This paper explores Joyce Carol Oates’ work by applying the theory of Foucault’s Heterotopia to analyze the primary forms and representational meanings of spatial writing of Heterotopia in Oates’ texts.

Exploring the social and literary issues of history and time through the concept of space, Foucault’s Heterotopia theory has become the prized focus of contemporary academic research. In this article, the concepts of Heterotopia, historical transformation, and theore

Abstract:

Abstract It is apodictic that postmodernism gravitates towards fragmented narratives, apparently “real” diegesis and characters in a chaos-ridden frame. The postmodern novel is a “looking glass” that delineates the vertigo instigated by “reality,” which is an artifice that leads to amending interpretations. The paradox of “fictionalizing the reality” creates heterogeneous reverberations among individuals. There is no preconception, but moments of revelation and realization. The theories of language alleviate the transcription of the intense and inevitable relationship between the text and the

Abstract In 1992, the much acclaimed prolific American writer Joyce Carol Oates publishes Black Water – a very harsh and condensed literary reenactment of a gruesome event having taken place more than twenty years before and known as the “Chappaquiddick incident”. Another twenty years later, through her 2012 novel Mudwoman, the author seems to revisit the topic that had haunted her for decades. This paper aims at establishing a certain narrative pattern connecting the two novels not only thematically, but also phantasmatically: the sudden “resurrection” of Joyce Carol Oates’s character in the

Postmodern literary texts have been exploring characters that are whimsically strange. The tacit plots in the postmodern textual space enable the writers to construct and manifest the mental space of the characters in the textual world. The Rise of Life on Earth written by Joyce Carol Oates concocts the emotional estrangement of the protagonist, Kathleen Hennessy. Decrypting the text amplifies the unabating efforts of Kathleen to survive in a world that has been portrayed as a larger, repressive and pernicious family.

Joyce Carol O ates' short story collection M arriages and lnfidelities includes a number of versions of narratives by famous writers. The common theme is, of course, marriage, although "The Sacred Marriage" itself alludes to an spiritual kind of union. Its narrator succeeds at outplanning the audience by selecting a rather improbable way to follow in the story and by introducing apparently impossible events. From the beginning, it is possible to perceive a series of lexical oppositions referring to the setting, intended to make it look like an unreal, dream world. The protagonist, Howard Dean,

Abstract:

Joyce Carol Oates's My Sister, My Love is a fictional memoir inspired by the unsolved murder of JonBenét Ramsey. The novel, told from the perspective of the victim's brother, satirizes the exploitation of children in beauty pageants and the superficiality of suburban life. Through a counter-memory narrative, Oates sheds light on the hidden abuse endured by children, revealing the dark underbelly of a seemingly perfect family. The novel serves as a powerful critique of societal pressures and the devastating consequences for young victims.

Abstract The article proposes a sociological reading of the novel I’ll Take You There by Joyce Carol Oates.

The context of the protagonist’s struggles is provided by the social structure of the early-1960s United States, with its inherent misogyny, anti-Semitism, racism and classism.

She treats the Gothic traditions as an appropriate way to obtain her writing objectives. Instead of sticking to the old Gothic conventions rigidly, she revises it in creative and ingenious ways.
