Abstract:

Antoni Libera, a Beckett ambassador, a translator and a writer himself, has produced a complex network of references to Beckett’s work and biography. This article summarizes aspects of the author-author relationship (anxiety of infl uence, intertextuality, stylistic inspirations, biographical nuances, phantasies, infatuation, anticelebritism) that are revealed in Libera’s writing, as well as claims that the perception of Becket in Poland has been strongly affected by Libera’s writing and biography.

Abstract:

Samuel Becketts künstlerische und Hans-Jörg Rheinbergers wissenschaftshistorische Arbeiten mögen völlig unterschiedlich wirken. Überraschenderweise aber zeigen sich beide durchdrungen von einer speziellen grammatikalischen Form: dem Futur II. Die Grammatik der vollendeten Zukunft rührt an Freuds schwierigen Begriff der Nachträglichkeit. Die skeptische Frage lautet, ob man das Ende einer Serie bestimmen kann, in der man noch steckt – sei es das Leben (Beckett) oder seien es Experimente (Rheinberger). In all diesen Fällen ist es prinzipiell ausgeschlossen, das Ende zu bestimmen. Es handelt sich

Abstract:

Samuel Beckett's impact on literature and theatre is unquestionable but what is the impact of his work within the classroom and how do we quantify the effect on student minds? With an emphasis on why, as opposed to how, this article investigates the rationale for teaching Beckett in Higher Education. It raises questions about curriculum design and delivery, and the pedagogical motivation for exposing students to Beckett's work in the twenty-first century. Adopting a qualitative approach from the positionality of the Beckett educator within an Anglophone-Irish context, the phenomenological acco

Abstract:

Samuel Beckett's Film has been the focus of several articles in the past decade. While current investigations of Beckett's film are diverse, what most of them share is their dependence on biographical data to support their readings. Many scholars who have written on Beckett's failed cinematic excursion, for example, point to Beckett's letter of 1936 to Sergei Eisenstein. However, the link between Beckett's interest in film and his admiration for James Joyce has sadly been overlooked. Both Irish writers saw the artistic possibilities in film and both admired the Russian silent film legend, Serg

Abstract:

Beckettian scholars are of the view that Beckett is an autonomous artist and has never been a religious scholar, so his works should be read as an artistic expression without using any 'religious barometer. Beckett's obsessed quest about theology and his selected plethora of references about Christianity and God almost always capture the attention of critics by encouraging them to read Beckett through a religious angle. Such a stance of Beckett leads the scholars to categorise him as a secular writer who freely deals with religious themes. It is interesting to note that most of Beckett's relig

Abstract:

The following attempts to identify an implicit theoretical divergence already existing in Beckett Studies. Contrasting methodologies, albeit oftentimes implicitly, continue to approach Beckett's writing from markedly different perspectives. One contributing factor to this dilemma is found in Beckett's art and (now archived) supporting materials, which shall also be considered. This article concludes that theorising from a position of empirical accuracy, especially in Beckett Studies, is inherently preferable in demonstrably increasing scholarly knowledge of our shared subject, Samuel Beckett.

Beckett and Bion. Beckett underwent psychoanalysis for two years (1934-35) with Bion in London before emigrating to Paris where he began, in French, his most significant literary work as a writer of fiction. The author of this article explores Beckett’s works for the trace of his interrupted psychoanalytical experience, and more particularly for the transposition of the psychonalytical situation and the working through of negative transference. Furthermore, it can be seen that Beckett’s heroes and narrators often anticipate ideas and formulae which can later be found in Bion. The author thus r

Abstract:

The mirlitonnades are short poems written by Samuel Beckett between 1976 and 1978. These minimalistic pieces reflect the poetic idiosyncrasies in his literary career and also in his personal life. Although Spanish literary culture has not been significantly affected by the work of Samuel Beckett —with some notable exceptions— it is surprising that the mirlitonnades have been translated five times into Spanish. In this study, I will focus on three of those versions —Loreto Casado (1998), Jenaro Talens (2000) and José Luis Reina Palazón (2014)— with the objective of identifying common sources of

Abstract:

In the ‘German Letter’ of 1937 Beckett hints that a ‘nominalist irony’ may be a necessary stage in his ultimate aim ‘to get at the things (or the Nothingness) behind language’. As Beckett's letter attests, the perennial debate between Nominalism and Realism reached its height in the Scholastic period. Matthew Feldman has shown convincingly that Beckett's own ‘Philosophy Notes’ from the early 1930s onwards revolve specifically around the doctrine of Nominalism. With its internal threats of atheism, pessimism, and nihilism, Nominalism certainly seems like a good fit for Beckett. However, alignin

RUL MS3000 promises to keep the "whole Dantesque analogy out of sight". Moving from the teasing promise to do so, this study will analyse the interaction between Dante's presence and absence in these Beckett manuscripts.

