Description

Through a broad-ranging survey of the allegory, utopia, the historical novel and the epic in post-colonial literature, Jean-Pierre Durix proposes a critical reassessment of the theory of genres. He argues that in the new literatures, which are often rooted in hybrid aesthetics, the often decried mimesis must be viewed from a completely different angle. Analyzing texts by Gabriel García Márquez, Salman Rushdie, Alejo Carpentier, Wilson Harris and Edouard Glissant, he pleads for the redefinition of "magic realism" if the term is to retain generic relevance.
