Abstract:
Abstract Against the backdrop of sudden shifts in global political and historical climate, our century has witnessed a convergence of turns in humanities, including the nonhuman turn and the historical turn. Ian McEwan’s latest novella, The Cockroach, is a just work along this line. Through the use of unnatural narratives within realistic context, McEwan presents readers with a world that is both strange and recognisable. By examining the unnatural narrative strategies, including the deployment of nonhuman character and omniscient narrator, McEwan expresses concerns for the future of humanity and fear for social and cultural parochialism, populism and anti-cosmopolitanism.

Abstract:
Neste artigo, direcionamos nossa atenção para quatro romances do escritor inglês Ian McEwan – The Cement Garden, The Innocent, Enduring Love e Atonement –, a fim de rastrearmos recursos de criação metaficcional utilizados na composição destas narrativas. Ao fazer uso de estratégias como mise en abyme, paródia, e ao tematizar os processos de escrita e leitura, inserindo personagens que atuam como leitores e/ou escritores, McEwan inscreve em tais textos literários problematizações sobre sua própria construção ficcional e seu status de ficção. Concluímos que os quatro romances discutidos atestam a profundidade e o alcance de questões de ordem metaficcional no conjunto da obra de Ian McEwan.

Abstract:
AbstractAlthough the work of Ian McEwan, one of the most important modern British writers, has been quite thoroughly researched, the narrative space was rarely the subject of narratological treatment. This article tackles a close reading of McEwan’s novel Saturday from a narratological perspective testing the applicability of a series of spatial categories systematized by Marie-Laure Ryan in the already existing narratological tradition and in her own research in narrative space. At the macro level of the story, the circular structure of the novel and the concepts of space as a container and space as a network are being shown and so is the use of local names. In the foreground there is a discussion of the five fundamental levels of narrative space (spatial frames, setting, story space and spaces of intertextuality, storyworld, narrative universe), followed by the treatment of textualization at the micro level (perspectivism and aperspectivism, map, and tour, and the lived experience of space). The analysis of space representation in Saturday eventually makes it possible to conclude that McEwan promotes the conception of space that became prominent within the spatial turn in postmodern humanities.

Abstract:
First Love, Last Rites, a collection of short stories by Ian McEwan was published in 1975. This was the first work written by McEwan that consist eight short stories with estranged and perplexed themes. Ian McEwan received a mixed reaction of criticism as well as appreciation by the readers. The stories are usually of fifteen to twenty pages with the following titles – “Solid Geometry”, “Homemade”, “Last Day of Summer”, “Cocker at the Theatre”, “Butterflies”, “Conversation with a Cupboard Man” and “First Love, Last Rites” and “Disguise”. The author has also included a short story named after the title of his collection. There are numerous aspects in the stories where either the narrators or the protagonists talk about their suppressed emotions or fulfilled desires without being concerned about the societal norms and environment around them. This paper will analyse eight short stories of McEwan in light of the psychoanalytical terms, ‘Id Domination’ and ‘Abreaction’.

Abstract:
This paper aims to study the discomfort experienced by characters in Ian McEwan’s (1948-Present) novel, The Comfort of Strangers (1981). In the novel, the whole scenario presents a bleak picture before the readers and one can easily guess that the things are going in a horrible direction. The paper further studies that in the contemporary milieu, the anguish, cruelty, selfishness, discomfort, decomposition and death has spread everywhere. The life has lost meaning in its true sense and every entity of the planet seems at stake. McEwan explores the world of crisis and its persistent effect on contemporary society.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis traces the 'metaplot' of Ian McEwan's progress, through his professional writing. Completely unknown in 1971, his work has attracted increasing recognition, culminating in the Booker prize in 1998. Early in his career, he gained access to elements of his unconscious through free-association, active imagination, meditation and the use of recreational drugs. These elements, which surfaced gradually and piecemeal, include strong feelings associated with the Oedipus complex, difficulties with masculine self-identification, feelings of rejection, unresolved grief, wishes to regress to the latency period of childhood, and sexuality contaminated with anal-sadistic power issues. McEwan dealt with these themes by creating characters who expressed them through sexual deviations and violence or acted them through to their logical conclusion. Thus he was able to confront previously repressed aspects of his inner life and resolve some of his emotional problems in safety, while availing himself of rich material for his fiction. His writing is not autobiographical, but it will be demonstrated that events in his life and his changing beliefs and values are reflected in his work. He achieves an illusion of authenticity by including real people and events, familiar to readers from recent history and the news, in vividly described settings. He shares with the reader his interest in advances in science and his concerns about the dangers facing mankind and the evils of authoritarian and patriarchal structures in the microcosm and macrocosm of human institutions. He synthesises these components under a strong narrative shelter of complex plots, dramatic suspense, unexpected thrills and shocks. The psychodynamic interpretations offered in this thesis depend on a detailed study of McEwan's published work. Their aim is to isolate the separate threads in the fabric of his fiction and demonstrate the maturation and increasing sophistication of his work.

