    Preliminary Material -- INTRODUCTION -- GENERATIONAL IDENTITY: ORIGINS, FORMATION AND IMPACT -- DEVIANCE: DEFINITIONS, REACTIONS AND IMPLICATIONS -- CULT FICTION: WRITING FROM THE MARGINS -- THE GENERATIONAL CONSTELLATION IN POST-WAR AMERICA: A BRIEF OVERVIEW -- THE ROAD OUT: DEVIANCE IN JACK KEROUAC’S ON THE ROAD -- AN UNLOCKED WINDOW: DEVIANCE IN KEN KESEY’S ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO’S NEST -- “EDGE CITY”: DEVIANCE IN TOM WOLFE’S THE ELECTRIC KOOL-AID ACID TEST -- “DISAPPEAR HERE”: DEVIANCE IN BRET EASTON ELLIS’ LESS THAN ZERO -- “THE LUNAR SIDE OF THE FENCE”: DEVIANCE IN DOUGLAS COUPLAND’S GENERATION X -- “HITTING BOTTOM”: DEVIANCE IN CHUCK PALAHNIUK’S FIGHT CLUB -- OPTING OUT AND AMERICA’S SOCIAL IMAGINARY -- BIBLIOGRAPHY -- INDEX. Opting Out explores the theme of deviance as a form of protest in famous cult novels that have left an indelible mark on contemporary American culture – from Jack Kerouac's On the Road to Chuck Palahniuk’s Fight Club . Adopting a generational lens, it centers on the deviant heroes and literary spokesmen of two major cohorts: the Baby Boomers and Generation X. Here for the first time the cult texts that defined these generations are submitted to a critical analysis that allows them to enter into a dialogue – or rather a heated debate – with each other. This opens new perspectives on the generation gap in America since 1945, offering a dynamic look at the role of youth as agents of social change and cultural innovation. The volume is of interest to students and researchers in contemporary American literature and culture, as well as to fans of cult fiction in general. The interdisciplinary approach to the themes of generational conflict and deviant behaviour also makes a significant contribution to the fields of sociology, contemporary history and cultural studies

    A Note on Translations -- One. Ethics, Alterity, and Levinas -- Two. Spain's Generacion X -- Three. Repeating the Same Violence or the Failure of Synchrony: Veo Veo, El frio, and Mensaka -- Four. The Betrayal of Diachrony: El secreto de Sara, Anatol y dos mas, and Tocarnos la cara -- Five. Diachrony and Saying: Arde lo que sera, Sentimental, and La fiebre amarilla -- Afterword. "Ethics, or the systematized set of inquiries and responses to the question "what should I do?" has infused the history of human narrative for more than two centuries. To study narrative fiction is to study ethics. One of the foremost theorists of ethics during the twentieth century, Emmanuel Levinas (1906-1995) radicalized the discipline of philosophy by arguing that "the ethical" is the foundational moment for human subjectivity, and that human subjectivity underlies all of Western philosophy. Levinas's voice is crucial to the resurging global attention to ethics because he grapples with the quintessential problem of alterity or "otherness," which he conceptualizes as the articulation of, and prior responsibility to, difference in relation to the competing movement toward sameness. Academicians and journalists in Spain and abroad have recently fastened on an emerging cluster of peninsular writers who, they argue, pertain to a discernible literary generation, provisionally referred to as Generaci." -- "Ethics, or the systematized set of inquiries and responses to the question "what should I do?" has infused the history of human narrative for more than two centuries.

Academicians and journalists in Spain and abroad have recently fastened on an emerging cluster of peninsular writers who, they argue, pertain to a discernible literary generation, provisionally referred to as Generacion X. These writers are distinct from their predecessors; they and their literary texts are closely related to the specific socio-political and historical circumstances in Spain; and their novels relate stories of more and less proximity, more and less responsibility, and more and less temporality. In short, they trace the temporal movement of alterity through narrative." --
