospheric carbon dioxide$xEnvironmental aspects 606 $aPlant communities 606 $aPlant ecophysiology 615 0$aPlants$xEffect of atmospheric carbon dioxide on. 615 0$aAtmospheric carbon dioxide$xEnvironmental aspects. 615 0$aPlant communities. 615 0$aPlant ecophysiology. 676 $a574.5222 676 $a581.5/222 20 676 $a581.5222 701 $aKo?rner$b Christian$f1949-$01214151 701 $aBazzaz$b F.
