    Establishing the Continuum: Postmodernism, Twenty-First Century Culture, and American Fiction

    Establishing the Continuum: Postmodernism, Twenty-First Century Culture, and American Fiction M.J. Graham PhD 2020 Establishing the Continuum: Postmodernism, Twenty-First Century Culture, and American Fiction Matthew James Graham A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Manchester Metropolitan University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of English Institute of Humanities and Social Sciences Research Manchester Metropolitan University September 2020 Abstract This thesis argues postmodernism is altered and repeated rather than succeeded, producing a postmodern continuum that stretches into the twenty-first century. Initially, a selection of canonical late twentieth century American postmodern texts are analysed (Bret Easton Ellis’ American Psycho, Kathy Acker’s Empire of the Senseless and Chuck Palahniuk’s Fight Club). These novels are used to illustrate the anxieties over advanced capitalism’s totalising dominance that are repeated in contemporary American culture. Next, a variety of twenty-first century novels are interrogated (Amanda Filipacchi’s Love Creeps, Zané Sachs’ Sadie: The Sadist, Dennis Cooper’s God Jr. and Zac’s Control Panel, Alexandra Kleeman’s You Too Can Have A Body Like Mine, and Tao Lin’s Taipei). These texts demonstrate a selection of the discrete ways that postmodernism is repeated in contemporary American fiction. The chapters focus upon cultural integration, reapplication, counter-intuitive replication, and politicised nostalgia as distinct yet related ways that postmodern aesthetics are repeated in contemporary American culture. Together, these novels trace a shift within postmodernism since its peak in eighties American culture. These forms of repetition illustrate the distinct and at times contradictory ways a postmodern continuum persists, providing a new way of considering its connection to the present moment.
