• Resumen

  • This paper reads Tim Winton’s The Shepherd’s Hut in the context of transmodernity, defined by Rodríguez Magda as “the paradigm that allows us to think our present” (21). Drawing on Moraru, Luyckx, Rifkin and Held, the analysis of the novel proves that transmodernity, a dialectical synthesis between the modern and the postmodern, is slowly but surely contributing to a relational turn encompassing the personal and the transpersonal.