Abstract:
Par le choix de ses sujets, la fiction de ian mcewan constitue un piege pour l'interpretation. L'erreur serait de pretendre en circonscrire le scandale en l'abordant sous l'angle exclusif d'une thematique de la perversion qui manquerait la litterarite de l'oeuvre et sa force, qui provient de la tension entre maitrise de l'ecriture et immoralite ou chaos du contenu. L'analyse doit donc etre attentive aux rapports differentiels qui existent entre perversion et fiction afin de montrer comment elles se conjuguent et s'excluent tout a la fois, chacune eclairant l'autre. Elles peuvent etre mises en parallele sur trois points. En premier lieu, toutes deux deconstruisent la realite dont elles montrent qu'elle est un systeme de codes. Par voie de consequence, on y decouvre un savoir qui n'est pas constatif ou theorique, mais figural, dans la mesure ou il permet d'entrevoir le reel - ce qui est unique, non representable par excellence - dans le baillement, les rates de la representation. Enfin, texte et perversion, par leur mise en jeu des oppositions fondamentales de notre horizon conceptuel, suspendent tout jugement categorique, qui ne ferait qu'appliquer methodiquement les regles etablies. Le privilege de la litterature tient dans le pouvoir qu'a l'imagination de renouer avec les questions urgentes posees par la perversion a nos modes de representation de l'experience humaine et de les remettre en jeu, evitant ainsi qu'elles ne retombent dans le delire clinique. L'humour noir qui en resulte est le signe d'une morale qui en appelle a une forme de jugement capable d'apprecier et les faits et les regles qui s'y appliquent. A terme, l'oeuvre de ian mcewan s'avere une longue interrogation sur le pouvoir, sous toutes ses formes, et sa perversion. C'est par ce biais et par sa mefiance envers les reponses categoriques qu'elle appartient a la litterature postmoderne
The scandalous character of the subjects in ian mcewan's fiction makes it a pitfall for the interpreter. The temptation would be to restrict the scandal by an exclusively thematic approach and consequently miss the literariness and the strength of his works, that is to say the tension between the mastery of the artistic form and the immorality or the chaos of the contents. On the contrary, the interpretation must focus on the differential relationship between text and perversion so as to demonstrate how they both combine and exclude each other, each throwing light on the other. Text and perversion can be paralleled along three main lines. Firstly both give rise to a deconstruction of reality, which they expose as a coded system. As a result, the knowledge they bring into play is not of a constative but of a performative or figural kind, in the sense that it lets us get a glimpse of the real that which is unique and cannot be re-presented - in the cracks or misfires of representation. Lastly text and perversion, by putting into question the dichotomies that ground our conceptual understanding, defer any judgement that would be a mere enforcement of established categories. The privilege of literature is to draw on the power of imagination to revive the crucial questioning of human experience which stems from perversion in a manner that rescues it from clinical delirium. The resulting black humour of mcewan's work beckons to an ethics relying on a form of judgement taking into account the facts as well as the act of judgement. Eventually, ian mcewan's fiction appears as a sustained and imaginative meditation on power, in whatever shape, and its perversion. Because of this, and because of its distrust of categorical answers, it belongs fully in postmodern literature

Between science and literature, despite their language differences, there are more points in common than one would imagine. One of these points is the presence of characters from science in literary works. Thus, one of the main objectives of this research is to investigate how characters originally from the natural sciences, especially physicists, are represented in literature. In order to answer this question, this dissertation uses as its object of study the novel Solar, by the British writer Ian McEwan, and as a method, the Analysis of Content. The theoretical foundation is focused on the study of the concept of narrative focus, on the identification of different types of narrators, and on the presentation of a theory of character, based on the ideas of Mikhail Bakhtin and Antonio Candido. An analysis of the biographical profile of the writer and of the external components of the novel (dedication and epigraph) reveals an intended goal of provoking reflection on the problem of global warming. A study of the narrative focus of Solar reveals that there is an "implied author” – in terms of Wayne Booth –, a predominance of the scene and a narration in free indirect discourse, giving the narrative richness and fluidity.The physicist presented in Solar brings together a set of features that valorize the fact that the protagonist is a famous scientist and Nobel Laureate, while also pointing out the negative aspects of his personality, as often inspired by known figures of science, such as Albert Einstein and Paul Dirac. The different stereotypes used in the composition of the character have also been analyzed, including the idea that a scientist can be an insensitive individual, incapable of emotional relationships, concerned only with his own work, and neglecting professionals from other areas of knowledge. In the end, it has been demonstrated that the concepts of scientific thought of the protagonist describe him as a physicist with a positivist mentality – he believes in a science that do not consider the human presence, deterministic and casuistic. He is conservative, biased, and struggles to understand and accept new ideas.

