Meaning of Contemporary Realism

Georg
Lukács
discussed
the power struggle of the Cold War made it all the more pressing for literary
writers to present concrete potentialities of individual character in novel
ways. Poivers of Possibility explores how American experimental writers since
the
1960s
have set about presenting exactly that whilst engaging with specific
issues of social power.
Г:
The book s five chapters cover a range of writers, literary genres, and political
issues including: Allen Ginsberg s anti-Vietnam War poems; LeRoi Jones/
Amiri
Baraka
and Black Power theatre; William S. Burroughs
s
novels and
the Space Programmes; Kathy Acker s fiction and Biopolitics; and Lyh
Hejinian, Language poetry, and the Cold War.
Each chapter examines how relations of character and social power were
widely discussed in terms or potentiality: Black Power groups, for example,
debated the revolutionary potential of African Americans, while advances
in the space programmes
¡ed
to speculation about the evolution of human
potential in space colonies. In considering how the literary writers engage
with such debates, Alex Houen also shows how each writer s approach entails
combining different meanings
oí
potential : possible as opposed to actual ;
a quantity of force ; a capacity or faculty ; and potency .
Such an approach can be characterized as a literary potentialism that
turns
literar)
possibilities (including experiments with style and form)
into an affective aesthetic force with which to combat or reorient the
effects of social power on people. Potentialism is not a literary movement,
Houen emphasizes, so much as a novel concept of literary practice^—
a concept that stands as a refreshing alternative to notions
oí
post¬
modernism and the postmodern avant-garde .
