Abstract:
Over the years, critics have attached multiple equivalences to the title character in Herman Melville's "Bartleby, the Scrivener" (1853). Bartleby has become metaphor as readers have found a variety of matches for the condition of alienation and rejection implicit in his tragic story, a well-known example of which is interpreting Bartleby as an artist who refuses to produce the type of literature that is commercially successful in his society. The central contention of this study is that the scholarship written on "Bartleby" to date has not identified the vehicle for the tenor we uncover in Ba

Abstract:
“Bartleby” is the name of the principal character in Herman Melville’s short story about the relationship between a manager and an employee. Bartleby is the employee. His job is to be a scrivener, or a copyist.The setting is a small law firm on Wall Street a century and a half ago — long before computers and photocopy machines, or even typewriters and carbon paper. A scrivener’s job was to copy a document clearly and accurately using the information technology of the day: paper, a bottle of ink, and a sharpened quill.You’ll find that the office technology may be different now than it was in Ba

Abstract:
Hiroki Yoshikuni, “Kant with Bartleby: A Fate of Freedom” (pp. 37–63) This essay explores the problem of the “unaccountable” in Herman Melville’s “Bartleby, the Scrivener” (1856) in light of the Kantian idea of freedom. The lawyer-narrator declares his own inability to tell a story of Bartleby, but by doing so he also emphasizes the scrivener’s accountableness, by which Bartleby is presented as a character of exceptional originality. Bartleby might thus appear free in the Kantian sense, because his unaccountableness suggests that the determining ground of his will is not determined by inclinat

Through the lawyer-narrator, Melville’s story discreetly challenges the representation of charity as a viable means of redistributing wealth and restoring balance to an unequal social structure. The narrator masterfully employs the rhetoric of charity to negotiate his role in Bartleby’s tragic outcome, generating a self-promoting narrative that deflects

Abstract:
This article aims to discuss how Bartleby, the character from Herman Melville’s homonymous story, Bartleby, The Scrivener re-emerged in the Occupy Movement in Wall Street. Here, I intend to argue that Bartleby has been wrongly appropriated, which in turn, may explain the shortcomings of the movement. The Occupy Wall Street took possession of Bartleby because in Melville’s story, he occupies the premises of a lawyer’s office in Wall Street. However, this appropriation has dismissed the political 'inefficacy' of Bartleby’s formula, 'I would prefer not to'. As I shall argue, the formula exposes i

ABSTRACT This essay examines Herman Melville’s “Bartleby, the Scrivener: A Story of Wall-street” through the perspective of media studies. It describes Bartleby’s communicational role by considering his inability to function as a medium. The article shows how the wall that faces the desk and the dead letters from his previous employment contribute to Bartleby’s “preference not to.” Surrounded by walls and forced to mechanically reproduce legal texts, Bartleby’s physical isolation prevents him from engaging in social interactions.

Abstract:
Melville wrote Bartleby the Scrivener as a literary portrayal of the Humoral theory of disease. Virchow disproved that theory five years after the novella was published, suggesting Melville was humanizing an unknown pathology. A clinical assessment of the text reveals low-grade lead poisoning, which best explains the strange behavior, abnormal appearance, and premature death of the character Bartleby as depicted by the author. In conjunction with the textual substantiation, historical evidence indicates that at the time Melville wrote the work, one in ten people he encountered suffered from th

Abstract:
Herman Melville’s Bartleby is a fundamentally passive character who has nonetheless been regularly presented as carrying out a heroic resistance. This paradoxical conjunction of passivity and heroic action is particularly acute in philosophical readings of Melville’s novella. Philosophers have identified Bartleby as a “New Messiah,” or new “New Christ” whose passive resistance offers a form of revolutionary emancipation from existing political structures, thereby affirming the paradox that Bartleby is a hero who does not act.By examining the paradox of Bartleby’s heroic passivity through the s

The ambiguity of Melville’s story not only fascinates his readers, and invites critics of different mindsets to interpret with diverse perspectives. Amongst the multitude of interpretations, some read Bartleby as a social outcast that stands against the sovereign power, whereas some consider Bartleby an iconic Marxist figure that defies capitalism.

This dissertation is based on the observation that Herman Melville's "Bartleby, the Scrivener" has become a popular reference in contemporary culture. Not only in the field of literary scholarship but also in the realm of art, political theory and philosophy, it is employed as an example of authentic resistance to power, a counter-intuitive politics that finds its strength in withdrawal, inaction, and inscrutability. The thesis examines the reasons and motives that drive literary scholars, artists and philosophers to read, interpret and use the story in such a way. It does so by analyzing the

Integrating close readings with critical theory, I establish that Melville was challenging the new rhetoric of philanthropy that created a moral identity for wealthy men in industr

Whether understood in terms of a "refusal of work" (Negri), or as signifying a "new" form of praxis of a "coming community" (e.g., Žižek, Agamben), contemporary readings of "Bartleby" serve as a lexicon in which capitalism is represented as having outlived its basic co