Assim, esta pesquisa teve como objetivo central responder: como personagens originários das ciências naturais, em especial da física, são representados na literatura? Para responder a essa pergunta, este trabalho utilizou como corpus o livro Solar, do escritor inglês Ian McEwan, e como método de análise a Análise de Conteúdo. A fundamentação teórica centrou-se no estudo do conceito de foco narrativo, na identificação dos diferentes tipos de narradores e na apresentação de uma teoria do personagem, tendo como base, principalmente, as ideias de Mikhail Bakhtin e Antonio Candido. Na análise do perfil biográfico do autor e dos componentes externos (dedicatória e epígrafe) da obra, constatou-se a presença de uma intencionalidade cujo objetivo é provocar uma reflexão sobre o problema do aquecimento global. O estudo sobre o foco narrativo de Solar verificou a existência de um “autor implícito” (BOOTH), o predomínio da cena e uma narração no estilo indireto livre, dando à narrativa mais riqueza e fluidez.O físico representado em Solar reúne um conjunto de traços que valoriza o fato de o protagonista ser um cientista famoso, ganhador do Nobel de Física, sem deixar de apontar os aspectos negativos de sua personalidade, inspirando-se, muitas vezes, em figuras conhecidas da ciência, como Albert Einstein e Paul Dirac. Também foram analisados os diferentes estereótipos utilizados na composição do personagem, entre os quais o fato de o cientista ser um indivíduo insensível, incapaz de relações afetivas, preocupado apenas com o seu trabalho, desprezando profissionais de outras áreas do conhecimento. Ao final, demonstrou-se que as concepções sobre o pensamento científico do protagonista descrevem-no como um físico com uma mentalidade positivista – acredita em uma ciência descolada da presença humana, determinista e casuística – conservador, preconceituoso, com dificuldades de compreender e aceitar novas ideias.

Abstract:
Les personnages d'Ian McEwan sont influencés par le mythe. Les mythes du patriarcat, de la religion, de la sexualité avec ses tabous, du pouvoir illustré par l'état, la police et l'armée jouent un rôle important au sein de ses romans et nouvelles. Le couple idéal, la beauté idéale, la politesse, l'argent, la notoriété, le voyage, le passé avec ses lois ancestrales sont les normes mythiques à respecter. Dans cet univers, la maladie et la mort dérangent. La plupart des protagonistes sont des enfants ou des adolescents dont la liberté est contrecarrée par le soleil qui symbolise le père. Presque tous les personnages souffrent dans cette atmosphère étouffante. De plus, il existe une totale inadéquation entre eux et la société. McEwan insiste sur leurs fantasmes, leurs névroses, le travail du deuil ainsi que sur les notions de désordre et de solitude. A cause de ce malaise, ils se sentent exclus et créent leur propre bonheur en s'adonnant à la boisson ou à la drogue, en fumant, grace à la musique, au yoga etc. . . Ils souffrent de l'absence d'amour. Ce vif désir d'être aimés les pousse à essayer de sortir de leur solitude mais cette tentative les conduit à détruire l'innocence, la beauté et le sacré. En fait, ils trangressent les lois et les tabous. Le viol, l'inceste, les relations lesbiennes, le sadomasochisme, la peur de la procréation, la jalousie, la violence, le meurtre, la misogynie et la castration sont là pour illustrer leurs frustrations, leur besoin d'être aimés aussi bien que l'abus de pouvoir et d'autorité. Les armes stylistiques de McEwan sont la connivence entre décor et personnages, le suspense et l'ironie aussi bien que l'utilisation de l'argot et de métaphores. McEwan cultive l'ambigüité, le silence, l'obsession et le non-dit de par son style. Les personnages donnent l'impression de porter un masque permanent. Ils semblent en fait voués à l'échec car ils n'acceptent pas la réalité ni ses limites. Ils vivent dans un monde imaginaire qui les empêche de communiquer avec autrui. Comme ils ne s'acceptent pas et qu'ils ne s'aiment pas, ils ne peuvent pas aimer ni être aimés en retour
McEwan's characters are influenced by myth. The myths of patriarchy; religion; sexuality and its taboos; power as illustrated by the state, the police and the army, all play an important part in his novels and shorts stories. The idea couple, the ideal of beauty, politeness, money, the desire to make a name for oneself, travelling and the past with its ancestral laws are mythical values to be respected. Illness and death disturb. Most of the protagonists are children or teenagers whose freedom is curbed by the sun which symbolizes the father. Nearly all the characters suffer in a sultry, stifling atmosphere. Moreover, there is a total inadequacy between them and society. McEwan emphasizes all their phantasms and neuroses, the work of mourning as well as the notion of desorder and solitude. They feel exclused and create their own world of happiness by indulging in smoking, drinking, or through drugs, music, yoga etc. . . They suffer from the absence of love. This hankering ofter love pushes them to try to escape solitude but in the attempt they destroy innocence, beauty and all that is sacred. In the process, they trangress laws and taboos. Rape, incest, lesbian relationships, sadomasochism, the fear of procreation, the thirst for knowledge, the failure to become a father, jealousy, violence, murder, misogny and castration are all present to illustrate their frustrations and their need to be loved as well as the abuse of power and the misuse of authority. Mcewan's main stylistic devices are pathetic fallacy, suspence, and irony as well as the use of slang or metaphors. Thanks to his style, ambiguity, silence and obsession pervade the whole work. Some secret is always hidden behing the words and the characters who in turn seem to wear a permanent mask. In fact, the characters appear to be doomed for they cannot accept reality and its limits. They desperately try to transcend time and space. They live in an imaginary world which prevents them from communicating with the people arround them. As they do not accept themselves, nor love themselves, they cannot love nor be loved in return

