Literary, Cultural and Political Essays, 2009–2021
Author:
Crisis and Criticism is a series of interventions from 2009 to 2021 engaging with the literary, cultural and political responses to the capitalist crisis of 2007–8. Challenging the tendency to treat crisis as natural and beyond human control, this book interrogates our cultural understanding of crisis and suggests the necessity of ruthless criticism of the existing world. While responses to crisis have retreated from the critical, choosing to inhabit apocalyptic fantasies instead, only a critical understanding of the causes of crisis within capitalism itself can promise their eventual overcoming.

« J’écris avec la géographie » explique Maylis de Kerangal, ou avec les géographies a-t-on envie d’ajouter, tant ses textes explorent les divers aspects de cette discipline en s’attachant aussi bien à la beauté des espaces qu’à la manière de les habiter. Cette première étude monographique consacrée à l’œuvre montre que les lieux construisent la narration, influencent l’écriture et permettent à l’esthétique et à l’éthique de se joindre en une « poéthique » qui exalte le monde et sublime les personnages dans des socio-épopées d’une grande puissance narrative.