Merton was acutely responsive to Beckett's writing, discerning in parts of it a radical ascesis and apophaticism. In analysing Merton's nuanced attitude to Beckett, the discussion draws in the figure of Jacques Maritain, demonstrating the divergences betwee

The essay first discards the idea of using a single understanding of breath by showing how the localized instances of breath in Beckett and Barthes do not scale up to a coherent, synthetic concept.

The notebook contains a mass of unsourced jottings, some of which surface verbatim in Dream, and all of which, to a greater or lesser degree, contributed to the composition of the novel. Some specimen pages of the notebook are shown, in spite of their fragmentary appearance, to have specific (and sometimes unexpected) sources in, the books that Beckett was reading. O

Abstract:

Hélène Cixous and Samuel Beckett were contemporary writers in Paris for several decades, but are seldom considered together. Yet, in 2007, Cixous wrote , the most intensive of her recurrent glances towards Beckett's work so far. This latest text will here be discussed alongside her 1976 essay on Beckett, “Une Passion: l'un peu moins que rien,” in order to trace the roots of Cixous's guarded yet sustained interest in Beckett. The argument further focusses on theatre, and movement, to examine Cixous's continuing engagement with Beckett. The two writers' attachment to the suspension of positional

Abstract:

Hungarian composer György Kurtág has completed three significant Beckett-based compositions. Kurtág includes in his works numerous associative references to people, events, ideas, and other music. This treatment of reference and meaning parallels aspects of Beckett's work; a comparative examination of the role of memory in Beckett and Kurtág sheds light upon the work of both. Additionally, the article considers the performative quality of the finding (or remembering) of words in Joseph Chaikin's and Ildikó Monyók's readings of the Beckett and Kurtág versions of , relating this to the discussio

Abstract:

Beckett was unusually forthcoming in his professions of enthusiasm for the work of Schopenhauer. While Schopenhauer and Beckett were cognate minds on issues such as the ubiquitous miseries of existence, their shared convictions regarding aesthetic questions is no less demonstrable. This essay examines Beckett's critical reflections on the work of Irish artists in relation to core precepts of Schopenhauer's philosophy. It seeks to show how the hermeneutical strategies employed by Beckett in texts such as ‘Recent Irish Poetry’ (1934), ‘Intercessions by Denis Devlin’ (1938), and ‘MacGreevy on Yea

Abstract:

This article explores Jacques Lacan's (minimal) engagements with Samuel Beckett. Before positing Beckett as a ‘silent partner’ of Lacan, the article offers a broader account of the place of literature in Lacan's teaching and in particular the role played by the writings of James Joyce. Lacan's reflections on the Joycean punning on ‘litter’/‘letter’, in Finnegans Wake, provide a context for understanding the psychoanalyst's perspective on Beckett's work.

Abstract:

I have tried to suggest in this essay first that Beckett's construction of rats shows a remarkable familiarity with their biological reality, and, secondly, that this demonstrated familiarity is marked by a distinct lack of 'rattism' (in other words, his approach to rats is more or less prejudice-free). Beckett's rats are not devoid of symbolic status, but this occasional symbolic status is one which takes on a colouring peculiar to Beckett, deriving from his knowledge of rats, and not 'ratified' by popular mythology.In a sense which is different from, but complementary to, the thematic title

Abstract:

This essay examines the correspondence between Beckett and Duthuit in the light of the unpublished notes that Beckett took in Germany in 1936-37. The underlying issue that Beckett's reflections on the image seems to address is the reorientation of his creative writing and the development of a new aesthetic. There is, when Beckett is confronted to an image, a double movement that can be discerned in the way he beholds the image, of fascination, first, but also of mistrust towards this painting. In stripping paintings of their narrative of fIgurative intention, Beckett's comments seem to aim at

It analyses the relations between Beckett's work and that of Franz Erhard Walther, Bruce Nauman, Dennis Oppenheim, Vito Acconci, Chris Burden, Marina Abramovic, Alastair MacLennan and Amanda Coogan. It concludes that examining Beckett in the context of Performance Art enables us to reconsider elements vital to his theatre: the experience of the body in space in terms of duration and endurance; the role of repetition, reiteration and rehearsal; and the visceral interp

Abstract:

Samuel Beckett’s encounter with the aesthetics of ballet has not been fully acknowledged for its impact on his writing. Yet throughout his life Beckett investigated problems of kinaesthetics, and the mechanics of human movement was inspired by his reading of the seventeenth-century Cartesian philosopher Arnold Geulincx (1624–1669), reflected initially in Beckett’s novel Murphy (1938). At the same time, Beckett’s interest in the specificities of physical movement also derives from his spectatorship of, and comments on Petrouchka and other ballets in 1934–5, performed in London by the Ballets Ru
