Katherine Hayles here investigates parallels between contemporary literature and critical theory and the science of chaos.\u003c\/b\u003e She finds in both scientific and literary discourse new interpretations of chaos, which is seen no longer as disorder but as a locus of maximum information and complexity. She examines structures and themes of disorder in \u003ci\u003eThe Education of Henry Adams\u003c\/i\u003e, Doris Lessing’s \u003ci\u003eGolden Notebook\u003c\/i\u003e, and works by Stanislaw Lem. Hayles shows how the writings of poststructuralist theorists including Barthes, Lyotard, Derrida, Serres, and de Man incorporate central features of chaos theory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cornell University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52676742185240,"sku":"9781501727924","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/chaos-bound-orderly-disorder-in-contemporary-literature-and-science-paperback-softback-9781501727924","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
