The How is the What: Constellations of the Post ethnic Literary This study has explored the epistemological conditions --$tWorks Cited --$tIndex 330 $aThe book explores the discursive and theoretical conditions for conceptualizing the postethnic literary. It historicizes US multicultural and postcolonial studies as institutionalized discursive formations, which constitute a paratext that regulates the reception of literary texts according to the paradigm of representativeness. Rather than following that paradigm, the study offers an alternative framework by rereading contemporary literary texts for their investment in literary form. By means of self-reflective intermedial transpositions, the writings of Sherman Alexie, Chang-rae Lee, and Jamaica Kincaid insist upon a differentiation between the representation of cultural sign systems or subject positions and the dramatization of individual gestures of authorship. As such, they form a postethnic literary constellation, further probed in the epilogue of the study focused on Dave Eggers. 410 0$aBuchreihe der Anglia ;$vVolume 48. 606 $aAmerican literature$xCriticism, Textual 606 $aEthnic groups in literature 606 $aMulticulturalism in literature 606 $aParatext 606 $aAuthorship 610 $aAuthorship. 610 $aContemporary Literature. 610 $aPostcolonialism. 615 0$aAmerican literature$xCriticism, Textual. 615 0$aEthnic groups in literature. 615 0$aMulticulturalism in literature. 615 0$aParatext. 615 0$aAuthorship. 676 $a810.9/355 686 $aHQ 7481$2rvk 700 $aSedlmeier$b Florian$01685650 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825346803321 996 $aThe postethnic literary$94057939 997 $aUNINA
