{"product_id":"aftermath-robert-kusek-9788323347187","title":"Aftermath: The Fall and the Rise After the Event","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhat happens in the wake of the event? Is the event's aftermath always characterised by the experience of disorder, fragmentation, and impermanence? Or, alternatively, can aftermath be seen as a new growth, a second crop of grass that can be sown and reaped and which gives rise to a new integrity, a new unity? The volume's twenty-three essays by scholars from Australia, France, Germany, India, Ireland, Luxembourg, New Zealand, Poland, Spain, and the United States re-visit the notion and representation of aftermath, understood here widely as a consequence\/result\/after-effect of a seminal event (to an individual, a community, society, regions or nations), and explore its transformative and life-changing characteristics. While acknowledging disastrous or catastrophic consequences of the event, \u003ci\u003eAftermath\u003c\/i\u003e argues in favour of recognising some rejuvenating potential of its after-effects. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eTopographies of (Post)Modernity: Studies in 20th and 21st Century Literature in English\u003c\/b\u003e is a bilingual, English-Polish book series dedicated to publishing original research on 20th and 21st century literature in English.
