| Zusammenfassung: | "How does contemporary literature contend with the power and responsibility of authorship, particularly when considering marginalized groups? How have the works of multiethnic authors challenged the notion that writing and authorship are neutral or universal? In Necessary Fictions, Leah Milne offers a new and original way to look at multicultural literature by focusing on scenes of writing in the contemporary works of authors of marginalized identities. These scenes, she argues, establish authorship as a form of radical self-care-a term we owe to Audre Lorde, who defines self-care as self-preservation and "an act of political warfare." In engaging in this battle, the works discussed in this study confront limitations on ethnicity and nationality wrought by the institutionalization of multiculturalism. They also focus on identities whose mere presence on the cultural landscape is often perceived as vindictive or willful. Analyzing recent texts by Carmen Maria Machado, Louise Erdrich, Ruth Ozeki, Toni Morrison, and more, Milne connects works across cultures and nationalities in search of reasons for this recent trend of depicting writers as characters in multicultural texts. Her exploration uncovers fiction and memoir that embrace unacceptable or marginalized modes of storytelling-such as plagiarism, historical revisions, jokes, and lies-as well as inauthentic, invisible, and unexceptional subjects. These works ultimately reveal a shared goal of expanding the borders of belonging in ethnic and cultural groups, and thus add to the ever-evolving conversations surrounding both multicultural literature and self-care"-- |

In engaging in this battle, the works discussed in this study confront limitations on ethnicity and nationality wrought by the institutionalization of multiculturalism. They also focus on identities whose mere presence on the cultural landscape is often perceived as vindictive or willful. Analyzing recent texts by Carmen Maria Machado, Louise Erdrich, Ruth Ozeki, Toni Morrison, and more, Milne connects works across cultures and nationalities in search of reasons for this recent trend of depicting writers as characters in multicultural texts. Her exploration uncovers fiction and memoir that embrace unacceptable or marginalized modes of storytelling-such as plagiarism, historical revisions, jokes, and lies-as well as inauthentic, invisible, and unexceptional subjects. These works ultimately reveal a shared goal of expanding the borders of belonging in ethnic and cultural groups, and thus add to the ever-evolving conversations surrounding both multicultural literature and self-care"-- Amerikanisches Englisch (DE-588)4094804-3 gnd rswk-swf Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 gnd rswk-swf Autor (DE-588)4003982-1 gnd rswk-swf Nationalität Motiv (DE-588)4471054-9 gnd rswk-swf Minderheit (DE-588)4752223-9 gnd rswk-swf Identität Motiv (DE-588)4311101-4 gnd rswk-swf Ethnizität Motiv (DE-588)4438896-2 gnd rswk-swf Multikulturelle Gesellschaft (DE-588)4214151-5 gnd rswk-swf American fiction / Minority authors / History and criticism American fiction / 20th century / History and criticism American fiction / 21st century / History and criticism Fiction / Technique Authors in literature Group identity in literature Multiculturalism in literature Ethnicity in literature American fiction American fiction / Minority authors 1900-2099 Criticism, interpretation, etc Amerikanisches Englisch (DE-588)4094804-3 s Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 s Autor (DE-588)4003982-1 s Minderheit (DE-588)4752223-9 s Multikulturelle Gesellschaft (DE-588)4214151-5 s Ethnizität Motiv (DE-588)4438896-2 s Nationalität Motiv (DE-588)4471054-9 s Identität Motiv (DE-588)4311101-4 s DE-604 Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe, ebk. 978-1-60938-763-1 (DE-604)BV049069415 Digitalisierung UB Bamberg - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=032787417&sequence=000001&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Inhaltsverzeichnis |
