Abstract:

This paper presents an analysis of the poetic text of The Waste Land by T.S. Eliot through the empirical application of theoretical concepts of intertextuality, derived from the intertextual semiotic theory of poetry by Michael (Michel) Riffaterre. In the first part of this paper, we sought to provide a reliable framework for the theoretical definition of intertextuality, starting with the introduction of the neologism of intertextuality by Julia Kristeva, through the concept of general intertextuality considered in the light of postmodern poststructuralist and deconstructive theory of Roland Barthes and Jacques Derrida, to consideration of the concept of specific intertextuality limited to the domain of literature within Riffaterre's intertextual semiotics of poetry. In the second part of the paper, we tried to apply on the poetic text of The Waste Land some of the basic theoretical postulates of Riffaterre's understanding of intertextuality, which include a referential interpretation of the text aimed at the reader on the basis of hermeneutic phenomenology that leads the interpretation of a literary poetic text to a specific meaning. When approaching the analysis of the poetic text of The Waste Land, we based our analysis on the premise set by Cleanth Brooks. More precisely, we focused on the central axis of the poetic meaning of the poem, according to which the Christian material is at the center, but the poet never deals with it directly. Therefore, Brooks' initial premise led our interpretation of the poetic text towards the recognition of adequate biblical hypograms as variants of the hidden matrix of the text, where we noticed ungrammaticalities as stylistic and semantic anomalies in relation to the initially established negative idiolect of the text on the mimetic level of interpretation, and then, by moving to the semiotic level of interpretation, we connected the observed grammaticalities through the biblical intertext with the unique intertextual structure of the poem and the matrix that represents the reduced poetic meaning of the poem. Thus, grammaticalities as deviations from the real became poetic signs that make the descriptive poetic text of The Waste Land, in which symbolic discourse is literarily dominant and, in accordance with the assumed matrix, profoundly religious. Thanks to the analysis of the deep semantic-verbal structure of the text, we realized that hypograms were recognized with the help of the polarization process, a variant of the matrix that spreads the poetic meaning to equivalent lexical-grammatical elements of the text, forming a common intertextual network. At the very end of this paper, it is important to emphasize that this analysis of the poetic text of The Waste Land was formed on the basis of a reader's sociolect based on the views of the Christian faith. Therefore, if there were no divine protagonist as the subject of our presumed variant of the matrix, then the presumed deep structure of this poem by T.S. Eliot would be unconvincing. However, the possible bias expressed through the influence of the Christian sociolect in this type of analysis of the poetic text is not a consequence of an arbitrary act of the reader, but it is derived from the receptivity of the poetic text of the poem The Waste Land for empirical application of Riffaterre's semiotic principles of intertextual theory of poetry, which brought the religious-metaphysical meaning of the poem to the surface beneath the layers of referential delusions.

Abstract:

Eliot's lifestyle exemplifies his religion. The community that the book provides enables not just Eliot to gratify his own aspirations but also enables others to arrive at similar realizations and locate their place. The work is the culmination of Eliot's lengthy quest for structure and wonder in literature. In spite of Eliot's assertion that the letter in question is neither a manifesto nor a plea to society, its contents suggest otherwise. This work is a reflection of his quest to comprehend the inexplicable as well as his transition from Eastern philosophy, which he explored in The Waste Land and Four Quartets, to Western Christianity, which he adhered to until the very end of his life. The world we live in today is ethically bankrupt, and as a result, the physical takes precedence over the spiritual. The end outcome is a psychological imbalance, a crisis, and decadence. The contemporary surroundings of the waste landers and their unthinking dedication to want, which they believe will fill the gap in their psyches, are the root causes of the spiritual conflict that they face. The poet is looking for psychological coherence. The progression from "The Burial of the Dead" to "What the Thunder Said" alludes to the idea of an individual's eventual salvation from within. The ending of "The Waste Land" ushers in a new way of being in the world. Religion helps the contemporary man find transcendence, inner quiet, and coherence in a time when science, atheism, and sexual liberation are the prevailing worldviews. Religion has the power to ease the suffering of the person and unite his fragmented self into a unified and harmonious whole. Eliot looks to several religious practices for comfort. The idea of travel plays a significant role throughout Eliot's poem. When seen through the lens of an individual's pursuit of psychological and spiritual wholeness, the poem demonstrates forward movement.

Abstract:

One of the most important literary figures of the twentieth century, T.S. Eliot, lived in a time marked by not just two terrible and dreadful world wars but also by fast mechanization, industrialization, urbanization, and, certainly, mass consumerism. Eliot was a dedicated student of philosophy who showed a particularly keen interest in the Eastern belief system. This study will attempt to examine T. S. Eliot’s epoch-making poem ‘The Waste Land’ and its connection with South Asian culture and ideology. In order to understand the crises of post-war modern European civilization, reflected in the poem as spiritual decline, treachery, deception, and skepticism, Eliot drew upon certain sources that could counter the wisdom of the West. Eliot along with his poetic vision as well as sensibility manifests in the Bhagwad Gita, Upanishads, Vedas, Patanjali’s Sutras, Buddhism, and so forth. East, for Eliot, is a glimmer of hope for a world afflicted by its own spiritual problems. The influence of South Asian perception can be identified throughout the poem. The paper will attempt to foreground that the cultural integration of the East and the West has been addressed in a secular spirit rather than being in conflict.

