Liberating the Canon: An Anthology of Innovative Literature

Liberating the Canon是一部經過編輯的選集，捕捉了英國和美國當代出現的極端創新和不合格文學形式。從歷史上看，社會政治邊緣化和前衛美學並沒有在英國文學中匯集在一起，反過來與外部經驗和正式創新相悖。 LTC將交叉身份和文學創新結合在一起，旨在干預文學出版語境的規範性和“創新文學”。更廣泛的是，如果文學，任何文學都可以作為一種文化抵抗模式，並有助於想像保守黨英國及其他地區更加進步的政治，那就是這樣。

"If there were a literary avant-garde that were relevant now, it would be what the queers and their allies are doing, at the intersections, across disciplines. This avant-garde would be inclusive, racially and culturally diverse, migrants galore, predominately but not exclusively working-class, transdisciplinary, (gender)queer and politically clued up (left)." Isabel Waidner

Liberating the Canon is an edited anthology capturing the contemporary emergence of radically innovative and nonconforming forms of literature in the UK and US. Historically, sociopolitical marginalisation and avant-garde aesthetics have not come together in UK literature, counterintuitively divorcing outsider experience and formal innovation. Bringing together intersectional identity and literary innovation, LTC is designed as an intervention against the normativity of literary publishing contexts and the institution 'Innovative Literature' as such. More widely, if literature, any literature, can act as a mode of cultural resistance and help imagine a more progressive politics in Tory Britain and beyond, it is this.

Most of the essays address aspects of Javanese political culture-from the early nineteenth century, when the Javanese did not yet have words for politics, colonialism, society, or class, through the early nationalism of the 1900s, to the era of independence after World War II, when deep internal tensions exploded into large-scale massacres. In the first group of essays Anderson considers how power was imagined in traditional Javanese society, and how these imaginings shaped Indonesia's modern politics. Other essays focus on the significance of the incongruences between the egalitarian, ironizing national language through which modern Indonesia has been imagined and the powerful influence of the hierarchical, authoritarian Javanese official culture.resistance and help imagine a more progressive politics in Tory Britain and beyond, it is this.
