In contrast to the littérature engagée popularized after the Second World War, literature since 1995 makes use of innovative aesthetic and political techniques. The study asks how contemporary literature thematizes politics, and explores literature's ability to create fictional spaces for imagination and reflection by way of recent developments in political philosophy, literary studies, and political science.
