摘要

This chapter outlines the theoretical framework, methodologies, and overall scope that direct the book’s primary research into the form and content of Mexican novels written after 2002 and directly affected by globalization and postmodernism. The interdisciplinary approach and close reading analysis used to analyze the works of eleven authors—Jorge Volpi, Yuri Herrera, Eloy Urroz, Guillermo Fadanelli, Julián Herbert, Álvaro Enrigue, Valeria Luiselli, Pedro Ángel Palou, Gudalupe Nettel, Verónica Gerber Bicecci, and Mario Bellatin—are also highlighted in this chapter. As a result, five themes—globalization, ethics, history, love, and literary forms—emerge as guiding principles in the following chapters.
