Klappentext zu „The Palgrave Handbook of Magical Realism in the Twenty-First Century “
The Palgrave Handbook of Magical Realism in the Twenty-First Century examines magical realism in literatures from around the globe. Featuring twenty-seven essays written by leading scholars, this anthology argues that literary expressions of magical realism proliferate globally in the twenty-first century due to travel and migrations, the shrinking of time and space, and the growing encroachment of human life on nature. In this global context, magical realism addresses twenty-first-century politics, aesthetics, identity, and social/national formations where contact between and within cultures has exponentially increased, altering how communities and nations imagine themselves. This text assembles a group of critics throughout the world-the Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Australia-who employ multiple theoretical approaches to examine the different ways magical realism in literature has transitioned to a global practice; thus, signaling a new stage in the history and development of the genre.

Pressezitat
"The Palgrave Handbook of Magical Realism in the Twenty- First Century, as an endeavor of monumental architectural complexity, offers a vast survey of the present state of the magical realist aesthetic on the global stage. ... The Palgrave Handbook of Magical Realism in the Twenty- First Century will prove indispensable and benchmark instruments for the scholars who seek to assess the evolution of a literary aesthetic prompting us to continuously question our perception of what constitutes the real." (Marc Maufort, Recherche littéraire - Literary Research, Vol. 37, 2021)
