Full text
Abstract:
This thesis investigates in which ways Samuel R. Delany’s novel Hogg challenge the discourse of normality as stipulated, supported and maintained by the capitalist Oedipal repression of desire. Drawing from Deleuze and Guattari’s theory of the Anti-Oedipus, this thesis explores how Deleuze and Guattari’s notion of desire as a free and productive force can be seen as a disruptive element in a society that relies on repression of the subject for its stability. Furthermore, this thesis explores how the novel questions the understanding of civilisation being dependent on the individual’s submission to the Oedipus triangulation and in extension the Oedipal capitalist separation between the public and the private sphere. Ultimately, the main argument claims that Oedipal repression of desire only allows desire to invest in a restricted number of representations, making other identities than the heteronormative suspicious or invisible.  Hogg depicts a society where capitalism commodifies everything, and need the Oedipal subject to ensure its stability. The characters in the novel that do not subject themselves to the capitalist discourse escape the subjection to the Oedipal triangulation, and are thus free to invest their desire in any way they choose, primarily in non-heterosexual and salirophiliac activities. These characters can be seen as schizoid subjects that are constantly threatening to expose the fragility of the social structure by embodying a contrast to the hegemonic discourse and therefore constantly question its authority as main creator of reason and reality.

Abstract:
Within the science fiction genre, utopian as well as dystopian experiments have found equal representation. This balanced treatment of two diametrically opposed social constructs results from a focus on the future for which this particular genre is well known. Philip K. Dick’s VALIS, Neal Stephenson’s Snow Crash, Samuel R. Delany’s Babel-17, and Chuck Palahniuk’s Lullaby, more aptly characterized as speculative fiction because of its use of magic against scientific social subjugation, each tackle dystopian qualities of contemporary society by analyzing the power that language possesses in the formation of the self and propagation of ideology. The utopian goals of these texts advocate for a return to the modernist metanarrative and a revision of postmodern cynicism because the authors look to the future for hopeful solutions to the social and ideological problems of today. Using Slavoj Žižek’s readings of Jacques Lacan and Theodor Adorno’s readings of Karl Marx for critical insight, I argue these four novels imagine language as the key to personal empowerment and social change. While not all of the novels achieve their utopian goals, they each evince a belief that the attempt belies a return to the modernist metanarrative and a rejection of postmodern helplessness. Thus, each novel imagines the revision of Žižek’s big Other through the remainders of Adorno’s inevitably failed revolutions, injecting hope in a literary period that had long since lost it.

Abstract:
Master of Philosophy (MPhil)
Informationist Science Fiction theory provides a way of analysing science fiction texts and narratives in order to demonstrate on an informational basis the uniqueness of science fiction proper as a mode of fiction writing. The theoretical framework presented can be applied to all types of written texts, including non-fictional texts. In "Informationist Science Fiction Theory and Informationist Science Fiction" the author applies the theoretical framework and its specific methods and principles to various contemporary science fiction works, including works by William Gibson, Neal Stephenson and Vernor Vinge. The theoretical framework introduces a new informational theoretic re-framing of existing science fiction literary theoretic posits such as Darko Suvin's novum, the mega-text as conceived of by Damien Broderick, and the work of Samuel R Delany in investigating the subjunctive mood in SF. An informational aesthetics of SF proper is established, and the influence of analytic philosophy - especially modal logic - is investigated. The materialist foundations of the metaphysical outlook of SF proper is investigated with a view to elucidating the importance of the relationship between scientific materialism and SF. SF is presented as The Fiction of Veridical, Counterfactual and Heterogeneous Information.

Abstract:
This dissertation offers an examination of Delany's critical trajectory from structuralism to poststructuralism and postmodernism across a gamut of genres from SF to sword-and-sorcery, pornography, autobiography and literary criticism. Delany's engagement with semiotics, Foucault and deconstruction form the theoretical focus, together with his own theories of how SF functions as a literary genre, and its standing and reception within the greater realm of literature. The impact of Delany as a gay, black SF writer is also examined against the backdrop of his varied output. I have used the term 'dislocation' to describe Delany's tackling of traditional subjects and genres, and opening them up to further possibilities through critical engagement. Lastly, Delany is also examined as a postmodern icon. A frequent participant in his own texts, as well using pseudonyms that have developed into fully-fledged characters, Delany has become a critical signifier in his own work.

