- This book offer a wide-ranging critical, historical and theoretical reassessment of three approaches to and with experimental writing: formalism, new materialism and queer theory. It re-examines of the concept of defamiliarisation through critical discussions of new materialist feminisms and queer theory, and tests it by critical and creative forays into experimental writing. Rethinking ‘making strange’ in respect of queering, the argument challenges straightforward literary-historical reading practices in order to affirm a trans-historical, trans-disciplinary and plural perspective. Using its own creative materials to reimagine relations between theory, form and method, it includes feminist ‘rewriting’ of Joyce’s ‘Oxen of the Sun’ passage.
