And yet, the trans-universal war between a band of peaceful ‘Horologists’ and predatory ‘soul-decanters’ demonstrates how fantasy fiction offers alternative perspectives not only for socio-cultural models of diversity and difference, but for cosmopolitical power struggles being played out at supranational levels.The Bone Clocks opens up subversive spaces through which to think about threats facing the twenty-first century, from migration and xenophobic nationalism to ecological degradation and planetary destruction. By imagining progressive interrelationships between human and supernatural entities, the novel gestures towards fantasy literature’s unique capacity to extend future discussions of cosmopolitanism in new and innovative directions. While the presence of cosmopolitan theory has received much critical attention in Mitchell’s earlier fiction, this article will suggest that the speculative nature of The Bone Clocks is important in demonstrating the concept’s continuing capacity to serve as a fantastical form of imaginative cultural protestation and social polemic.","PeriodicalId":272809,"journal":{"name":"C21 Literature: Journal of 21st-Century Writings","volume":"167 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133531573","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Schrödinger’s Cat Metalepsis and the Political Unwriting of the Postmodern Apocalypse in David Mitchell’s Recent Works Schrödinger的猫梦与大卫·米切尔近作中后现代启示录的政治书写

{"title":"Schrödinger’s Cat Metalepsis and the Political Unwriting of the Postmodern Apocalypse in David Mitchell’s Recent Works","authors":"Scott A. Dimovitz","doi":"10.16995/C21.50","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.16995/C21.50","url":null,"abstract":"In the beginning, David Mitchell’s early postmodern fictions staged the impossibility of rendering the End. In each of his first three novels, Mitchell creates eschatological narratives that lack the moment of destruction: Ghostwritten points elliptically to the coming comet that an artificial intelligence, Zookeeper, will allow to destroy the earth; number9dream ends in a chapter that literally lacks letters, leaving a stark blank page after a quasi-apocalyptic earthquake hits Tokyo; and Cloud Atlas frames the event of the apocalypse without ever depicting what actually caused the deadlanding of most of the planet and the obliteration of most of humanity. This deferral of representation points to a postmodern problematic in apocalyptic figuration, and for Mitchell’s work constitutes a lack at the center of representing the real, when that reality is its own annihilation. This essay considers how Mitchell’s more recent works’ development have retroactively extended, transformed, and undermined the significance of the earlier works’ figurations of postmodern apocalypses. The Bone Clocks (2014), Sunken Garden (2013), and From Me Flows What You Call Time (2016/2114) collapse the postmodern indeterminate eschatologies that Mitchell had established in the early works, like a literary quantum superposition collapse in the Schrodinger’s Cat thought experiment. The argument demonstrates how Mitchell’s recent works have denied the individual autonomy of the universes in each narrative, thereby establishing a retroactive Mitchellverse—a shared world that undoes the postmodern indeterminacy of the unfigured apocalyptic moment in favor of an increasingly didactic political critique of apoliticism in the face of apocalyptic climate change.","PeriodicalId":272809,"journal":{"name":"C21 Literature: Journal of 21st-Century Writings","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132283862","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
