Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. In Doom Patterns, Maia GilAdI takes up speculative fiction as a site for theorizing Latinx identity across national and ethnic borders and shows the vital role of historical trauma in its formation. Her analysis moves beyond reparative modes of reading to consider how literary representations of violence, destruction, and pain also elicit pleasurable affective and aesthetic experiences. GilAdI theorizes the paradox of pleasurable violence through the notion of doom patterns-narrative devices that include thematic repetition, nonlinear narration, character fragmentation, and unresolved plots. Doom patterns return the reader to instances of historical violence and destruction, revealing them as excessive and otherworldly processes that require the tropes of speculative fiction. Examining novels by established Latinx authors such as Junot DIaz and Cristina GarcIa as well as multiethnic writers such as Colson Whitehead and Sesshu Foster, GilAdI challenges definitions of what constitutes Latinx literature and notions of the speculative by dismantling generic boundaries and entrenched definitions of race, ethnicity, and nationhood. In so doing, she allows for a more capacious consideration of the speculative, realism, history, and the role of violence in literature. Maia GilAdi takes up Latinx and Latinx-adjacent speculative fiction as a site for theorizing Latinx identity across national and ethnic borders as it is informed by historical trauma. In so doing, she allows for a more capacious consideration of the speculative, realism, history, and the role of violence in literature. This item is printed on demand.
