Virginia Woolf and the Materiality of Theory
Edinburgh University Press (Verlag)
978-0-7486-7643-9 (ISBN)
Ryan opens up Woolf studies to new theoretical paradigms by placing Woolf in dialogue with Gilles Deleuze - who cites her modernist aesthetics as exemplary of some of his most important philosophical concepts - as well as eminent contemporary theorists including Rosi Braidotti, Donna Haraway, Karen Barad, and Jane Bennett, all of whom have influenced the recent critical turn towards new materialisms. Locating theory within Woolf's writing as well as locating Woolf within theory, Virginia Woolf and the Materiality of Theory: Sex, Animal, Life brings her modernism firmly into to the foreground of current debates in literary studies, feminist philosophy, queer theory, animal studies and posthumanities.
Derek Ryan is a Lecturer in English Literature at the University of Exeter. He is co-editor of Contradictory Woolf (Clemson University Digital Press, 2012) and a forthcoming special issue of Deleuze Studies on Deleuze, Woolf and Modernism (Edinburgh University Press, 2013). Current projects include a book he is writing on Animal Theory.