O presente estudo almeja delinear a maneira pela qual autor e leitor se entrelaçam ao longo da narrativa metaficcional de Serena, de Ian McEwan, podendo tornar-se um só em determinados momentos. Para tanto, far-se-á uma análise com base no conceito de dialogismo de Bakhtin e dos pressupostos teóricos de Foucault, Barthes, Booth, Iser, Jauss, Eco e Piglia, que elucidam os papéis de autor e leitor em relação ao texto. Desse modo, pretende-se compreender na narrativa os vários níveis de leitura que ora se sobrepõem, ora são paralelos entre si, configurando uma investigação em que a análise da relação entre leitor e autor pode ser estendida a toda relação humana: analisar-se mutuamente a todo instante, o outro e a si mesmo. ______________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT
The present study aims to analyze the way in which author and reader relates with each other along the metafictional narrative Sweet Tooth, written by Ian McEwan, and could become one at certain times. To this aim, there will be an analysis based on the concept of dialogism of Bakhtin and the theoretical assumptions of Foucault, Barthes, Booth, Iser, Jauss, and Eco and Piglia, which elucidate the roles of author and reader in relation to the text. Thus, we intend to understand in the narrative the various reading levels which sometimes overlaps herein are parallel to each other by setting up an investigation in which the analysis of the relationship between author and reader can be extended to every human relationship: by analyzing each other every time, the other and your own self.

Para responder a essa pergunta, este trabalho utilizou como corpus o livro Solar, do escritor ingl?s Ian McEwan, e como m?todo de an?lise a An?lise de Conte?do. A fundamenta??o te?rica centrou-se no estudo do conceito de foco narrativo, na identifica??o dos diferentes tipos de narradores e na apresenta??o de uma teoria do personagem, tendo como base, principalmente, as ideias de Mikhail Bakhtin e Antonio Candido. Na an?lise do perfil biogr?fico do autor e dos componentes externos (dedicat?ria e ep?grafe) da obra, constatou-se a presen?a de uma intencionalidade cujo objetivo ? provocar uma reflex?o sobre o problema do aquecimento global. O estudo sobre o foco narrativo de Solar verificou a exist?ncia de um ?autor impl?cito? (BOOTH), o predom?nio da cena e uma narra??o no estilo indireto livre, dando ? narrativa mais riqueza e fluidez. O f?sico representado em Solar re?ne um conjunto de tra?os que valoriza o fato de o protagonista ser um cientista famoso, ganhador do Nobel de F?sica, sem deixar de apontar os aspectos negativos de sua personalidade, inspirando-se, muitas vezes, em figuras conhecidas da ci?ncia, como Albert Einstein e Paul Dirac. Tamb?m foram analisados os diferentes estere?tipos utilizados na composi??o do personagem, entre os quais o fato de o cientista ser um indiv?duo insens?vel, incapaz de rela??es afetivas, preocupado apenas com o seu trabalho, desprezando profissionais de outras ?reas do conhecimento. Ao final, demonstrou-se que as concep??es sobre o pensamento cient?fico do protagonista descrevem-no como um f?sico com uma mentalidade positivista ? acredita em uma ci?ncia descolada da presen?a humana, determinista e casu?stica ? conservador, preconceituoso, com dificuldades de compreender e aceitar novas ideias.
