Modern irony, a flash of genius produced by Romantic theorists, is first discussed, e.g. in Hegel and Kierkegaard, as an ethical problem personified in figures such as the aesthete, the seducer, the flaneur, or the dandy. It fully develops in the novel, the modern genre par excellence: in novels of the early 19th century no less than in those of postmodernity or in those of the masters of citation, parody, and pastiche of classical modernism (Musil, Joyce, and Proust). This book, however, goes one step further. Looking at how such different authors as Schmitt, Kafka, and Rorty identify the political conflicts, contradictions, and paradoxes of the 20th century as ironical and offers a comprehensive account of the constitutive irony of modernity's ethical, poetical, and political logic. 410 0$aParadigms (Walter de Gruyter & Co.) ;$vVolume 3. 606 $aIrony in literature 606 $aIrony 606 $aModernism (Literature) 610 $aIrony. 610 $amodernity. 610 $apoetics. 610 $apolitics. 615 0$aIrony in literature. 615 0$aIrony. 615 0$aModernism (Literature) 676 $a809.918 686 $aEC 3935$2rvk 700 $aAvanessian$b Armen$01594741 702 $aSchott$b Nils F. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812987803321 996 $aIrony and the logic of modernity$94018613 997 $aUNINA
