The Representation of the Relationship Between Center and Periphery in the Contemporary Novel (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781527516717)

This collection of essays offers a comparative perspective on different forms of representation of social hybridity in contemporary novels through various cultural and linguistic lenses. It explores the various subcategories of their interdependent relationships, including power and domination between hegemony and marginality. The book revolves around five axes: namely, writing strategies and reterritorialization; marginality and intermediary spaces; revisited urban spaces; when periphery becomes center; and the modality of confrontation and construction of identity.

It focuses on the identification and classification of spaces in order to understand their function in relation to the thematic strategy of the novel. Its main objective is identifying the textual representation of the challenge of center and periphery, as well as these conceptsâ (TM) role and significance in diegesis. Thus, new light is shed on the subject and on the contemporary novel as a whole.