Abstract:
In this Master’s Report, I examine Samuel R. Delany’s use of language in his pornographic novel, Hogg. Through a postcolonial lens, I investigate the ways Delany employs white colonizers’ language to subvert white dominant patriarchal and heteronormative ideologies. As theorists Frantz Fanon and Hortense J. Spillers posit, language is essential to black identity. The arrival of Europeans on the African continent and the subsequent enslavement of blacks resulted in the loss of an indigenous African name. For blacks, the loss of this name serves as a larger metaphor by which one can uncover various wrongdoings committed by white colonizers, such as forcing Africans to learn a foreign language, refusing to acknowledge and respect an established African culture, and the physical violence enacted upon black bodies during slavery. In Hogg, the eleven-year-old black narrator negotiates his existence as a voiceless object and sex slave. I argue that through this narrator, one can see the devastating effects of colonization. Further, by creating a fictional world--the Pornotopia--Delany temporarily creates a space in which patriarchal boundaries no longer exist. Thus, the narrator challenges patriarchal, heteronormative discourse by taking advantage of the assumption that the narrator lacks the ability to master language.

It is no exaggeration to say that Samuel R. Delany remains one of the prominent giants in the literary circle whose fame is paralleled with Issac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke, and Ursula K Le Guin. Born in 1942 in New York to a middle-class family, Delany is a vigorous and prolific science fiction writer who is the nominee and the winner of several literary awards. Babel-17 (1966) and The Einstein Intersection (1967) respectively earned him two Nebula awards, and his non-fiction book, often seen as his autobiography, The Motion of Light in Water: Sex and Science Fiction in East Village received a Hugo in 1989. In 1979, Delany published his first sword-and-sorcery story—Tales of Nevèrÿon, which ultimately becomes the project of four-volume Return to Nevèrÿon series. In this tetralogy—Tales of Nevèrÿon, Neveryona, Flight from Nevèrÿon, and Return to Nevèrÿon, Delany vividly depicts the historical and social transition from barbarism to civilization, from barter economy to currency system, how people invented signs and words, and the matriarchal structure in the Rulvyn tribe. The thesis is a study on Delany's Return to Nevèrÿon series. Chapter One aims to offer a careful reading of Delany's semiotic garden. In this chapter, Saussure's theory of language is examined to demonstrate the arbitrary nature of linguistic system. Then I analyze the meaning of the slave's collar in the story to show that a sign's meaning is altered along with different contexts. Chapter Two intends to read the Nevèrÿon series as a metafiction. Metafiction is a technique used by novelists to interrogate the relationship between fiction and reality. In this chapter, I use Patricia Waugh's theoretical work Metafiction to analyze the metafictional qualities in Nevèrÿon series. Chapter Three looks at the issue of gender and representations. First, I examine Raven's gender story which is also a parody of the Eden story to illustrate that gender identities are not naturally formed but socially constructed. The case of AIDS is also examined to show that this deadly disease AIDS is not simply a medical issue but may be constructed as a discourse to oppress unorthodox sexual preferences such as gay men. Chapter Four again re-examine the problem of representation, using textual evidence to illustrate that historical writings is a problematic discourse in that it still has a difficulty in escaping ideological penetrations. The last section of this chapter examines the main idea of postmodern historiography in order to clarify postmodernist's positions.

Samuel R. Delany is one of the most prominent science fiction writers. Because of his devotion in science fiction, he was introduced into the Science Fiction Hall of Fame in July 2002. This thesis will textually analyze three important themes in his Flight from Nevèrÿon mainly based on Foucault’s concepts of power: power, the discourse of AIDS, and Delany’s politics of writing. The first chapter intends to analyze Delany’s dealing with power relations and a new form of power, that is, biopower. Power relations and the operation of biopower are two of the important parts in Flight from Nevèrÿon. Chapter One will try to deal with new power relations Delany constructs and how biopower is different from traditional sovereignty. The discourse of disease, especially AIDS, will be the main focus in the second chapter. Under the influence of biopower, AIDS is not just a kind disease, but a “metaphor.” When people mention AIDS, it no longer only refers to the disease itself. In “The Tale of Plagues and Carnivals,” Delany writes some stories to criticize people’s ignorance about AIDS. Chapter Three is about Delany’s politics of writing. Delany’s striking and novel politics of writing challenges traditional writing forms and strategies. Different from traditional writing strategies, Flight from Nevèrÿon is divided into three stories which are not related. Delany not only challenges the traditional politics of writing, but also doubts the discourse of “truth” throughout his novel. The discourse of truth, like novels, is constructed by patriarchal language in order to manage and stabilize the population.

Abstract:
Chapter 4 extends part 2’s analysis of queered and gendered black futurities to the realm of racialized queer masculinity, focusing on the work of Samuel R. Delany. His writing provides a bridge between the discourse of “world-making” developed in utopian theories of queer performance and the idea of “world-building” common in science fiction studies. Delany’s fiction shows how the narrative tactics of science fiction, a genre whose most popular literary and media versions have tended to proffer timelines reliant on unmitigated heterosexuality, can turn against assumptions that the future must be straight, or at least arrived at through heterosexual reproductive logics. In Dhalgren (1974) and Stars in My Pocket like Grains of Sand (1984), speculative iterations of 1970s and 1980s public sex cultures use genre tropes to reimagine sexual and racial temporalities in response both to the histories of enslavement and to the beginning of the AIDS epidemic.
