While the novel is set in 2045, its narrative is an allegory for present-day global economic tensions between a recession-era US and a rising Asia. By reducing the novel's Japanese characters to premodern and postmodern Japanese tropes (the samurai and the hikikomori [shut-in]), Cline portrays Japan as an economic and technological threat that has been contained, and thus models a future in which American individualism wins out over Asian collectivism.","PeriodicalId":45576,"journal":{"name":"MFS-Modern Fiction Studies","volume":"75 1","pages":"201 - 218"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90678313","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}

Drawing on literary, political, and biological theorizations of the concept, I analyze the interaction between the parasite as narrative function and parasitism as social construction in \"The Hanging Girl,\" Hotel World, The Accidental, There But For The, Winter, and Spring. By examining the evolving role of this figure, I outline the gradual shift in Smith's poetics toward an ironic allegorical mode. In her recent novels, Smith uses cohabitation tropes to connect political satire with ecological paradigms, and targets failed mutualism as the ethical shortcoming of contemporary Britain.","PeriodicalId":45576,"journal":{"name":"MFS-Modern Fiction Studies","volume":"21 1","pages":"346 - 369"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82662893","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}

Deploying a Lukácsian materialist analysis attuned to literary and historical development, this essay shows—through asking fundamental questions regarding the relationship between literary production, oil, and global capitalism—how Munif is situated within the postcolonial alternative tradition. By delineating what can be described as an aesthetics of the oppressed, this essay offers a unique perspective on crucial issues such as labor exploitation, individual alienation, social inequality, and urban deprivation.","PeriodicalId":45576,"journal":{"name":"MFS-Modern Fiction Studies","volume":"18 1","pages":"22 - 42"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82494045","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}

It begins by discussing the novels' portrayal of the famine of 1769-73 and the Indigo Revolt, specific events from Bengal's colonial history. It then examines the novels' formal peculiarities to understand their mediation of Bengal's experience of transition. Arguing that the novels signal a crisis of praxis, the essay posits that how the texts each resolve this crisis illuminates a divergent conception of politics.","PeriodicalId":45576,"journal":{"name":"MFS-Modern Fiction Studies","volume":"46 1","pages":"43 - 63"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81611406","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}

This experience is most visible when the characters grapple with the various discourses that do and do not describe their everyday realities. Thematizing questions of scale—and internalizing the dialectic of tradition and modernity out of which they emerge—the forms of Irish modernism reflect on the world economic system that conditions them.","PeriodicalId":45576,"journal":{"name":"MFS-Modern Fiction Studies","volume":"8 1","pages":"64 - 87"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80883990","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}
