Hyperglossia and the Novel: The Production of (Non) Space: Routledge Studies in Latin American and Iberian Literature

Autor Elidio La Torre Lagares
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 2 dec 2025
Hyperglossia and the Novel: The Production of (Non) Space theorizes hyperglossia as a critical threshold in literary, philosophical, and media discourse— an excessive, recursive textual force that resists closure, coherence, and containment. Drawing from Bakhtin, Derrida, Foucault, Glissant, and Morton, this work constructs an interdisciplinary topology where narrative is displaced by semiotic proliferation. Through readings of Tokarczuk, Bolaño, Braschi, Paz Soldán, and Condé, the book explores how post- narrative texts perform ontological saturation, linguistic instability, and hauntological displacement. Hyperglossia is not a mere excess of language; it is a dispositif, a mechanism of epistemic drift and resistance that destabilizes the relation between text, space, and subject. Engaging literary maximalism, posthumanism, colonial hauntings, and digital textuality, this book maps a poetics of rupture— a world where language spills into non- space and refuses the end. Rather than offering synthesis, it proposes a drift: a movement toward meaning that cannot be finalized, only continually reinscribed.

Descriere

A radical theorization of hyperglossia as a post-narrative condition, it explores how language, identity, and space collapse into recursive textual excess. It charts a poetics of uncontainable meaning, proposing hyperglossia as the dispositif of our saturated, spectral, and increasingly unreadable present.
