Mourning, Modernism, Postmodernism illuminates the emergence of a fundamentally new way of thinking and writing about loss in the twentieth-century novel, one that spurns consolation and the conventional aim of closure. Inaugurated in the modernist novel, the rejection of consolation manages to promote a politically progressive politics of mourning. The modernist novel established as well the terms of a new mourning practice, terms whose democratizing aims would be challenged in the late-modernist period but ultimately reanimated and reworked by postmodern writers. In challenging the familiar view of modernist aesthetics as removed from social concerns and of postmodernist aesthetics as a self-reflexive language game incapable of representing affirmative content, Mourning, Modernism, Postmodernism demonstrates how novelists of some of the most experimental fiction of the century engage the open-ended aspects of loss to imagine new forms of identity and social change.

This book treats postmodernism in its own terms, regarding it as a phenomenon which both represents a contemporary moment and also looks toward its own transcendence, passing away, disappearance. The book's critical range extends from the Gothic through to the most recent harbingers of modernity, and describes a trajectory that will take account of recent fiction/poetry and point readers to the development that will textualize into the 21st century.

Late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century theorists such as Freud, Durkheim, Weber, and Marx built their intellectual edifices on what they thought would be the remains or ruins of religion in the wake of modernization. But today the decline and disappearance of religion can no longer be simply assumed. In the face of contemporary entanglements of religion and violence, the establishment of meaning and morality remains troubling; the experience of loss and change remains, paradoxically, constant; and new theoretical perspectives--feminism, race studies, postcolonial studies, queer studies, postmodernism--have emerged, challenging the works that mourned religion and created meaning in earlier periods. The effects of this ongoing experience of mourning and symbolic loss on culture, on subjectivity, and on the academic disciplines of religious studies, though immense, are poorly understood and underinterpreted. In order to correct this lacuna in scholarly thought, this volume brings together a notable group of scholars who examine the ways in which recent cultural transformations inform the place of religion in the modern world. Methodologically, they represent the intersection of religious studies and the social scientific study of religion, bringing the disciplines of psychology, sociology, and anthropology into this dialogue.

Postmodern Ethics offers a new perspective on debates surrounding the role of the intellectual in Italian society, and provides an original reading of two important Italian contemporary writers, Leonardo Sciascia and Antonio Tabucchi. It examines the ways in which the two writers use literature to engage with their socio-political environment in a climate informed by the doubts and scepticism of postmodernism, after traditional forms of impegno had been abandoned. Postmodern Ethics explores ways in which Tabucchi and Sciascia further their engagement through embracing the very factors which problematized traditional committed writing, such as the absence of fixed truths, the inability of language to fully communicate ideas and intertextuality. Postmodern Ethics provides an innovative new reading of Tabucchiâ (TM)s works. It challenges the standard view in critical literature that his writing may be divided into â ~engagedâ (TM) texts which dialogue with society and â ~postmodernâ (TM) texts which focus on literary interiority, suggesting instead that socio-political engagement underpins all of his works. It also offers a new lens on Sciasciaâ (TM)s writing, unpacking why Sciascia, unlike his contemporaries, is able to maintain a belief in literature as a means of dialoguing with society. Postmodern Ethics explores the ways in which Tabucchi and Sciascia approach issues of terrorism, justice, the anti-mafia movement, immigration and the value of reading in connected yet distinct ways, suggesting that a close genealogy may be drawn between these two key intellectual figures.
