- W2346340059 abstract "The notion that we have entered a global age of human relations has been thedriving force behind many of the most persuasive cultural inquiries published overthe last few decades, including fictional ones, into the conditions of contemporaryexistence, perhaps the most prominent of these being Michael Hardt and AntonioNegri's Empire (2000). In the era of mass migrations, proliferating mediatechnologies and the deterritorialised movements of labour and capital, it hasbecome increasingly necessary to speak of identity and citizenship in terms of'flows', 'routes' and 'networks' that cut across the traditional boundaries of thenation-state. Though it is through various cultural productions that suchtransformations are at once performed, symbolised and comprehended, discussionsabout how these changes have impacted on modes of literary representation havelargely been framed by the older discourses of postmodernism and postcolonialism,which anticipate present circumstances while arguably offering rather limitedperspectives on them.This text-focused thesis explores in detail the narrative strategies andthematic concerns of three British writers who have risen to prominence since 1990- Lawrence Norfolk, Hari Kunzru and David Mitchell - whose work announcesliterary developments that may be attributed to the fluidity and multiplicity ofmillennial relations and the phenomenon of globalisation. Informed by broaderdebates about multinational capitalism, transnational culture, and the emergenceof new cybernetic infrastructures, this research argues that recent novels such asLempri6re's Dictionary (Lawrence Norfolk), Transmission (Hari Kunzru) andGhostwritten (David Mitchell) demonstrate an aesthetic consciousness of newpatterns of human Interaction and geo-historical interconnectedness that issubstantially different from the conceptual coordinates mapped in the fictions of aprevious generation. The work of these three important authors has yet to enterfully into the mainstream of critical discussion, and the present study represents thefirst sustained critical contextualisation of their fiction. Following an introductory chapter that, firstly, provides a wide-ranging analysis of globalisation understood asa constellation of multidimensional processes and, secondly, considers how thesematerial transformations articulated themselves in the cultural context of Britain inthe 1980s and '90's, this thesis engages in close readings of the selected authors'complex fictions over three extensive chapters." @default.
