Abstract:

Nathaniel Hawthorne's view of his first American ancestors as belonging to a grim and gloomy race, impatient with human weaknesses and merciless towards transgressors, reflects a wide-spread popular attitude towards the Massachusetts Bay colonists. Indeed, Hawthorne's contribution to the construction and perpetuation of this view is not inconsiderable. Hawthorne frankly confesses to his own family descent from one of the “hanging judges” of the Salem witchcraft trials, and he does not spare any instance of persecution, obsession, or cruelty regarding the community led by his paternal ancestors

Abstract:

In Against the Day, Pynchon is obsessed with twoness, double worlds, as well as dual realities, and like Deleuze’s concept of repetition, these duplications and twinships are not merely repetition of the same, rather they allow for creativity, reinvention, and becoming. Pynchon’s duplication of fictional and spectral characters intends to critique the notion of identity as does Deleuzian concept of repetition. Not attached to the representational concept of identity as the recurrence of the same, Pynchon’s duplications decenter the transcendental concept in favor of a perpetual becoming and re

Abstract:

Twentieth-century literary representations of objects that fall from the sky include technological, man-made items as well as natural phenomena. Writers have contributed their specific readings to instances of this kind, and have grafted specific symbolic meanings on these phenomena. The falling object in question can be a supersonic rocket like the one that constitutes the thematic center of the American novelist Thomas Pynchon’s 1973 Gravity’s Rainbow. It may likewise be a celestial body, a larger and usually more destructive one than a mere meteor — a bolide, in other words, like the one Br

Abstract:

Summary: In light of Salvador Dalí’s manifold activities during his sojourn in the United States, it seems surprising that so little scholarly attention has been devoted to the wide influence of Dalí’s oeuvre on the American culture of the post-war period. This essay ventures to investigate the stylistic and thematic impact of his imagery and his theoretical writings on the culture of Postmodernism, and more specifically, on postmodern American literature, exemplified in the works of Thomas Pynchon. After a brief overview of Dalí’s activities in the United States and of general common ground o

Abstract:

This article pertains to the recent upsurge of interest in the politics of Thomas Pynchon. It considers Pynchon as an author very much of the 1960s counterculture, and explores the countercultural values and ideals expressed in Gravity's Rainbow, with particular emphasis on revealing the novel's attitude to the Black Panther Party. Close textual analysis suggests Pynchon's essential respect for Huey P. Newton's concept of revolutionary suicide, and his contempt for Marxist dialectical materialism, two core elements of Panther political theory. Drawing on an analogy between the BPP and Pynchon'

Abstract:

AbstractIt is tempting to read Thomas Pynchon’s sprawling masterpiece Gravity’s Rainbow—with its shell-shocked refugees fleeing across a missile-pocked, post-war landscape—as an eschatological text that plays out religious end-times scenarios. However, an invented citation from the non-canonical Gospel of Thomas included as a chapter epigraph—“Dear Mom, I put a couple of people in hell today”—suggests that we should do otherwise. In grafting a playful fragment about Jesus, judgment, and hell onto Thomas, Pynchon parodies a common need to read eschatological themes back into non-eschatological

Abstract:

Although Thomas Pynchon has continued to publish long after the postwar American countercultural era, his politics are critically characterized in relation to that movement's values. The dominant critical positions associate power with rationalism and functionality, and political opposition with creativity and pleasure, positioning Pynchon's novels at a politicized intersection between postmodernism and the counterculture. This article problematizes this dominant critical position, taking Mason & Dixon (1997) as exemplary of Pynchon's reconsideration of the nature of power and potential op

Abstract:

Neste artigo, estuda-se o papel das citações literárias no romance Gravity’s Rainbow de Thomas Pynchon, assim como na respectiva tradução húngara, analisando um conjunto de citações seleccionadas dos poemas tardios de Rainer Maria Rilke no romance. Primeiramente, explora-se a noção de intertextualidade conforme desenvolvida pelo círculo Tel Quel, para demonstrar que se trata de uma característica definidora da escrita pós-modernista de Pynchon. Em seguida, propõe-se uma leitura dos vários contextos e conotações que as Elegias de Duíno de Rilke evocam no texto de Pynchon. É meu propósito destac
