Abstract

The twenty-five years since the turn of the new millennium have been characterized by pervasive experiences of alienation manifesting across social and political spheres. Thus, with this issue, we intend to contribute to the scholarly exploration of discourses surrounding attempts at dis/connection, focusing on how literature can communicate both feelings of disconnection, for example, through exploring the experience of death, as well as affective stories of connection, from familial ties to companionship with animals.