Abstract:

One of the notable trends in contemporary T. S. Eliot studies is the comparative study of Eliot’s works from various perspectives (influence, interaction, typology, contexts, etc.). The methodological principles of this research are determined by the orientation of comparative studies toward the typological study of literary phenomena. The paper deals with the parallels between two most important poetic texts of the 20th century: The Twelve by A. A. Blok (1918) and The Waste Land by T. S. Eliot (1922). The texts under study belong to the same cultural period and are united by similar artistic principles and vision of the world. The purpose of this paper is to reveal the points of intersection of two poetic universes in one research space. Both poets were the witnesses of colossal civilization collapses: the Great War and the Russian Revolution. Both poets had a ‘sense of history’, which made it possible for them to foresee and depict the Decline of Europe in poetic form, to convey the ‘noise of time’ in all its polyphony of meanings and rhythms. The authors of both poems went similar aesthetic trajectories, which can be designated as the way ‘from symbolism to modernism’. Both Blok and Eliot were poets-playwrights, creators of their own theories of poetic drama, hence the dramatic plot and many colorful characters in The Twelve and The Waste Land. In their post-war poems, both poets created the language of the modern city, using its rhythms, experimented with poetic form. The paper reveals and analyzes a number of similar motifs in The Twelve and The Waste Land: an apocalyptic vision of modernity, West and East, Eros and Thanatos.

Abstract:

T. S. Eliot’s ‘The Waste Land’, a multifaceted piece of art has five parts comprising 433 lines which not only throws light on the mechanical, immoral, and untraditional life of the wastelanders but also suggests the way to salvation. Eliot started spewing quotes like a mentally disturbed person and created a very lengthy work. This original draft was edited by Ezra Pound who has cut almost half the portion of this social document. It is worthwhile to search how Eliot presents the real picture of modern society through these personal sufferings. Interestingly, Eliot with the help of Ezra Pound universalizes his pains and agonies through references, allusions, and quotes from the past. In reality, the first three sections of this long poem spotlight human miseries due to a lack of moral and spiritual values. Surprisingly, these tribulations are still prevalent in society even after 100 years of the publication of this masterpiece of Eliot. At the same time, the valuable suggestions from the last two parts especially the last are relevant in the present scenario also. It is worth mentioning that even today after a century, Eliot’s views of self-purification and self-discipline are noticeable as they can lead to a good moral society if each individual purifies and disciplines himself. In other words, the present paper is an attempt to draw that the study of the past can derive a solution for a better future for the whole world including every individual.

Abstract:

T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) employs colors to depict various shades of emotions of the post-World War I in Europe in his ‘The Waste Land’ (1922). On the one hand, the poetic treatment of colors indicates the plight of the world; on the other, the colors embody the myths of the ancient world and help deepen the meaning of the text. The poetic genius employs Tiresias as the persona who can travel through time and space bringing together different hues of the world into a single collage. Eliot’s choice of color reveals to the modern audience the deeper schema that he builds to represent the devastated state of Europe after World War I. Having lived the life of both a woman and a man, the protagonist has been blessed with the power to foresee things despite his blindness. The seer weaves a garland of colors in ‘The Waste Land’ to represent the damage the War had in the soul of the people, in the value system of the society, and in the changing socio-political reality of the time. In this paper, I contend that Eliot uses color symbolism in the poem to enforce the modernist ethos of the fragmented world where the lynchpins are missing. Through close reading of the text, I analyse the language to arrive at the conclusion that Eliot’s use of colors reveals a whole, new spectrum of meanings.

Abstract:

T. S. Eliot’s poem ‘The Waste Land’ delves into the theme of self-reflexivity, portraying the lives of individuals alienated and isolated due to World War I. Many suffered from paranoia, leading lives devoid of purpose. The poem paints a vivid picture of the social characteristics of people in London during this period. T. S. Eliot, influenced by Indian philosophy, drew references from Hindu texts, offering a glimmer of hope. It suggests persevering through life with compassion, extending charity, and mastering inner thoughts to attain inner peace. This philosophy is captured in the resonant word ‘DA’, symbolizing the sound of thunder. It echoes thrice, representing ‘Datta’ (charity), ‘Dayadvata’ (compassion towards others), and ‘Damyata’ (control over inner thoughts). Despite the fragmented psyche of humanity post World War I, Eliot held hope for positive transformations in the years to come, contingent on people’s faith in God and the power of prayer.

