9781640141667: The Politics of Transparency in Modern American Fiction: Fear, Secrecy, and Exposure

Synopsis

This volume takes its cue from the emerging field of transparency studies: recent scholarly work in sociology, political theory, and cultural studies that identifies a hegemonic rhetoric of transparency in public and political life. Literary studies has been notably absent from the field's debates. These essays redress this absence by drawing on authors ranging from Whitman, James, and Ellison to Pynchon, Morrison, and Eggers to argue that American literature complicates theoretical assumptions about transparency made in other disciplines. They also extend the discourse to issues that have been neglected, such as sexuality and race.
