Abstract:

The aim of this dissertation is to trace the function of parody in the context of Salman Rushdie&rsquo<br>s magical realistic fiction. The magical realism of Rushdie&rsquo<br>s fiction presents a complex Third World experience which constitutes an alternative to, and challenges the Eurocentrism of western culture. The form and content of Rushdie&rsquo<br>s novels are so intense and rich that the whole body of his work comes to the fore, not as an outcome of the two clashing civilisations, that is East and West, but rather as an immense medley of the two cultures.

Abstract:

While much attention has been paid to the events which followed the publication of Salman Rushdie's The Satanic Verses (1988), there has been little detailed examination of the role of Islam in that novel and in the rest of Salman Rushdie's fiction, notably Midnight's Children (1981) and Shame (1983). His portrayals of Islam and Islamic societies are not easily recognizable via the traditional structures of the academic study of Islam. His divergence from the vast majority of Muslim tradition and experience can be seen firstly through his own experiences in India, England, and Pakistan; and se

Abstract:

Salman Rushdie fait figure à la fois de théoricien et de praticien de l'hybridité. Ses romans, qui allient le réalisme à la magie, et le mythe à l'histoire, reflètent sa détermination à créer un langage et des formes littéraires susceptibles de rendre compte de l'expérience des peuples autrefois colonisés. Pour l'auteur, l'hybridité ne joue à plein que lorsqu'elle s'intègre dans une stratégie de subversion qui permet au colonisé de remettre en question le statut de l'autorité coloniale. Le terme "hybridité", qui renvoie implicitement à l'union d'éléments contradictoires, est essentiellement su

Abstract:

Salman Rushdie’s fiction is often celebrated for challenging colonial and postcolonial systems of power and representation, in part through inscriptions of marginalized subject positions that subvert normative assumptions about identity. Our understandings of those subject positions are influenced by the Rushdie persona, a cultural presence that is part author function, part literary celebrity, part writer / thinker in the contemporary marketplace, and part living body under threat. An idea in excess of Rushdie’s lived experience and not entirely within his control, this persona occupies a pos

Abstract:

This dissertation explores the porous boundaries between Salman Rushdie's fiction and the various manifestations of the filmic vision, especially in Midnight's Children, The Satanic Verses, and other selected Rushdie texts. My focus includes a chapter on Midnight's Children, in which I analyze the cinematic qualities of the novel's form, content, and structure. In this chapter I formulate a theory of the post-colonial novel which notes the hybridization of Rushdie's fiction, which process reflects a fragmentation and hybridization in Indian culture.

Né en Inde, puis émigré en Grande-Bretagne, Salman Rushdie est devenu, depuis la publication des Enfants de minuit en 1981, l'un des chefs de file de la littérature indo-angliane ; littérature qui s'est principalement donnée pour mission de mettre en lumière les paradoxes inhérents à l'écriture " du retour ", issue de la théorie postcoloniale. Rushdie reste un exemple fascinant de ces contradictions, lui qui a choisi de quitter l'Inde puis, à la suite de l'exil forcé dans son propre pays d'adoption en 1989 par la fatwa (qui le condamnait à mort pour propos blasphématoires), a fini par réappren

Cette these explore le travail de creation romanesque de salman rushdie. La lecture de son Œuvre de 1981 a 2005 (romans, nouvelles mais aussi essais, selection d'articles et d'entretiens) revele un ecrivain qui developpe une " poetique du passage " et la theorise. Endossant les roles de conteur, d'historien et de satiriste, le romancier cree un espace proteiforme de reflexion sur les representations (en particulier, l'histoire, les arts et les recits sacres). Cette poetique se construit dans une tension entre l'Œuvre romanesque et le statut d'intellectuel de rushdie dans le monde contemporain.

The twenty-first century has seen a resurgence of academic interest in biopolitics: the often oppressive political power over human biology, human bodies and their actions that emerges when political technologies concern themselves with and act upon a population as a species rather than as a group of individuals. The publication of new works by theorists including Michel Foucault, Giorgio Agamben, Roberto Esposito, Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri has furthered academic understanding of biopolitical attempts to ensure an orderly, productive society.

This thesis argues that the shortcomings of modernist liberal defences of Salman Rushdie's The Satanic Verses have helped to draw debate over the book into a stalemate. It also attempts to demonstrate how aspects of this stalemate might be broken. Chapter One contains a brief philosophical survey of the debate, juxtaposing the framework relativism propounded by Rushdie and many of his advocates with the absolutism of Rushdie's Muslim detractors. The chapter closes with an analysis of the contradictions present in Rushdie's relativistic defence of his novel.<br>Chapter Two opens with a short ar

This work examines the fiction of Salman Rushdie--Grimus, Midnight's Children, Shame and The Satanic Verses, and its complex narrative structure. Fictional narrative is discussed in terms of structuralist theory using studies by Mieke Bal, Seymour Chatman and Gerald Prince. Historical narrative is analyzed through the writings of the philosophers of history, Hayden White, Louis O. Mink and Paul Ricoeur. These theories are applied to the fiction of Salman Rushdie in order to investigate his use of narrative. It is concluded that he uses a combination of historical and fictional narrative in ord

Dans ce monde baroque, instable et chancelant, le vacillement est maintenu par la convergence du centre et de la périphérie, qui deviennent deux formes du bord.

Abstract:

This thesis is a selective study of Postmodern literature, focusing on the work of Alasdair Gray and Salman Rushdie. Postmodern literature is an expression of and response to the profound uncertainty that characterises the late-twentieth century. The works of many diverse authors attempt to come to terms with the Postmodern situation, which Jürgen Habermas has described as `the legitimation crisis'.
