Theories of incompleteness, uncertainty, and chaos are often mobilized in European and North American literary and philosophical texts as metaphors for the inadequacy of our epistemological tools to probe the world's complexity. However, in recent Argentine fiction, these generalizations are put to very different uses: to map out the potential for artistic creativity and regeneration in times of crisis. Page focuses on texts by contemporary Argentine writers Ricardo Piglia, Guillermo MartiŽnez and Marcelo Cohen, which draw on theories of formal systems, chaos, emergence, and complexity to counter proclamations of the end of philosophy or the exhaustion of literature in the postmodern era.This book makes a significant contribution to our understanding of how newness and creativity have been theorized, tracing often unexpected relationships between thinkers such as Nietzsche, Deleuze, and the Russian Formalists. It is also the first time that a major study in English has been published on the work of Marti?nez, Piglia, or Cohen. 410 0$aLatin American and Caribbean series ;$vno. 10. 606 $aArgentine literature$y20th century$xThemes, motives$xHistory and criticism 606 $aScience in literature 606 $aTechnology in literature 606 $aMathematics in literature 606 $aCreative ability in literature 606 $aRomanticism$zArgentina 606 $aFormalism (Literature)$zArgentina 615 0$aArgentine literature$xThemes, motives$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aScience in literature. 615 0$aTechnology in literature. 615 0$aMathematics in literature. 615 0$aCreative ability in literature. 615 0$aRomanticism 615 0$aFormalism (Literature) 676 $a860.9 700 $aPage$b Joanna$f1974-$0802434 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910791306703321 996 $aCreativity and science in contemporary Argentine literature$92675942 997 $aUNINA
