Full textIn Moby-Dick; or, The Whale, written by Herman Melville, in 1851, the pequod meets nine other ships at sea. The meetings, supposed to be "gams", do not correspond to Melville's definition of the word. Through a detailed study of the text, i try to show that the gams are to be viewed beyond the narrative frame properly speaking, that they are very well structured, and that they represent the book in miniature. They are closely related to the problems of language and writing, which constitute the main part of my introduction. The meaning of the white whale is their main objective, and through that quest, the narrator questions whiteness, creation, transcendence, life and death, absence and nothingness. Both narrator and reader are involved in the initiatic path imposed by the gams. Through the play atmosphere that pervades the gam-chapters, the narrator topples judeo-christian values to build a world of his own in which he rehabilitates whatever is rejected by western traditions, e. G. Castaways and faeces. At the heart of the symbolic web of the gams, is the digestive process, which melville elaborates fully, and, through cross-checkings with gnosis, alchemy and digestion myths, as well as through the christ image, he attempts at abolishing any dichotomy between the human and the divine, matter and spirit etc. In his search for the transcendent, the narrator will discover his own unity and identity within the limits of human experience and of matter. If the nine meetings of the pequod are characterized by the absence of any communication, the word "gam", different in meaning, symbolizes coincidentia oppositorum and initiatic communication between opposite poles

Full textWhether it deals with paintings and etchings or hieroglyphics, the novel is marked by a multiplicity of representations. Literary representation turns out to be under the rule of the principle of narcissism, which governs all the duplicates and mirroring effects in Melville fiction. The play of the writing allows the representation of the self according to a process which destroys the narcissistic plenitude of the "infans" subject but contributes at the same time to constitute the subject. But as a written mark, the letter is far from establishing a pre-determined relation with the object it refers to, and allows a fundamental indeterminacy. Such a conception contributes to the deconstruction of a traditional and theological vision of the production of the writing. The problem of representation cannot be separated from that of meaning and of the deciphering of sings. Moby-dick shows the process of the interpretation of an image or a text : meaning is not given, but has to be constructed by the interpret. In this sense Melville text can be considered as the representation of a linguistic system, in this case culioli's enunciative theory

Full textThrough an analytical and interpretative study of Herman Melvilles Moby-Dick I intend to formulate and clarify the historical turning point of the American novel, specifically what is deemed the most radical effort of an American writer to bring a comprehensive study on society into novelistic form. In order to accomplish that, I reconsider some of the features of Moby-Dick that strongly appealed to the times. First the ideological crisis of the 1840s, when the equalitarian revolutionary ideals of the Independence were finally confronted by the consequences of the U.S. being fully compromised to the Industrial Revolution and the capitalistic worldwide system. This is a central issue in Redburn (1849) and White-Jacket (1850), both novels where some major features of Moby-Dick are anticipated and firstly tested. Second, I scrutinize the concept of frontier -- a national identity issue that can be traced back to the Puritan 17th century errand into the wilderness that is strongly attached in the age of Melville to the ideological making of American imperialism. Besides, it also has had a major role in the crystallization of culturally specific perspectives on property and the establishment of social classes. Finally, I reconsider the notions of technique and labor, directly implied in the whaling industry and in a more general way in the marching of American civilization towards the West, which has had a strong impact on the understanding of the social significance of free labor and its coexistence with slavery. With those things under consideration, and through the surmises of the Critical Theory and the Brazilian tradition of social and literary criticism as well, it is my aim to shed light on some esthetical features of the novel, particularly on the tragic structure (as opposed to the epic) that defines the career of Pequods Captain Ahab and his obsessive chasing of Moby Dick, and the constitution of a self-reflexive narrator, the survivor Ishmael, who recalls the past of the catastrophe in order to attack the social reproduction of its conditions in the present.
