Abstract:

Aim. This study aims to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the absurdities inherent in combat events as depicted in Joseph Heller's novel, Catch-22. The study seeks to explore how Heller utilizes literary techniques such as sarcasm, black humor, and surrealism to portray the contradictions, irrationality, and overall absurd nature of war. Additionally, the study aims to unfold the deeper societal implications, including dehumanization and moral degradation, presented in the novel. Method. The research method employed in this study is primarily a qualitative literary analysis. The analysis involves a close examination of the text of Catch-22, focusing on the novel's characters, plot structure, narrative techniques, and the use of literary devices. It engages in critical interpretation and evaluation of how Heller employs sarcasm, black humor to convey the absurdities of war. Results. The study reveals that Joseph Heller employs a unique set of literary techniques, including non-sequential narrative, broken chronology, and cyclical motifs, to vividly capture the chaotic and absurd nature of combat events. The analysis uncovers recurring themes such as bureaucratic absurdities, loss of personal agency, dehumanization, and the existential toll of war. The study highlights the significance of the Catch-22 paradox as a central motif, illustrating the circular and illogical nature of bureaucratic processes during war. Conclusion. Joseph Heller's Catch-22 serves as a powerful critique of the absurdities prevalent in wartime. The Catch-22 paradox emerges as a symbolic representation of bureaucratic folly, encapsulating the struggle of individuals caught in the machinery of conflict.

Abstract:

The paper attempts to address Joseph Heller in his novel, Catch-22 (1961). An examination of the content of the novel in relation to antimilitaristic concepts is a major focus of the paper. The paper depicts various characters in the novel and tries to show how they reflect antimilitarism. The effects of particular behaviors and the major events that take place in the Air Force are discussed in the paper. The story mainly revolves around some airmen who were combatants in World War II. The events discussed in the paper clearly highlight the sentiments held by antimilitarists on war issues. The plot of the novel is sequential and the description of events is comic. The characters represent various characteristics that can be used to develop a plot on antimilitarism. The paper bases its literature of the aspects of the military that necessitate and justify the rise and development of antimilitarism. Socialism is a notable aspect of antimilitarism while militarism seems to conform to capitalism. From an antimilitaristic perspective, capitalism is characterized by a type of bureaucracy that demoralizes soldiers and promotes individuality within the military. Catch-22 deals with all the militaristic and antimilitaristic factors and events that lead to the same aspects.

Abstract:

“Catch-22” is considered one of the American writer Joseph Heller’s greatest novels. It was published in 1961. Joseph Heller combined the irrational sensations, the mocking and satirical tones to describe a collapsed and degenerate world in the postmodern condition. Through the living background of an American military unit of World War II, the author reflected some absurd problems such as: the distortion of justice, the influence of greed, and the issue of personal integrity. This article focuses on analyzing the absurdity of character imagery and reality that is automatically accepted and followed in postmodern condition. As a result, readers can gain a deeper insight into the novel and seek empathy in the perception about the absurd, which is becoming normal in recently.

Abstract:

This article presents a discourse-based approach to negation by applying text world theory to the analysis of negation in the novel Catch-22, by Joseph Heller (1986 [1961]), The model developed for the analysis of negation is based on Werth’s (1999) notion of negation as a subworld which modifies information which is present in the common ground of the discourse. By so doing, negation contributes to the general discourse function of updating information in the text world. Additionally, negation may form part of contradictory structures which, being self-contained units, do not contribute to the updating discourse function but, rather, seem to block the flow of information. The analysis of the functions of negation is framed within a broader framework of stylistic analysis, where the objective is to discuss how the foregrounded nature of negation as a recursive feature in Catch-22 may have a defamiliarizing effect. The argument put forward in this article is that negation plays a crucial role in the expression of a conflict between what is presented as real and what is presented as not real in the fictional world; this conflict, in its turn, has important consequences for the way the story develops and the way major themes of the novel are treated.

