Paperback. Zustand: New. The zombie has cropped up in many forms-in film, in television, and as a cultural phenomenon in zombie walks and zombie awareness months-but few books have looked at what the zombie means in fiction. Tim Lanzendörfer fills this gap by looking at a number of zombie novels, short stories, and comics, and probing what the zombie represents in contemporary literature. Lanzendörfer brings together the most recent critical discussion of zombies and applies it to a selection of key texts including Max Brooks's World War Z, Colson Whitehead's Zone One, Junot Díaz's short story ""Monstro, "" Robert Kirkman's comic series The Walking Dead, and Seth Grahame-Smith's Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Within the context of broader literary culture, Lanzendörfer makes the case for reading these texts with care and openness in their own right. Lanzendörfer contends that what zombies do is less important than what becomes possible when they are around. Indeed, they seem less interesting as metaphors for the various ways the world could end than they do as vehicles for how the world might exist in a different and often better form. …

Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. What are the consequences of generative AI for everyday literary studies? In this short monograph, Tim Lanzendoerfer contends that genAIs challenge to literary studies is both fundamental and productive: it not only confronts us with our own possible demise as a discipline, it also requires us to reflect on what we do, how we do it, and why. The book is a generative provocation and a thought experiment. It begins by reflecting on the questions raised by the potential to stochastically generate art and literature. It asks after the status of art in the age of genAI, including questions such as the prevalent belief in the need for human agency in the making of art, and issues of quality and originality. And then, it wonders what these discussions mean for literary studies, and most specifically, for literary criticism, for the work of interpretation. What would it mean to work on stochastic genAI artbut more importantly, what would it mean for our work on art to be doable by stochastic genAI? What can we think about when we think about the potential replaceability of human-made literary studies by genAI? What are the consequences of generative AI for everyday literary studies? And then, it wonders what these discussions mean for literary studies, and most specifically, for literary criticism, for the work of interpretation.

Paperback. Zustand: New. This book brings together essays that ask how one may chart more productive engagements with the methodological foundations of literary studies, a discipline that is finding itself in a moment of severe crisis. The temptation to reduce methodological debates to method wars constitutes one of the main obstacles for what ought to be the common goal of our discipline: to articulate the possible and indeed necessary futures of literary studies.How do we think about the future of literary studies in the funerary climate that has engendered the belief that we need to fight our internal wars for survival? How might (must?) our understanding of what literary criticism is and does change? How do we formulate possible futures for literary studies while grappling with the significant problems that our present poses? The chapters in this volume stage hopeful interventions that seek to contribute to the effort to explore the futures of literary studies by way of and conceived as a collective endeavor. Together, the authors advance a call for better, more useful, more active, more networked, and, yes, even for abandoned versions of the always multiple and joyously contradictory discipline that is called literary studies.This book will be beneficial to students and scholars of English literature, literary theory and literary studies. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Textual Practice and are accompanied by a new Preface.…
