Sharing a common aim – that of taking the first step in identifying and analysing some of the emergent trends in contemporary European literatures – scholars from across Europe come together in this volume to address a range of issues. Topics include the post-postmodern; the effect of new media on literary production; the relationship between history, fiction and testimony; migrant writing and world literature; representation of ageing and intersexuality; life in hypermodernity; translation, both linguistic and cultural; and the institutional forces at work in the production and reception of twenty-first-century texts. Reading across the twenty chapters affords an opportunity to reconsider what is meant by both ‘European’ and ‘contemporary literature’ and to recontextualize single-discipline perspectives in a comparatist framework.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents: Camille de Toledo: Zwischen-las-lenguas is where I stand – Margaret-Anne Hutton: Introduction – Kristin Veel: Surveillance Narratives: Overload, Desire and Representation in Contemporary Narrative Fiction – Erika Fülöp: The Blogosphere and the Gutenberg Galaxy and Other Impossible Oppositions: Éric Chevillard’s \u003ci\u003eL’Autofictif \u003c\/i\u003e– Ricardo Fernández Romero: Dirty Metaphysics: The Novels of Pablo Sánchez – Nicolas Dreyer: Contemporary Russian Fiction: \u003ci\u003einsanis, demens et delirans\u003c\/i\u003e? – Marina Ortrud M.
