She demonstrates that new realist theory can shed light on post-apocalyptic literature, while post-apocalyptic literature can also shed light on new theories of the real. 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 way out of the impasses of constructivism and positivism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 546g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 155 x 235 x 27 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781474483100\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Monika Kaup","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44096226066682,"sku":"9781474483100","price":23.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1646146288956_book.jpg?v=1646910156","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/new-ecological-realisms-postapocalyptic-fiction-and-contemporary-theory-9781474483100","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
