Inhalt:
"Simultaneously a critique of Foucauldian governmentalist interpretations of neoliberalism and a historical materialist reading of contemporary South Asian fictions, Allegories of Neoliberalism is a probing analysis of literary representations of capitalism's "forms of appearance." This book offers critical discussions on the important works of Akhtaruzzaman Elias, Amitav Ghosh, Aravind Adiga, Arundhati Roy, H. M. Naqvi, Mohsin Hamid, Nasreen Jahan, Samrat Upadhyay, and other writers from South Asia and South Asian diaspora. It is also a re-reading of Karl Marx's Capital through the themes and tropes of literature-one that looks into literary representations of commoditization, monetization, class exploitation, uneven spatial relationship, financialization, and ecological devastation through the lens of Marx's critique of capitalism"--
Anmerkung:
Introduction: Allegorizing neoliberalism -- "Kanna" and the monetization of affect -- The white tiger and the subsumption of the rural -- Home boy, the reluctant fundamentalist and the "empire of finance" -- Conclusion: In the ruins of neoliberalism.
