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. 606 $aAesthetics$xPhilosophy 610 $aaesthetics. 610 $aalterity. 610 $acontemporary fiction. 610 $aethics. 610 $afictional characters. 610 $aliterary history. 610 $amodernism. 610 $anarrative. 610 $anovel. 610 $aotherness. 615 0$aAesthetics$xPhilosophy. 676 $a111.85 700 $aHale$b Dorothy J.$0824997 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910794320303321 996 $aNovel and the new ethics$91835107 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03211nam 2200733Ia 450 001 9910778453603321 005 20230721022955.0 010 $a0-674-04212-3 024 7 $a10.4159/9780674042124 035 $a(CKB)1000000000805582 035 $a(OCoLC)456276613 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebrary10318531 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000161314 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11163088 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000161314 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10191030 035 $a(PQKB)10257655 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3300534 035 $a(DE-B1597)457734 035 $a(OCoLC)1013954096 035 $a(OCoLC)1029819685 035 $a(OCoLC)1032690457 035 $a(OCoLC)1037981461 035 $a(OCoLC)1042034731 035 $a(OCoLC)1046605271 035 $a(OCoLC)1047007519 035 $a(OCoLC)979683503 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780674042124 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3300534 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10318531 035 $a(OCoLC)923111690 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000805582 100 $a20060516d2007 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aGene sharing and evolution$b[electronic resource] $ethe diversity of protein functions /$fJoram Piatigorsky 210 $aCambridge, Mass. $cHarvard University Press$d2007 215 $a1 online resource (337 p.) 300 $aBibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph 311 $a0-674-02341-2 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references (p. 241-305) and index. 327 $tFrontmatter -- $tContents -- $tIllustrations -- $tPreface -- $t1.
