- The book makes a distinct conceptual contribution to understanding how literary and philosophical expositions of the concept of aporia contribute to new thinking on human subjectivity. Spanning 100,000 words, the monograph is the culmination of a decade of research, including archival consultation in London, Reading, Paris and Dublin. It connects multiple disciplinary discourses (analytic and continental philosophy, theatre studies, French, English and Irish literature) to provide an authoritative exposition on contemporary questions of the origin, materiality and legitimacy of the voice in literature, with significant implications for new thinking on information economies and social media identities.
