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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 664g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 165 x 245 x 25 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781474483094                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Monika Kaup","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44096243826938,"sku":"9781474483094","price":92.82,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/dac5b3003ebec88f0e9b66d62fd94958.jpg?v=1635823027","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/new-ecological-realisms-post-apocalyptic-fiction-and-contemporary-theory","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
