Abstract:

What grows out of the ordinary? This volume focuses on that which has been
regarded as ordinary, self-evident and formulaic in literary and cultural
phenomena such as diasporic cuisine, pet adoption narratives, Prairie writing,
romance between stepsiblings, the program of a political party, and everyday
shopping in poetry. The book argues that by engaging with that which is
perceived as ordinary we also gain understanding of how otherness becomes
defined and constituted. The volume seeks new ways to access that which might
lie in-between or beyond the opposition between exploitation and emancipation,
and contests the hegemonic logic of revealing oppression and rebuilding
liberation in contemporary critical theory to create new ways of knowing which
grow out of the ordinary.
