Abstract:

Criticism surrounding the children of the Gladney family in Don DeLillo’s novel White Noise remains a contested issue. I argue the children and their social environment reflect Lee Edelman’s analysis of the Child figure and its bolstering of reproductive futurism. The Child figure upholds a heteronormative social order that precludes equal rights and social viability for non-normative family structures and those opposed to an inherently conservative ideology. I find the continually evolving family structure elicits new dynamics among its members, offering greater social independence for all, w

Abstract:

The central concern in my dissertation is how current theories of rhetoric and social construction are made manifest in three of Don DeLillo's novels: Libra, White Noise, and Ratner's Star. Libra demonstrates how the historical figure Lee Harvey Oswald and the events surrounding the assassination of John Kennedy are socially constructed by media imagery and the ambient texts of American culture. White Noise is an extension of Libra in that it details how the discourse of American consumer and political culture construct our sense of self and our relationship to others in our society.

Abstract:

English<br>Ph.D.<br>Between the 1960s and 1990s, Thomas Pynchon and Don DeLillo both registered and attempted to influence the development of a mode of cultural perception organized around computer technologies that we can call a "cyberspatial paradigm." This cyberspatial worldview involves a dual ontology in which experienced reality is generated by a fundamentally different, hidden one. This way of organizing experience parallels the structure of cyberspace, in which a hidden set of data gives rise to a world that is experienced spatially. This dissertation examines the responses Pynchon and

Abstract:

The four novels - The Floating Opera, The End of the Road, White Noise, and Vineland - are representative of the cultural shift away from traditional moral concepts after World War II. Popular culture has increasingly become the guiding force for the continuation of American society, and in Don DeLillo�s White Noise, popular culture and its creation of myth (according to the author�s representation of America) has become embedded in the system and life of contemporary America. John Barth�s novel The End of the Road and its predecessor The Floating Opera are important in any discussion o

碩士<br>國立中興大學<br>外國語文學系所<br>106<br>This thesis aims to discuss the impact of postmodern culture on the characters in two novels of Don DeLillo’s White Noise and Mao II. Both novels depict a society that is full of images, information, and commodities, unveiling how people fetishize different forms of commodities in postmodern culture. Thus, this thesis uses the key concept of Karl Marx’s commodity fetishism and essential critics such as Jean Baudrillard, Walter Benjamin, Fredric Jameson and Guy Debord’s theories to discuss the postmodern vision in DeLillo’s two novels.

Rethinking the Dualism: Don DeLillo's White Noise and the Ecocritical Possibilities of the Nature/Culture Mix questions current applications of ecocriticism and offers that these applications are inadequate in dealing with the perceived nature/culture dualism. This thesis suggests that ecocritics need to stop thinking in dualistic terms, but instead must consider that the separation between nature and culture is an illusion created by the postmodern culture. Don DeLillo's White Noise, then, is used to illustrate the possibilities of rethinking the relationship between nature and culture. DeLil

The disillusionment of Jack’s profound dependence on the “intrinsic values” of nature shows inevitable involvement with social constructivist.

By identifying the different manifestations of modernity in their corresponding contexts in each of the novels, I argue that there is a gradual change in the attitude toward modernity, from the pessimistic outlook on a human society forcefully controlled by rationality in End Zone to the more hopeful intimation of the emergence of another possibility in White Noise, an alternative that becomes fully

From time to time, the reader is asked to judge by themselves about the authorial intention and the narrator’s attitude toward the characters’ suffering. As both the narrator and a character, Jack Gladney typifies the tension of locating the hope of resistance in a seemingly hopeless situation. As the narrator, Jack’s attitude toward the corrupting force of the society
