In this book, Kevin Corbett demonstrates the prominent role of metamodern cinematic elements in Taika Waititi’s creative works, tracing their emergence over the course of his decades-long career in film and television.Analyzing a range of Waititi’s films and television shows including Jojo Rabbit (2019), Reservation Dogs, and What We Do in the Shadows (2014), Corbett highlights how the writer-director embraces the concept of oscillation that lies at the heart of metamodernism’s cultural logic by striking an intentional balance between elements that generate insincerity and disengagement and those that invite audiences to sincerely connect with the characters and story. This variation in tone within individual films and programs, he contends, is reflective of a broader cultural shift in the 21st century as we move beyond the limits of postmodernism.

This volume explores how the contemporary European novel reflects the tensions between local and global conceptualizations of Metamodernism. Each chapter explicitly addresses metamodern novels’ “glocality” in relation to international Metamodernism theory from a variety of perspectives including Dutch, English, Finnish, French, Italian, Spanish and Ukrainian. By bringing together insights into the manifestations of Metamodernism in such a variety of cultural contexts, this volume furthers our understanding of the concept of Metamodernism and contextualizes the enduring influence of the legacies of Modernism and Postmodernism in European literature

A collection of literary essays investigating how diverse aspects of metamodernism manifest in 21st century English-language fiction.Magdalena Sawa and Joanna Klara Teske analyze how various theories of metamodernism apply to fiction and how close readings of contemporary fiction encourage readers to critically engage with this cultural phenomena. Beginning with an introduction to the key aspects of metamodernism, this collection examines postmodernism, postcolonialism, and ecology through a metamodernist lens while observing metamodernist attitudes toward human experience, sensibility, and the use of antimimetic narrative strategies. Literary Manifestations of Metamodernism allows for a new appreciation of various aspects of contemporary fiction – such as its thematics (e.g. the real, ecology, ethical concern with social justice and care) and its form (e.g. use of magic realism, complex narrative structure, autofiction)–while reinforcing metamodernism as a promising phenomenon that takes advantage of postmodern heritage while surpassing it to explore the responsibility humans bear for socially-constructed reality.
