Abstract in another language
The essay reads Atwood’s MaddAddam trilogy as environmental resilience narratives and investigates how Oryx and Crake, The Year of the Flood, and Maddaddam contribute to current debates on the contested political concept of resilience. Outlining the novels’ specific aesthetics of resilience, the essay focuses, in particular, on how their pre- and post-pandemic fictional worlds critically engage with the neoliberal resilience paradigm, with its specific conceptualizations of uncertainty, vulnerability, and agency.
