Samuel Beckett's Peristaltic Modernism, 1932-1958 Adam
‘FIRST DIRTY, THEN MAKE CLEAN’: SAMUEL BECKETT’S PERISTALTIC MODERNISM, 1932-1958 ADAM MICHAEL WINSTANLEY PhD THE UNIVERSITY OF YORK DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH AND RELATED LITERATURE MARCH 2013 1 ABSTRACT Drawing together a number of different recent approaches to Samuel Beckett’s studies, this thesis examines the convulsive narrative trajectories of Beckett’s prose works from Dream of Fair to Middling Women (1931-2) to The Unnamable (1958) in relation to the disorganised muscular contractions of peristalsis. Peristalsis is understood here, however, not merely as a digestive process, as the ‘propulsive movement of the gastrointestinal tract and other tubular organs’, but as the ‘coordinated waves of contraction and relaxation of the circular muscle’ (OED). Accordingly, this thesis reconciles a number of recent approaches to Beckett studies by combining textual, phenomenological and cultural concerns with a detailed account of Beckett’s own familiarity with early twentieth-century medical and psychoanalytical discourses. It examines the extent to which these discourses find a parallel in his work’s corporeal conception of the linguistic and narrative process, where the convolutions, disavowals and disjunctions that function at the level of narrative and syntax are persistently equated with medical ailments, autonomous reflexes and bodily emissions. Tracing this interest to his early work, the first chapter focuses upon the masturbatory trope of ‘dehiscence’ in Dream of Fair to Middling Women, while the second examines cardiovascular complaints in Murphy (1935-6). The third chapter considers the role that linguistic constipation plays in Watt (1941-5), while the fourth chapter focuses upon peristalsis and rumination in Molloy (1947). The penultimate chapter examines the significance of epilepsy, dilation and parturition in the ‘throes’ that dominate Malone Dies (1954-5), whereas the final chapter evaluates the significance of contamination and respiration in The Unnamable (1957-8).

JEREMY PARROTT (Szeged ) ‘CHANGE ALL THE NAMES’: A SAMUEL BECKETT ONOMASTICON Abstract. If the question – ‘Why a Samuel Beckett onomasticon?’ needs posing at all, then the simplest response is to refer the questioner to the titles of Beckett’s novels in their sequence of composition: Murphy , Watt , Mercier and Camier , Mol - loy , Malone Dies and The Unnamable . Naming, and the search for a ‘real’ name, constitutes a crucial component of Beckett’s literary project. He famously claimed that he had nothing to express, but that nothing which he nonetheless expressed is none other than the name-negation, succinctly encapsulated in the French ho - mophone pair of nom and non . The title of my book, Change All the Names , comes from the addenda to Watt , where this gnomic 4-word imperative appears, intended either as an exhortation to the reader or as a memo from the author to himself. I decided to take Beckett at his word and to seek (and find) hidden mean - ings in virtually every act of naming that he engaged in. My own project, begun as a doctoral dissertation on naming in Beckett’s fiction, and com - pleted out of pure love with work on his plays, has the aim of identifying and analyzing all the characternyms that populate the world that Beckett named. The term ‘characternym’ therefore explicitly excludes toponyms, but includes animal names (e.g. a dog called Teddy and a parrot called Polly) and the names of entities which may or may not exist (e.g. Godot and the Obidil). The names of figures from history, mythology, literature etc.