Abstract:

This article is devoted to the similarities and differences of the American writer Joseph Heller’s novel “Catch-22” and prominent Uzbek writer Shukhrat (Gulom Aminov)’s novel “Shinelli yillar”. While comparing these two novels, we can see some similar war actions at the same time it is clearly evident the differences between works. As a member of the Beat Generation and the post-World War II era, Heller developed a very satirical approach towards institutions, particularly the national government and the military. He was deeply cynical of war, which was best exemplified by the "black humor" of Catch-22, and he explored the difficulties of Jewish experience in postwar America. However, Shukhrat’s involment in the Second World War, seeing the ruined cities and villages, defeat and victory, prompted him to record a great novel by “Shinelli Yillar” in 1958.

Abstract:

Abstract This thesis consists of three independent parts combined by the theory part in the beginning. The aim of the thesis is to bring into focus the connection between Søren Kierkegaard and modernism. Joseph Heller's novel Catch-22 is also interpreted in the light of Kierkegaard's philosophy. The theoretical part deals with the main concepts of the research (movement, irony, repetition). Joseph Heller's Novel Catch-22 is also brought up more closely in this part. Kierkegaard's works The Seducer's Diary, Repetition and The Mozart-essays are interpreted in the second part of the thesis. The third part consists of two Kierkegaard translations from Danish into Finnish: Repetition and The Mozart-essays. [Søren Kierkegaard, Toisto (Gjentagelsen), transl. by Olli Mäkinen, Jyväskylä 2001, Atena; Mozart-esseet (De umiddelbare erotiska Stadier eller det Musikalsk-Erotiske), transl. by Olli Mäkinen, Jyväskylä, 2002)] Joseph Heller's novel Catch-22 is interpreted in the fourth part. The novel is studied in the light of Kierkegaard's paradigmatic examples and compared to them. There are two different contradictory movements in the study: Kierkegaard is studied as a modernist and modernism is also interpreted in the light of Kierkegaard's philosophy. The primary source of this thesis is the classical version of Kierkegaard's Collected Works: (Søren Kierkegards Samlede V?rker I-XV=SV I-XV. (1920-36 (1901-1906). -Udg. af A. D. Drachmann, J. L. Heiberg og H. O. Lange. Kjøbenhavn: Gyldendalske Boghandel, Nordisk Forlag) The more recent versions have however been used as the basis of the translations of texts Repetition and The Mozart-essays (Gjentageksen and De umiddelbare erotiska Stadier eller det Musikalsk-Erotiske, Søren Kierkegaards Forskningscentret, København 1997, Gads Forlag). In conclusion: Kierkegaard can be interpreted also as pre-modernist and the Kierkegaard-interpretation of Joseph Heller's Catch-22 is valid and possible, although the existential influence in this novel can also derive from the post-war existentialism of the World War II<br>Tiivistelmä Kyseinen tutkimus koostuu kolmesta itsenäisestä osasta, joita yhdistää alussa oleva (neljäs) teoriaosa. Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on valottaa Søren Kierkegaardin ja modernismin välistä yhteyttä. Tutkimuksessa tulkitaan myös amerikkalaisen kirjailijan Joseph Hellerin teosta Catch-22 Kierkegaardin filosofian valossa. Tutkimuksen teoriaosassa käsitellään tulkinnan kannalta keskeisiä käsitteitä (liike, ironia, toisto). Siinä otetaan esille myös Joseph Hellerin romaani Catch-22. Toisessa osassa lähiluetaan Viettelijän päiväkirjaa, joka on Kierkegaardin ehkä tunnetuin yksittäinen teos, ja sekä Toistoa että Mozart-esseitä. Kolmannen osan muodostavat kaksi kriittistä ja kommenteilla varustettua Kierkegaard-käännöstä. [Søren Kierkegaard (1843) Toisto (Gjentagelsen), suom. Olli Mäkinen, Jyväskylä 2001, Atena; Mozart-esseet (De umiddelbare erotiska Stadier eller det Musikalsk-Erotiske), suom. Olli Mäkinen, Helsinki 2002, Like.] Tutkimuksen neljäs osa koostuu Joseph Hellerin romaanin Catch-22 tulkinnasta. Kohdetta lähestytään Kierkegaardin paradigmaattisten esimerkkitapausten kautta. Tutkimuksessa ilmenee siis kahdenlaista liikettä. Kierkegaardia tulkitaan modernistina, mutta modernismia luetaan myös Kierkegaardin filosofian valossa. Tutkimuksessa käytetään primäärilähteinä Kierkegaardin koottujen teosten klassista versiota (Søren Kierkegards Samlede V?rker I-XV=SV I-XV. (1920-36) -Udg. af A. D. Drachmann, J. L. Heiberg og H. O. Lange. Kjøbenhavn: Gyldendalske Boghandel, Nordisk Forlag). Gjentageksen- ja De umiddelbare erotiska Stadier eller det Musikalsk-Erotiske -tekstien käännöksien pohjana on kuitenkin käytetty em. uusimpia versioita (Søren Kierkegaards Forskningscentret, København 1997-98, Gads Forlag). Tutkimuksessa päädytään johtopäätökseen, jonka mukaan Kierkegaardia voidaan tulkita myös esimodernistina ja Joseph Hellerin Catch-22 -teoksen Kierkegaard-tulkinta on mahdollinen, vaikka eksistentialistiset vaikutteet kyseisessä romaanissa voivat olla peräisin myös varsinaisesta toisen maailmansodan jälkeisestä eksistentialismista

