Novel ontologies arise from states of
concern. They are efforts to establish
conceptual sites upon which a troubling
status quo can be criticized, countered,
and perhaps even redirected. This study
focuses on U .S.-American novels that
address specific socio-pol(ticaI develop-
ments of the post-9/1 1 era: a politics of
fear that mobilized support for war in
Iraq and Afghanistan, the global war on
terror, the extending reach of neoliberal
ideology and policy, and the augmenting
of state surveillance and security appa-
ratuses. The protagonists of these novels
lament the seeming futility of resisting
the status quo and hover in positions of
stasis. Such story-level themes are accom-
panied by formal displays of ambivalence
about how stories can and should be told.
This prompts a striving for orientation
in premises about being, existence, and
becoming — for new ontologies. Such
novels can be contextualized as part of a
broader ontological turn that has gained
traction in contemporary theory across
humanities disciplines in recent years.
There is a resurgence of ontological ques-
tions in both contemporary theory and,
as this work contends, this resurgence
can also be traced in literary expression.
This project illustrates the ways in which
theoretical and literary discourses are
engaged in implicit partnerships.
