Drawing from literature, philosophy, theology, and cultural critique, this short and accessible book challenges modern conceptions of meaning as something to be consumed rather than created. The book reframes meaning as an act of mediation, not transmission. Meaning is not the successful delivery of content; it is the forging of relation between speaker and hearer, text and reader, past and future. Patrycja Austin and Simon Perry consider a wide range of sources including classical literature, ancient philosophy, the Bible, medieval literature, and contemporary American fiction. In a world where connection feels increasingly elusive, this book offers a path back to presence, showing how texts allow us to 'show up' for one another across the boundaries of time, language, and being.This interdisciplinary book will appeal to readers interested in literature and theology, philosophy and literature, literary ethics, and critical theory.

The essays collected in this book touch upon—from a variety of perspectives—the question of how the understanding of what is human has changed in the twenty-first century. The authors, exploring the intersection between postcolonial theory, posthumanism and environmental studies, provide a wider reflection concerned with the changing perception of the human in the contemporary world and examine its literary representations. The literary works selected for analysis include those of Margaret Atwood, J. M. Coetzee, Lisa Jarnot, Amitav Gosh, Alain Mabanckou, Barbara Kingsolver, Philip K. Dick and William Shakespeare.