Abstract:

After the World War-1, there spread chaos and disillusionment in society, faith got shattered and life became meaningless. Jean-Paul Sartre’s version of Existentialism is based on this meaninglessness and absurdity. Man faces an absurd and meaningless existence in this chaotic world. Thus these two are the main tropes of Sartre’s philosophy. T. S. Eliot also lived in that chaotic age and composed his long narrative poem The Waste Land (1930) after the World War. This poem is based on the consequences of the war that caused absurdity and chaos depriving human life of real significance and value. This study explores and analyses these aspects of meaninglessness and absurdity in The Waste Land (1930) in the light of Sartre’s philosophy and contends to say that almost all of the characters presented in the poem encounter meaningless and chaotic lives. Their lives are without any real purpose and are quite insignificant in a chaotic and disorderly world. So the land is full of the waste only. This meaningless life is nothing but a heap of the waste. By presenting this picture of chaotic life, Eliot intends to forward a solution in the form of rebirth of the lost religious faith and moral values. This research is significant because the aspects of meaninglessness and absurdity accurately relate to our current times where human beings face real existential threat and the significance of life is being lost. This awareness may lead to an immediate solution. Moreover, this study may provoke further research in this area in order to bring out the relevance of literary texts to all times and human life everywhere.

This work aims at analysing the Anglo-American poet and essayist Thomas Stearns Eliot s use of intertextuality in his poem The Waste Land, published in 1922.Our analysis focuses on myth and its function within the poem. We have chosen four myths, three of them Pagan (Sibila, Tiresias and The Fisher King) and one Christian (The Holy Grail). The latter has a deep relationship to The Fisher King myth. We will mention theoretical concepts referring to intertextuality and myth and will present a survey of the poem as a whole. We will also report form briefly on the political-social situation of Europe at the time in which the poem was written, and the poet s main achievements in his career. Our next focus will be the analysis of the above mentioned myths as well as their function and relevance within the context of the poem.

La tesis propone que el poema La Tierra Baldía es la dolorosa expresión del colapso de una época y la síntesis del derrumbe de la mujer; que T.S. Eliot, apoyándose en la inversión de las leyendas del Grial, logró fusionar con su propia tragedia personal. El poema sería la evidencia de la esterilidad y el fracaso del amor entre un hombre y una mujer, configurada poéticamente teniendo a la base una riquísima simbología sobre la infertilidad, el vacío y la muerte; en la que el sexo, por su radical función generativa y amorosa, ocupa un lugar eminente aunque no exclusivo.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis explores the generic affiliations ofT. S. Eliot's The Waste Land, investigating the logic of the text's fragmentary aesthetics, while also highlighting the political ends met by literary genres. Eliot's avant-garde experimentation with genres.i.n The Waste Land makes the. poem generica.1ly obscure. Yet the key to the text's generic.. rationale could be its very fragmentariness. The building blocks ofthe historical . romance can be sought in the poem's fnigmentary passages, while a tendency to 'exceed' temporal and aesthetic boundaries makes it a 'post-modem romance'. The text also parodies certain elements of romance; used in its post-modem sense, the technique of 'parody' connotes a stylistic confrontation with the past - one that establishes a dialogUe with the historical 'other' - and challenging its intimidating legacy, re-writes the present in a self-reflexive enterprise. Echoes ofromance are then 'historicized' to map the poem's 'political unconscious', as the scattered, irrepressible corpses throughout the poem's psychological landscape embody the aftermath of a destructive' war, hinting at the relationship between literary form and the socio-'political milieu. .':fragmentation as incarnated in the poem's proliferating mini-narratives thus' becomes an anticipation ofthe eclipse ofmeta-narrative inthe 'post-modem condition'. A structuralist perspective also allows establishing the poem's affinities with Menippean satire, the genre through which the logic of carnival is transmitted to literature. The notion of 'carnival' is used as. an analytic metaphor for examining the implications of . the premeditated suspension ofgeneric hierarchies in the poem: The carnivalesque also proves a useful cultural analytic for mapping domains of 'transgression' in Eliot's theory and practice. Constantly undermining the 'law ofgenre', the text also encapsulates the ultimate non-fixity of generic boundaries. The. thesis takes literary genres beyond their traditional role as taxonomic categories, and demonstrates their communicative value as a means ofpolitical representation.

Abstract:

2022 was marked by the 100th anniversary of the publication of two literary creations that over time were appreciated as emblematic works of modernism. They are James Joyce’s famous novel Ulysses and Thomas Stearns Eliot’s poem The Waste Land. The latter had an overwhelming impact on subsequent poetry, propelling the author to the top of the hierarchy of poets of the 20th century, although in that era it was perceived as an obscure poetic creation, thus contradicting the literary criticism of the time. In the process of elaboration of his innovative work in both message and form, T. S. Eliot was deeply influenced by the suggestions of his friend, the great American poet Ezra Pound who had the role of mentor for the English author also born in the United States, as he was actively involved in the drafting of the outstanding poem The Waste Land. Through this creation of his, T. S. Eliot asserted himself as a voice of special resonance that highlighted the disintegration, being thus considered an apostle of postmodernism. It is welcome to mention that for an adequate interpretation of this far-reaching work of the last century, it is necessary to clarify and apply the concept of „objective correlative” which was theorized by the same T. S. Eliot in his essay concerning Hamlet.
