It examines how works of literature and cinema have contaminated constructions of the pure and the immune with their purported opposite. As an advanced critical introduction to the figure of contamination, the book makes explicit what so far has remained unarticulated ́⁸₂ what has only been implied ́⁸₂ within postmodern, poststructuralist and deconstructive theory. Combining theory with literary criticism, the book sheds light on how overlooked aspects of 'the novels of Henry James, Herman Melville and H. G. Wells question notions of natural order as well as an opposition between the subjective and the objective. It offers fresh readings of classic films and literary texts, including Vertigo and Moby Dick, with the aim to ground theoretical insights in close analysis. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Dialectical materialism.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85037522 650 0 Science in literature.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85118667 650 0 Science in motion pictures.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2001003404 650 7 Dialectical materialism.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/892465 650 7 Science in literature.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast /1108731 650 7 Science in motion pictures.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org /fast/1108733 650 7 dialectical materialism.|2aat 650 7 PERFORMING ARTS|vFilm & Video|xHistory & Criticism. |2bisacsh 776 08 |iPrint version:|aMack, Michael, 1969-|tContaminations. |dEdinburgh : Edinburgh University Press, [2016] |z9781474411370|w(OCoLC)920454089 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=2409337|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
