She shows that, just as new realist theory can illuminate post-apocalyptic literature, post-apocalyptic literature can illuminate new theories of the real. Kaup showcases a context-based concept of the real. She argues that new realisms of complex and embedded wholes, actor-networks and ecologies- not the old realisms of isolated parts and things - represent the most promising escape from the impasses of constructivism and positivism.Release Year: 2021 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
