Abstract:

This paper examines how the protagonist of Gravity’s Rainbow, Tyrone Slothrop, seeks subjective fixity in the historical and postmodern sublime. Using an approach that draws upon the theories of Freud, Lacan, and Zizek, the essay argues that while Slothrop indulges his own paranoia and commits acts of increasing perversion to assert self, these attempts actually blur the lines of identity instead of presenting an autonomous being.

Abstract:

L'écriture de Th. Pynchon, dans son oeuvre majeure qu'est Gravity's rainbow, mobilise toutes les ressources de l'expressivité. Le spectacle d'une telle profusion reconduit la "bifurcation" majeure du roman au plan thématique : entre, d'une part, l'intégration tautologique de toute variété et de tout écart, et d'autre part la désintégration du monde et des significations dans la dissipation des formes. La dissipation affecte l'origine et l'autorité des discours, étudiés dans le premier chapître : la circulation des voix effectue un partage, et une dépossession des locuteurs ; la simulation et l

Abstract:

For close to a decade, I have weighed comparative approaches to â the Great American Novelâ . Progress increased as soon as I resolved on selecting Moby-Dick as the work originally responsible for issuing that slogan. Making this particular selection required the application of a dynamic concept which, appropriately, reflects critiques of knowledge production: â the Archiveâ . Perhaps the most direct references to a conceptual archive appear in Derridaâ s Archive Fever: A Freudian Impression, which addresses the dual forces â preservation/destructionâ that influence allegory and mythol

Abstract:

<p> The author argues that ecocriticism has overlooked important works of mid-20th-century American literature because of their unorthodox approaches to writing about nature. These unorthodox approaches revolve around the use of humor and play to formulate arguments about nature. The author argues that because ecocriticism as a political critique emphasizes ecological catastrophe, humor and ludic writing tend to get ignored in the critical discussion. The author expresses the desire to expand the conversation on ludic texts. The author argues that two texts with relatively little ecocritical a

This thesis uses the film philosophy of Gilles Deleuze in Cinema 1: The Movement-Image (1983, trans. 1986) and Cinema 2: The Time-Image (1985, trans. 1989) as a methodology for examining the subject of film in Thomas Pynchon's novel Gravity's Rainbow (1973). The first half of the thesis provides a review of the literature on the subject of film in Gravity's Rainbow, as well as a review of current scholarship on Deleuze's Cinema books, before providing a close reading of both Cinema books that summarizes and explicates the elaborate taxonomy of cinematic signs and images developed by Deleuze.

Abstract:

Magister Artium - MA<br>The focus on space and spatiality is relatively new in literary studies and also not unproblematic. Problems arise from the way in which these concepts are constructed, described, defined and interpret~. It is possible to derive numerous kinds of space, such as historical space, physical space, metaphysical space and religious space, to name a few, from the structure or thematics of a novel. This in itself presents a problem, since the literary scholar must differentiate between these spaces in order to determine which will be most useful for study of a particular aspec

Abstract:

Any text which criticizes, undermines and/or transforms the encyclopaedic ideal of ordering and textualizing the world in a closed, linear fashion can be defined as a post-encyclopaedic text. This thesis explores both theoretical and artistic texts which inhabit the realm of post-encyclopaedism. In the past, critical speculation on encyclopaedism in literature has been concerned with the ways in which artistic texts attempt to live up to the encyclopaedic ideal. In some cases, this effort to establish an identity between the artistic text and the encyclopaedia has led to an ignorance of the d

His novel Gravity' s Rainbow is ranked with the American masterpiece Moby-Dick and the English writer Jame Joyce's Ulysses. As a work of the important postmodernist, Gravity's Rainbow is full of all kinds of absurdities in contemporary human civilization. ln Bakhtin's Problems of Dostoevsky's Poetics and Rabelais and His World, such phenomenon is attributed to the carnivalization of literature. Carnival is a folk culture which is opposed to the official culture. Mihail Bakhtin generali

Abstract:

(EN) The present MA thesis focuses on the function of paranoia found in Thomas Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow. Pynchon's novel is routinely considered one of the finest pieces of American fiction to emerge after World War II and no discussion of this book can avoid the topic of paranoia. Its usage dates back to the time of Hippocrates and, after centuries of addition, the term paranoia is no longer confined to the medical community. After entering popular usage there is no consensus as to how this term is defined. It now possesses a sort of freedom that Pynchon routinely exploits. Paranoia resist

Abstract:

The purpose of my research into Thomas Pynchon's use of ideas from science and philosophy is to show that this group of novels is not, as critics contend, nihilistic, but rather hopeful. In his first novel, V., Pynchon establishes the idea that truth--whether historical, political, scientific or personal--cannot be determined with absolute confidence. He extrapolates from Wittgenstein's claim (Tractalus Logico-Philosophicus) that "the world is all that is the case" to demonstrate that "the case" is different according to each observer. He makes this apparent in a variety of narrative devices w
