| Abstract: |
A literary criticism of the book "There: In the Light and the Darkness of the Self and of the Other" by Etel Adnan is presented. It outlines that the novel instantiates a postapocalyptic future in the apocalyptic present of the text. It also notes the prevalence of teleological discourses of progress and utopia of the novel with a paratactic eschatological discourse. |
