While the program was national, New York was ground zero, and the demolition and monumental reconstruction of the city created a distinctive urban sensorium, rooted in the new segregated landscapes of prosperous white private space and poor black public space.\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eNovel Shocks\u003c\/i\u003e situates these landscapes at the center of the midcentury novel, arguing that James Baldwin, Ralph Ellison, Patricia Highsmith, Ayn Rand, William Burroughs, Sylvia Plath, and Warren Miller all registered these new urban spaces as traumatic \"shocks\" that required new aesthetic forms. Rejecting older shock-based modernisms, these novelists forged a new modernism, which reimagined shock as a therapeutic force that would create a more flexible, self-reliant, and resilient subject that would nourish neoliberalism's roots. In offering a cultural prehistory of neoliberalism, \u003ci\u003eNovel Shocks\u003c\/i\u003e resituates the Cold War novel as a key archive for understanding neoliberalism's emergence and offers a more materialist and historically grounded account of neoliberalism's subjective, affective, and ideological structures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/b\u003e 1\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e1. \u003c\/b\u003eBlueprints:\u003ci\u003e Invisible Man\u003c\/i\u003e and the Great Migration to White Flight 25\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e2.\u003c\/b\u003e The Price of Salt Is the City: Patricia Highsmith and the Queer Frontiers of Neoliberalism 46\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e3.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci\u003eNaked Lunch\u003c\/i\u003e, Or, the Last Snapshot of the Surrealists 63\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e4. \u003c\/b\u003eShock Therapy: \u003ci\u003eAtlas Shrugged\u003c\/i\u003e, Urban Renewal, and the Making of the Entrepreneurial Subject 84\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e5. \u003c\/b\u003eFallen Corpses and Rising Cities:\u003ci\u003e The Bell Jar \u003c\/i\u003eand the Making of the New Woman 104\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eConclusion\u003c\/b\u003e: \u003ci\u003eThe Siege of Harlem\u003c\/i\u003e and Its Commune 125\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/b\u003e 139\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eNotes\u003c\/b\u003e 143\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eWorks\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eCited\u003c\/b\u003e 163\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eIndex\u003c\/b\u003e 185\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Fordham University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52580331585816,"sku":"9780823282708","price":55.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/novel-shocks-urban-renewal-and-the-origins-of-neoliberalism-hardback-9780823282708","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
