 Rebecca L. Walkowitz is an Associate Professor of English at Rutgers University. She is the author of Cosmopolitan Style: Modernism Beyond the Nation (Columbia University Press, 2006; paperback, 2007) and the editor of Immigrant Fictions: Contemporary Literature in an Age of Globalization (Wisconsin University Press, 2007). She is the coeditor, with Douglas Mao of Bad Modernisms (Duke University Press, 2006); with Marjorie Garber and Beatrice Hanssen, of The Turn to Ethics (Routledge, 2000), and, with Marjorie Garber and Jann Matlock, of Media Spectacles (Routledge, 1993). Her articles have appeared in several anthologies and in journals such as MLQ, ELH, Modern Drama, and Contemporary Literature. Her current project, After the National Paradigm: Translation, Comparison, and the New World Literature, considers the effects of globalization on national paradigms of literary culture and argues for the emergence of new forms of “comparative writing” in contemporary transnational literature. An article from that project, on Kazuo Ishiguro, translation, and the new world literature, is forthcoming from NOVEL. She is now writing with Douglas Mao an overview of "the new modernist studies" for PMLA as well as several commissioned essays on twentieth-century British literature and globalization. |
