{"product_id":"new-ecological-realisms-monika-kaup-9781474483094","title":"New Ecological Realisms: Post-Apocalyptic Fiction and Contemporary Theory","description":"\u003cp\u003eMonika Kaup pairs post-apocalyptic novels by Margaret Atwood, José Saramago, Octavia Butler and Cormac McCarthy with new realist theories from Bruno Latour, Humberto Maturana, Francisco Varela, Markus Gabriel, Jean-Luc Marion and Alphonso Lingis. She shows that, just as new realist theory can illuminate post-apocalyptic literature, post-apocalyptic literature can illuminate new theories of the real. Kaup showcases a context-based concept of the real. She argues that new realisms of complex and embedded wholes, actor-networks and ecologies - not the old realisms of isolated parts and things - represent the most promising escape from the impasses of constructivism and positivism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Monika Kaup\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474483097\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474483094\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/21\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.81d","brand":"Monika Kaup","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136661893375,"sku":"9781474483094","price":160.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_97d9ea75-9956-4482-aeb0-d39a1dc720ed.jpg?v=1770164031","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/new-ecological-realisms-monika-kaup-9781474483094","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
