In Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's novel Americanah and Lesley Nneka Arimah's short story \"Windfalls,\" characters find themselves occupying the economic peripheries of contemporary capitalism, oscillating between waged and unwaged work, formal and informal employment. As this essay demonstrates, the mechanisms of narrative peripheralization that these characters contend with also function as a means of maintaining an Anglophone, neoliberal, and value-producing vision of the African continent.","PeriodicalId":45576,"journal":{"name":"MFS-Modern Fiction Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89976773","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the disastrous consequences of the Great Leap Forward have shown that the advocation of selfless labor needs boundaries. Labor has been depoliticized and commodified since the post-Mao reforms. Migrant workers' literature acts as a form of cultural resistance to the alienation of labor in postsocialist China under global capitalism.","PeriodicalId":45576,"journal":{"name":"MFS-Modern Fiction Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79071921","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The understanding of the relationships between such transition and literary form, and the periodizing schemas employed to make sense of them, has largely been limited to heartlands of accumulation in Western Europe and North America. Much less has been written about how literatures from the rest of the world have expressed transitions to and within this global, if internally variegated and uneven, system. This introduction asks how literature from the world's peripheries and semiperipheries have written the history of capitalism.","PeriodicalId":45576,"journal":{"name":"MFS-Modern Fiction Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81475941","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Underworld integrates its complex narrative structure with an experimental spatial perspective that shifts from horizontal to vertical, thereby effectively destabilizing humanity’s position within history and revealing its entanglement with the planet. DeLillo adopts this perspectival approach from land art, specifically the work of Robert Smithson. The novel’s own visual artist, Klara Sax, embodies this aesthetics.","PeriodicalId":45576,"journal":{"name":"MFS-Modern Fiction Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90495119","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In a writing career that stretched over half a century, from the 1930s to the 1980s, Greene addressed and articulated in fiction and journalism how flight altered and disrupted experiences and perceptions of time and space, both for those borne aloft and for those who remained grounded. In Greene’s works, the aeroplane emerges as a vehicle with the power to unsettle historiographical and geographical norms.","PeriodicalId":45576,"journal":{"name":"MFS-Modern Fiction Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85419491","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using Adorno’s theory of substantial formalism to analyze Crossings (1968), a little-known Asian American novel, this essay shows that rather than being just adjectives describing the expressive qualities of a text or tropes describing its particular theoretical maneuvers, terms such as opaque, non-linear, fragmented, discordant, or dissonant are aesthetic concepts that exert political import through form.","PeriodicalId":45576,"journal":{"name":"MFS-Modern Fiction Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86333573","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
