The Desert in Modern Literature and Philosophy: Wasteland Aesthetics - Crosscurrents
Tynan, Aidan (Senior Lecturer in English Literature, Cardiff University)
Aidan explores the ways in which Nietzsche’s warning that ‘the desert grows’ has been taken up by Heidegger, Derrida and Deleuze in their critiques of modernity, and the desert in literature ranging from T. S Eliot to Don DeLillo; from imperial travel writing to postmodernism; and from the Old Testament to salvagepunk.
