ABSTRACT

In this article, I analyse the literary realism of four women novelists in the context of the Celtic Phoenix. While realism has always been closely associated with capitalism as a genre and form, a neo-modernist turn emerged in Irish fiction writing in the years following 2012. This has been analysed in terms of a formal reaction to or against the capitalist realism of austerity policies. The realist novel, however, has remained popular with contemporary women writers, and, in this article I examine novels by Naoise Dolan, Niamh Campbell, Sara Baume, and Sally Rooney, asking how their work subverts or critiques capitalism not just in content, but in form. In particular, artmaking emerges as a self-reflexive motif through which these writers gain critical distance from the totalising capitalist systems they inhabit, and consider the ethics of creative production within this system.

摘要

在本文中，我分析了凯尔特凤凰背景下四位女性小说家的文学现实主义。虽然现实主义作为一种流派和形式一直与资本主义密切相关，但 2012 年之后的几年里，爱尔兰小说写作出现了新现代主义转向。人们根据对紧缩政策的资本主义现实主义的正式反应或反对来对此进行分析。 。然而，现实主义小说仍然受到当代女性作家的欢迎，在这篇文章中，我研究了内奥伊丝·多兰、尼亚姆·坎贝尔、萨拉·波美和莎莉·鲁尼的小说，询问她们的作品如何不仅在内容上颠覆或批评资本主义，而且在内容上颠覆或批评资本主义。通知。特别是，艺术创作作为一种自我反省的主题出现，通过这种主题，这些作家与他们所居住的总体资本主义体系保持了批判的距离，
