      abstract = {The Ethics of Survival in Contemporary Literature and  Culture delves into the complex problems involved in all  attempts to survive. The essays analyze survival in  contemporary prose narratives, short stories, poems,  dramas, and theoretical texts, but also in films and other  modes of cultural practices. Addressing diverse topics such  as memory and forgetting in Holocaust narratives, stories  of refugees and asylum seekers, and representations of war,  the ethical implications involved in survival in texts and  media are brought into a transnational critical discussion.  The volume will be of potential interest to a wide range of  critics working on ethical issues, the body, and the  politics of art and literature.
