Deleuze and the Postcolonial Politics of Magical Realism -- Conclusion -- Bibliography -- Index 330 8 $aSince the success of Gabriel Garci?a Ma?rquez's 1967 novel One Hundred Years of Solitude, and the following Latin American literary 'boom' of the late sixties and seventies, magical realism has had a steady following, an international influence and become established as a literary genre. Yet its definition has remained vague. Through the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze, this study rethinks magical realism, making an argument for using Deleuzian readings of literature in general while dealing with the implications of a new approach for prevalent postcolonial studies in particular. With One Hundred Years of Solitude used as a model, Eva Aldea takes a Deleuzian approach to major anglophone works by Rushdie, Okri, Morrison, and Ghosh. She shows how the power of magical realism lies not, as is commonly held, in its subversion of the real and the magical, but in allowing the two to remain radically different and yet indiscernible at the same time, challenging existing readings of the genre 410 0$aContinuum literary studies. 606 $aMagic realism (Literature) 606 $2Literary studies: post-colonial literature 606 $aFiction$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aCommonwealth fiction (English)$xHistory and criticism 606 $aPostcolonialism in literature 606 $aLiterature$xPhilosophy 615 0$aMagic realism (Literature) 615 0$aFiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aCommonwealth fiction (English)$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aPostcolonialism in literature. 615 0$aLiterature$xPhilosophy. 676 $a809/.915 700 $aAldea$b Eva$0917468 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459634203321 996 $aMagical realism and Deleuze$92057115 997 $aUNINA
