Occupy Pynchon. Politics After Gravity's Rainbow

Книга "Occupy Pynchon. Politics After Gravity's Rainbow". Occupy Pynchon examines power and resistance in the writer's post-Gravity's Rainbow novels. As Sean Carswell shows, Pynchon's representations of global power after the neoliberal revolution of the 1980s shed the paranoia and meta-physical bent of his first three novels and share a great deal in common with the work of Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri's critical trilogy, Empire, Multitude, and Commonwealth. In both cases, the authors describe global power as a horizontal network of multinational corporations, national governments, and supranational institutions. Pynchon, as do Hardt and Negri, theorizes resistance as a horizontal network of individuals who work together, without sacrificing their singularities, to resist the political and economic exploitation of empire.Carswell enriches this examination of Pynchon's politics--as made evident in Vineland (1990), Mason & Dixon (1997), Against the Day (2006), Inherent Vice (2009)...
