She calls the new paradigm 'orderly disorder.' This is a timely, informative, and enormously thought-provoking book. -- Nancy Craig Simmons â- \u003ci\u003eAmerican Literature \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eN. Katherine Hayles here investigates parallels between contemporary literature and critical theory and the science of chaos.\u003c\/b\u003e She finds in both scientific and literary discourse new interpretations of chaos, which is seen no longer as disorder but as a locus of maximum information and complexity. She examines structures and themes of disorder in \u003ci\u003eThe Education of Henry Adams\u003c\/i\u003e, Doris Lessing's \u003ci\u003eGolden Notebook\u003c\/i\u003e, and works by Stanislaw Lem. Hayles shows how the writings of poststructuralist theorists including Barthes, Lyotard, Derrida, Serres, and de Man incorporate central features of chaos theory.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cornell University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47615172346007,"sku":"9780801422621","price":7218.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780801422621.webp?v=1775098538","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/chaos-bound-9780801422621","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
