  • More about New Ecological Realisms: Post-Apocalyptic Fiction and Contemporary Theory


Monika Kaup connects post-apocalyptic novels with new realist theories to offer a context-based concept of the real, challenging constructivism and positivism.

Format: Hardback
Length: 352 pages
Publication date: 31 May 2021
Publisher: Edinburgh University Press


Monika Kaup's work combines post-apocalyptic novels by Margaret Atwood, Jos Saramago, Octavia Butler, and Cormac McCarthy with new realist theories from Bruno Latour, Humberto Maturana, Francisco Varela, Markus Gabriel, Jean-Luc Marion, and Alphonso Lingis. She demonstrates that post-apocalyptic literature can shed light on new theories of the real, just as new realist theory can illuminate post-apocalyptic literature. Kaup presents a context-based concept of the real, arguing that new realisms of complex and embedded wholes, actor-networks, and ecologies, rather than the old realisms of isolated parts and things, offer the most promising escape from the impasses of constructivism and positivism.
