The Unexpected

Autor Mark Currie
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 17 ian 2013
The Frontiers of Theory Series Editor: Martin McQuillan This series brings together internationally respected figures to comment on and re-describe the state of theory in the twenty-first century. It takes stock of an ever-expanding field of knowledge and opens up possible new modes of inquiry within it, identifying new theoretical pathways, innovative thinking and productive motifs. The Unexpected: Narrative Temporality and the Philosophy of Surprise Mark Currie Explores the relationship between unexpected events in narrative and life Focusing on surprise, spontaneous eruption and the unforeseeable, The Unexpected argues that stories help us to reconcile what we expect with what we experience. Though narrative is often understood a recapitulation of past events, the book argues that the unexpected and the future anterior, a future that is already complete, are guiding ideas for new understandings of the reading process. It also points beyond that to some of the key temporal concepts of our epoch, of unpredictability, the event, the untimely and the messianic. The Unexpected is an important intervention in narratology and a striking general argument about the cultural significance of surprise. The enquiry is developed by a range of new readings in philosophy and theory, as well as of Sarah Waters's Fingersmith, Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go and Julian Barnes's The Sense of an Ending. Mark Currie is Professor of Contemporary Writing at Queen Mary, University of London. He is the author of Postmodern Narrative Theory (second edition 2011) Difference (2004) and About Time (2007).
