Abstract:

The dissertation presents an analysis of the construction of sexual difference in selected works of postmodern American fiction. The concept of postmodernism is used here to connote those texts which articulate a dialectic between the aesthetics of modernism and that of American consumer culture. The writers who are the subject of the thesis, striving to create a language which both represents and questions the formation of subjectivity in this culture, have produced new, stylized forms of realism. Each writer explores the tension within postmodern culture between· homogenization and the creation of the possibility of the expression of differences, and foregrounds the construction of sexual identity as the point at which this conflict is most radically staged. War - primarily the Second World War and the war in vietnam - is frequently the reference point for an exploration of the destabilization and reconstitution of sexual identity. The introductory chapter considers the inflections of the concepts of postmodernism and sexual difference in critical debates from the 1950s through the 1980s, with specific reference to the shifts charted by the works of Thomas Pynchon. In the next three chapters an analysis is made of Pynchon's extensive exploration, articulated along a trajectory from a self-conscious experimentalism to a new form of realism, of the fantasies of sexual identity which underpin contemporary American discourses of power. Particular attention is paid to his representation of the repetition of certain configurations of masculinity and femininity through the aesthetics of the fin de siecle Decadence, Modernism, Fascism and consumer culture. These configurations are also identified in the works of Raymond Carver, Bobbie Ann Mason and Jayne Anne Phillips, whose writing is examined in the remaining three chapters as being representative of a new school of realist writing which 'emerged in the States in the 1980s. The project of postmodernist writers is assessed through an analysis of the way in which the stylistic concerns of these writers are bound to an exploration of gender in consumer culture.

Abstract:

Bobbie Ann Mason uses her fiction to portray the problems in American society. She devotes most of her time to average persons who are suffering from the rapid changes that society is going through. These characters at times seem lost and helpless, but ultimately they do not give up hope for a brighter future. Through social problems such as divorce, lack of communication, loss of identity and place, obsession with the past, submersion in rock music and TV, loss of ritual, proliferation of objects, lack of education, and the need to face mortality, these characters still seem to have hope and strength. There are serious problems to deal with, but there is also a future that can possibly bring better times if the problems can be solved successfully. But Mason's world is not completely pessimistic and not all of her characters are miserable. Many of them take advantage of the changes in society, and improve their lives. Also, there are still positive values left. They are not as obvious, but they are still there if a person takes the time to look. Not everything has changed for the worse. For example, Mason seems to suggest later marriages. Early marriages lead to discontentment and more than an abundance of problems, and most of Mason's characters who married younp. are very dissatisfied with their lives. Mason also stresses the fact that most people have the freedom of choice since people no longer have to behave in a certain manner, and society is more accepting than it once was. Mason also points out the peace and contentment that can be found with the land. She says as well that simplicity many times is preferable to the "technological advances" that have driven people to large cities where everyone seems the same, and she Insists that there are still small towns and contented people who inhabit them. Other positive qualities are the fact that we have the opportunity to receive an education, and we still have humor. We can look at the mistakes we have made and find humor in them as well as learn from them. Mason also seems to retain the hope that changes will keep occurring, that people still care enough to fight for a better, less problem-filled life. In subtle ways, Mason's fiction is optimistic.

Abstract:

This dissertation argues that the four writers named above use the grotesque to illustrate the increasingly peculiar consequences of the assault of modernity on traditional Southern culture. The basic conflict between the views of Bakhtin and Kayser provides the foundation for defining the grotesque herein, and Geoffrey Harpham's concept of "margins" helps to define interior and exterior areas for the discussion. Chapter 1 lays a foundation for why the South is different from other regions of America, emphasizing the influences of Anglo-Saxon culture and traditions brought to these shores by the English gentlemen who settled the earliest tidewater colonies as well as the later influx of Scots-Irish immigrants (the Celtic-Southern thesis) who settled the Piedmont and mountain regions. This chapter also notes that part of the South's peculiarity derives from the cultural conflicts inherent between these two groups. Chapters 2 through 5 analyze selected short fiction from each of these respective authors and offer readings that explain how the grotesque relates to the drastic social changes taking place over the half-century represented by these authors. Chapter 6 offers an evaluation of how and why such traditions might be preserved. The overall argument suggests that traditional Southern culture grows out of four foundations, i. e., devotion to one's community, devotion to one's family, devotion to God, and love of place. As increasing modernization and homogenization impact the South, these cultural foundations have been systematically replaced by unsatisfactory or confusing substitutes, thereby generating something arguably grotesque. Through this exchange, the grotesque has moved from the observably physical, as shown in the earlier works discussed, to something internalized that is ultimately depicted through a kind of intellectual if not physical stasis, as shown through the later works.
