Paul Virilio’s dromology and the postmodern city in Don DeLillo’s Cosmopolis
Don DeLillo’s Cosmopolis (2003) portrays, among other things, New York as a postmodern city. DeLillo’s fiction above all probes how contemporary American consciousness is largely shaped by the incursion of technology into daily life. In DeLillo’s novels, technology figures as largely determining the possibilities of action and influencing the very nature of perception. As such, we argue, Cosmopolis could be read rewardingly through Paul Virilio’s…
Toilet humour and ecology on the first page of Finnegans Wake: Žižek’s call of nature, answered by Joyce
This article draws out ecological aspects convergent on the first page of James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake (1939) and explores them through the philosopher Slavoj Žižek’s theoretical perspectives on humanity today and its relation to the waste and chaos that underpins the state of nature that it is reliant on; that is, in relation to the Lacanian category of the Real. It does so in an attempt to bring together Joyce and Žižek (who has tended to rejec…

Narrative analysis in Fiction and Film has attracted narratologists’ research interest since the last part of the twentieth century. It has focused on the renderability of narrative in these two different media and established features of similarity and difference for the rendition of the same narrative. From that perspective, this paper aims to compare the degree of demand for inference in narrative processing between fiction narrative and film …
Introduction: A Motto for Moral Diplomacy
Only connect ...," the epigraph of Forster's Howards End, offers itself as a model of moral diplomacy. The efficacy of genuine human connection-whether it takes the form of creative action or of decent human relations-in containing and civilizing force is an idea that informs the novel's conception of what constitutes and ensures civilized life. Forster regarded propriety and convention as expressions of force and so applauded any assault on conv…

Modernism and Autobiography
This volume offers sixteen original essays that attest to the extraordinary inventiveness and range of modernist autobiography. It examines the ways modernist writers chose to tell their life stories, with particular attention to forms, venues, modes of address, and degrees of truthfulness. The essays are grouped around a set of rubrics that isolate the distinctive character and shared preoccupations of modernist life-writings: questions of ances…