Full text

Abstract:

In “Lawmaking, Bilateral Rules, and a Debunking of Catch-22,” Levmore describes Joseph Heller’s antiwar novel Catch-22 as a “one-trick pony” that has little to say about law. The paradoxical legal rules that have made Catch-22 so famous bear little relation to actual law, Levmore argues. Whereas Catch-22’s rules have a binary, either-or structure, actual law is filled with exceptions, caveats, or additional variables that soften the law’s effects. In real life, where a rule might seem too stark, law generally utilizes a standard. Levmore observes that a novel’s ability to engender empathy or compassion likely depends on how plausible it is, and how connected with reality. On this dimension, he views Catch-22 as falling short.

Abstract:

The last chapter examines the migration of a politics of peace from the margins to the centers of political power. As leading antinuclear and peace advocates became increasingly marginalized by the student and antiwar movements, their efforts were beginning to bear fruit in the arena of international politics. They were helped by a popular groundswell of sentiment that saw the arms race and the political ideology of nuclear deterrence as increasingly absurd. Absurdist writers, filmmakers, and philosophers of the 1950s and 1960s creatively underscored the absurdist nature of Cold War politics through works such as Joseph Heller’s Catch-22, Stanley Kubrick’s science fiction film Dr. Strangelove, and the fictional secret government Report from Iron Mountain. Together, they helped pave the way for political leaders, including Nixon in the United States, and Willy Brandt in West Germany, to develop a more pragmatic politics of peace.

Abstract:

The narrative setting for chapter 2 is the Veterans Administration Hospital in Palo Alto, California, in the 1950s, where Bateson lead the double-bind research group investigating paradox and disorder in family relations. The chapter traces the early development of the double-bind theory of schizophrenia and its source in Russellian logical paradox. It discusses the double bind as a resonant and empirically rich example of similar constructs that distilled the modern predicament as an impossible dilemma. Other examples include Joseph Heller's catch-22, Reinhold Niebuhr's reformulation of original sin and his Serenity Prayer; Albert Camus's concept of the absurd and his novel The Stranger; and constructions in Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.'s Slaughterhouse Five. Double-bind equivalents as reactions to the atom bomb are described in works such as Joanna Greenberg's I Never Promised You a Rose Garden, Allen Ginsberg's Howl, and the film Rebel Without a Cause. Meanwhile, social critics such as Lewis Mumford used psychiatric and systems theory language and paradoxical constructions to talk about the failure of "pragmatic liberalism," the arms race, and policies of nuclear deterrence.
