{"product_id":"shame-in-post-celtic-tiger-irish-fiction","title":"Shame in Post-Celtic-Tiger Irish Fiction","description":"How does literature perform shame rather than merely represent it? Focusing on six Post-Celtic-Tiger Irish novels, this book develops an interferential approach that brings together affect theory, feminist thought, and Irish studies to examine the relationship between female embodiment, shame, and aesthetic form. Rather than treating literary texts as representational objects, the book approaches them as textual bodies and agential sites of affective irritation that absorb, negotiate, and perform shame. In doing so, it shifts attention from what shame means to how literary texts make shame affectively felt and aesthetically operative, inviting readers to affective and ethical responsiveness. It develops an original account of shame aesthetics in contemporary Irish fiction, advancing current debates in Irish studies, affect theory, feminist literary criticism, and contemporary literary studies while offering new perspectives on the enduring legacies of historical and present-day gendered injustices in Ireland.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57573161992565,"sku":"9783112274989","price":100.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/shame-in-post-celtic-tiger-irish-fiction","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
