Description
Offering a provocative analysis of neurodivergent and twenty-first-century perspectives on time and some of its cultural expressions, this open access book is the first comparative study of the intersections between neurodiversity and the evolving field of Contemporary Studies.
Blending literary close reading and sociological discourse analysis, the book turns to fiction for the strategic insights it can offer into cultural imaginaries of neurodiversity and time. With a focus on twenty-first-century novels from authors such as Jonathan Safran Foer, Lisa Genova, John Wray, and Julie Dachez, it interrogates the entanglements between categories of crip time and the contemporary, examines the processes of exclusion governing neurodivergence construction, and advocates for a new vocabulary demonstrating the role of contemporary neuroinclusive perspectives in twenty-first-century epistemological processes.
