Narrating Multiplicities in Motion: The Transformative Power of Storytelling in Anglophone Cultures (1) (Routledge Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Literature)

Synopsis

Narrating Multiplicities in Motion brings together a dynamic collection of interdisciplinary essays that explore storytelling as a powerful tool for resisting dominant narratives and imagining equitable futures. Grounded in Cultural Studies, English and Anglophone Literature, and Linguistics, the volume examines how narrative practices reframe identity, challenge systemic inequalities, and foster interconnectedness between human and more-than-human beings. Through analyses of speculative fiction, postcolonial narratives, feminist reimaginings, and contemporary media, contributors investigate how stories reshape our understanding of bodies, spaces, and subjectivities.Whether through the subversive humour of a contemporary TV anti-heroine, the reconfiguration of colonial pasts in Africanfuturist fiction, or the embodied resistance found in post-apocalyptic landscapes, Narrating Multiplicities in Motion invites readers to engage with storytelling not merely as reflection but as political action. In an age marked by crisis and uncertainty, it reaffirms narrative as a site of resistance, responsibility, and radical possibility.
