| Zusammenfassung: | Even though the literary trope of the flâneur has been proclaimed 'dead' on several occasions, it still proves particularly lively in contemporary Anglophone fiction. This study investigates how flânerie takes a belated 'ethical turn' in its more recent manifestations by negotiating models of ethical subjectivity. Drawing on Michel Foucault's writings on the 'aesthetics of existence' as well as Judith Butler's notion of precariousness as conditio humana, it establishes a link between post-sovereign models of subject formation and a paradoxical constellation of flânerie, which surfaces most prominently in the work of Walter Benjamin. By means of detailed readings of Ian McEwan's Saturday, Siri Hustvedt's The Blindfold, Teju Cole's Open City, Dionne Brand's What We All Long For and Robin Robertson's The Long Take, Or a Way to Lose More Slowly, this book traces how the ambivalence of flânerie and its textual representation produces ethical norms while at the same time propagating the value of difference by means of disrupting societal norms of sameness. Precarious Flânerie and the Ethics of the Self in Contemporary Anglophone Fiction thus shows that the flânerie text becomes a medium of ethical critique in post-postmodern times |

This study investigates how flânerie takes a belated 'ethical turn' in its more recent manifestations by negotiating models of ethical subjectivity. Drawing on Michel Foucault's writings on the 'aesthetics of existence' as well as Judith Butler's notion of precariousness as conditio humana, it establishes a link between post-sovereign models of subject formation and a paradoxical constellation of flânerie, which surfaces most prominently in the work of Walter Benjamin. By means of detailed readings of Ian McEwan's Saturday, Siri Hustvedt's The Blindfold, Teju Cole's Open City, Dionne Brand's What We All Long For and Robin Robertson's The Long Take, Or a Way to Lose More Slowly, this book traces how the ambivalence of flânerie and its textual representation produces ethical norms while at the same time propagating the value of difference by means of disrupting societal norms of sameness. Precarious Flânerie and the Ethics of the Self in Contemporary Anglophone Fiction thus shows that the flânerie text becomes a medium of ethical critique in post-postmodern times In English Geschichte 1990-2020 gnd rswk-swf Roman (DE-588)4050479-7 gnd rswk-swf Selbst Motiv (DE-588)4399198-1 gnd rswk-swf Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 gnd rswk-swf Flaneur Motiv (DE-588)4204242-2 gnd rswk-swf Englisch (DE-588)4014777-0 gnd rswk-swf (DE-588)4113937-9 Hochschulschrift gnd-content Englisch (DE-588)4014777-0 s Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 s Flaneur Motiv (DE-588)4204242-2 s Selbst Motiv (DE-588)4399198-1 s Geschichte 1990-2020 z DE-604 Roman (DE-588)4050479-7 s Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe 978-3-11-076747-6 Anglia Book Series Buchreihe der Anglia volume 76 (DE-604)BV042242129 76 https://doi.org/10.1515/9783110767490 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext |
