系列：人文学科沃里克系列
如果“事件”是我们为那些本质上无法衡量或不可想象的重大变化、危机、转变和破裂保留的专有名称，那么本书试图在这些事件之间建立一种遭遇，因为它们与文学作品和阅读文学作品有关。
随着本次活动继续为文学和批评理论的新分支学科（包括近距离阅读、生物政治、世界文学和生态批评）内开展的工作提供有价值的分析范式，本卷将齐心协力更新这一领域的学术，并展望最近对这一概念的兴趣复苏。这本书既回顾了事件对文学研究和文学人文学科的意义，也对其进行了当代和前瞻性的评估，因此对文学理论、比较文学和哲学美学领域的学者和指导者都有吸引力。
除了专注于德里达、巴迪亚、德勒兹和马拉布等思想家之外，这本书中的论文还阅读了大量文学作品，从汉康、荷马、蕾妮·格拉德曼、普鲁斯特和福楼拜到约鲁巴语表意词、布朗宁、安·卡森、大江健一郎和本·勒纳。
Literature and Event: Twenty-First Century Reformulations
Series: Warwick Series in the Humanities
If ‘event’ is a proper name we reserve for monumental changes, crises, transitions and ruptures that are by their very nature unnameable or unthinkable, then this volume is an attempt to set up an encounter between such eventhood as it comes to have a bearing on literary works and the work of reading literature.
As the event continues to provide a valuable analytical paradigm for work undertaken within the newer sub-disciplines of literary and critical theory, including close reading, bio-politics, world literature, and eco-criticism, this volume makes a concerted effort to update the scholarship in this area and foreground the recent resurgence of interest in the concept. The book provides both a retrospective appraisal of the significance of events to literary studies and the literary humanities, as well as contemporary and prospective appraisals of the same, and thus would appeal scholars and instructors in the areas of literary theory, comparative literature and philosophical aesthetics alike.
Along with a specialist focus on thinkers such as Derrida, Badiou, Deleuze and Malabou, the essays in volume read a wide corpus of literature ranging from Han Kang, Homer, Renee Gladman, Proust and Flaubert to Yoruba ideophones, Browning, Anne Carson, Jenichiro Oyabe and Ben Lerner.
