Noise and Redundancy: Nonsense Literature as World Literature During the Cold War

This lecture by Evelyn Shih (University of Minnesota) proposes a particular kind of nonsense literature as a countermeasure to regimes of authoritarian cultural control and the drive towards “oneworldedness” that characterized the communications crisis during the Cold War, linking examples from European surrealism, the négritude movement, and Latin American magical realism with what was happening in Taiwan and South Korea, where national division and colonial legacy made nonsense a particularly urgent necessity in literary praxis.
