Abstract:

The article applies Robert Humphrey’s analysis of the narrative mode of stream of consciousness to William Faulkner’s novels The Sound and the Fury and Absalom, Absalom! It discusses Faulkner’s uses of different types of stream of consciousness and his presumed purposes behind the employment this narrative mode. Unlike some other modernist writers, who treated stream of consciousness as a literary experiment, Faulkner developed it into a complex narrative mode.

Abstract:

New Historicism subverts the traditional binary opposition between literature and history, highlights the operation of “power” and “discourse” within texts, and explores two-way concerns for history and texts. Under the perspective of new historicism, this paper aims to interpret how HISTORICITY OF TEXTS and TEXTUALITY OF HISTORY are embodied in Absalom, Absalom! by William Faulkner. The paper concludes that, Faulkner’s resorting to literary creation, on one hand, reflects the history and on the other hand, highlights the reality, which realizes the interaction between literature and history.

Objectives: The study aims to introduce Faulkner's concept of moderation in narrative discourse and its relationship to historical authenticity, to determine how this concept is embodied in the structure and the language of the novel. The study also aims to show how Faulkner's novel Absalom, Absalom! Reflects aspects of historical authenticity by employing the concept of moderation as a basis for balance in narrative discourse.  Methods: Fisher and Ravizza's theory of responding to moderate reasons was chosen as the theoretical framework for the study.

Abstract:

This paper analyzes the filiations and affiliations of biography, architecture, writing, power, and history between William Faulkner and Gabriel García Márquez. The author argues that the structures of Faulkner’s Absalom, Absalom! and Márquez’s The Autumn of the Patriarch are highly symbolic and charged with a rich palimpsest of personal, historical, and national meanings. The structures are seen as troubled as they evoke both a critique of patriarchal power and violence in history even while they simultaneously reflect both author’s anxieties about newfound fame and the power that comes with

Abstract:

In this research I discuss the narration technique in three of William Faulkner works Absalom, Absalom!, Light in August, and As I Lay Dying. Faulkner uses multiple narrators in those three works. The aim of my thesis writing is to discuss how the narration technique with multiple narrators is used in those three novels. Faulkner applies multiple narrators in a form of narration that completes each other in certain modes of narration hence the readers could understand the story of each novel in many different point of views. There are several modes of narration that Faulkner applies such as su

abstract: In Absalom, Absalom! , William Faulkner creates a secluded reading space within a Harvard dormitory, where characters Quentin and Shreve engage in reading acts fueled by stories, letters, and memories from the Southern past. Within this protected environment, they explore transgressive desires, particularly those of a homoerotic and interracial nature, without jeopardizing their real-world racial and heterosexual privileges. This work connects this issue of reading at a safe distance to the imbalance between the discourse of race and that of homosexuality in our ways of discussing Fa

Abstract:

Abstract: This article uncovers the significance of Harvard College and the University of Mississippi in William Faulkner’s novels, arguing that Faulkner stages a civil war of universities between these two, dueling institutions. Faulkner was a college dropout, yet the university is a pivotal— and seriously understudied—setting in his writing. For Faulkner, these two universities rise above all others, with the University of Mississippi often seen as the “Harvard of the South.” Faulkner sets these universities in dialectical opposition, building a generative sectional rivalry into some of his

Abstract:

Abstract “The Ghost in the Account Book” claims that the imperial fiction of Joseph Conrad and William Faulkner rejects accounting as a totalizing logic and, by extension, questions the English novel's complicity in propagating faith in that false logic. Accounting, which had remained unobtrusively immanent to realist novels of empire such as Mansfield Park and Great Expectations, surfaces to the diegetic level and becomes available for critical scrutiny in high modernist novels such as Heart of Darkness or Absalom, Absalom! Drawing from writings by Max Weber (on guarantees of calculability) a

Abstract:

Absalom, Absalom! presents the voices of a series of characters who suffer crises when they discover the meaning in other characters' languages or voices to be different from their own. This difference creates an aporia (a radical doubt, a sense of loss of familiar meaning) which disrupts the listening individual's sense of his or her previously 'unified' self. I show that these characters in Faulkner's novel do not have unified voices; their narratives develop as repetitions of the crisis moment when another's voice influenced their way of relating to themselves through language.<br>I also sh

Abstract:

The purpose of this thesis is to explore William Faulkner’s paradoxical modernist aesthetic. While his writings evince primal, earthy, and post-Civil War angst-ridden qualities, Faulkner’s narratives are also found to be hyper-postmodern. Using Jacques Derrida’s theories on the absent-present trace, I will show how certain micromoments in three of Faulkner’s texts showcase the “trace” forming a pathway to the inaccessible and unattainable sublime. I will use “trace” and general theories of the “sublime” as methodological tools to explore Faulkner’s narrative of pastoral loss, the cultural inst

Abstract:

In this essay I employ memory theories to examine Absalom, Absalom! by William Faulkner. How are the memories depicted and how do they function in the novel? What are the characters 'allowed' to remember? Scholars that have written about William Faulkners usage of memories and narrative time in his novels, often claim that they together represent and create a sense of determinism and/or fatalism. Even though I agreed with that opinion, regarding time and memory in a lot of Faulkners novels, I wondered if these features in the text might not represent/mean something more, beyond that.

"The Journey Within" deals with how the receiver (reader/viewer) engages with the novel and the film. The thesis primarily focuses on Faulkner's novel, incorporating Persona largely as a means by which to illustrate the more carefully concealed reader-engagement strategies in Absalom, Absalom! Starting with a review of Faulkner criticism that opens itself up to this inquiry, the thesis leads into a detail study of the engagement strategies used to foster identification, alignment, sympathy, and empathy among receivers.

O objetivo é investigar se no trabalho de Faulkner pode ser encontrado um narrador por excelência, partindo do conceito apresentado por Walter Benjamin em seu estudo The storyteller: reflections on the works of Nikolai Leskov.

Nascuda de les crisis històriques que giren al voltant de les relacions racials, patides al si de l'Imperi Britànic de finals del segle XIX i al Sud dels Estats Units durant la dècada de 1930, l'articulació d'aquests dos aspectes en les novel·les permet una representació de les qüestions racials que és innovador