Transcript of Samuel Beckett: A Conversation, with Ian Rickson, and Mark Taylor-Batty, at the Minghella Building, University of Reading, October 3rd 2013, 7.30pm. Please note that this transcript has been lightly edited by Anna McMullan, Ian Rickson, and Mark Taylor-Batty. Welcome and Introduction by Sir David Bell, the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Reading. My name is David Bell and I am the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Reading. It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to this event this evening and to those of you who are visiting the university for the very first time, a special welcome. We are celebrating both the 25th anniversary of the establishment of the Beckett International Foundation and the launch of a new Beckett research project. Although I promise not to keep you too long this evening because you are all eagerly waiting the main event I think it is just important to spend a moment or two describing a little bit about our Beckett history, decidedly one of the most significant jewels in the University's crown, our Beckett archive, itself set up in 1971. I guess that was the first step in the beginning of our now proud and internationally renowned presence in the Beckett world. Now the world's largest collection of resources related to Samuel Beckett, this archive is recognised as being of national and international importance by the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council. It was created by a small team of passionate Beckett scholars; spear-headed, I think it's fair to say, by the now Emeritus Professor James Knowlson and Jim is here this evening with us.

Le Memorie Di Un Film Notfilm Di Ross Lipman
Venezia Arti [online] ISSN 2385-2720 Vol. 26 – Dicembre 2017 [print] ISSN 0394-4298 Le memorie di un Film Notfilm di Ross Lipman Martina Zanco Abstract It’s been five decades since Film was first shown at the 26th edition of the Venice International Film Festival. Yet the 1965 short film, directed by Alain Schneider and based on the only script written for the big screen by Samuel Beckett, enjoys a new wave of interest. Digitally restored in 4k by filmmaker, archivist, preservationist and performer Ross Lipman, Film has began to tour the world once again, showing in many theaters, festivals and Cinematheques thanks to the tireless work of newly founded distribution company Reading Bloom and, well established, Milestone Films. This has re-opened discussion on the enigmatic short feature that, inspired from the metaphysical doctrine of irish philosopher George Berkeley, esse est percipi, sees an ‘Object’ (that is, the main character portrayed by Buster Keaton ) shadowed by an ‘Eye’. The main interest though, is in part due to the kino-essay, which is not a simple documentary, by Ross Lipman. In Notfilm, a documentary showed after Film at every screening, the director shows us the unseen cuts, unreleased material, photos, notes and audio recordings he rediscovered during the restoration process of the short film that raise an array of new, challenging questions (is Beckett Keaton alter ego?). Furthermore, this cine-essay seems to have another hidden layer, seemingly more ambitious and personal, that tries to go beyond Film itself. This is an aspect that, I think, is worth investigating.

First of all, writers Guy Debord and William Burroughs reinvented appropriation art practice as a means of critiquing retrograde mass media entertainments and reportage.

“Certain Vowel Sounds”: Beckett's Not I and Lacanian Phonemics Mark Webster Hall Structuralist Interpretations of Language
“Certain Vowel Sounds”: Beckett’s Not I and Lacanian Phonemics Mark Webster Hall Structuralist interpretations of language characteristically focus on the sys- tems in which speech sounds emerge rather than on the existence of such sounds as acoustic particles. Neither are such interpretations typically in- terested in the vocal machineries which body the individual speech parti- cles forth. The real breakthrough of Ferdinand de Saussure in this regard was, as Danny Nobus makes clear, the linguist‘s zeroing in ―more on the meaningful function of sounds than on their anatomo-physiological basis.‖1 Where the domain of parole is a raw hubbub of noises and spittle, we may say that that of langue is relatively frictionless and quiet. Structuralist lin- guistics distances itself from involvement with a history of particular acous- tic collisions which would otherwise abort the attention given to language per se. ―The linguistic sign,‖ as Richard Boothby notes, ―must evacuate its own status as an image in order to fulfil its signifying function. The percep- tual body of the sign is merely a point of entrance, a kind of jumping-off point for structured reverberation across the network of relations that con- stitutes the sign system.‖2 Saussure‘s groundwork on the linguistic sign can thus be understood, in part, in terms of its displacement and marginalisa- tion within the field of inquiry of the individual speech sound. Equally down- played in the structuralist account is the ―locus of emission‖ of these singu- lar vocalisations, namely the speech apparatus itself.3 What matters is the abstract network; certainly, the acoustic mark is recognised as leading to that network, but it does not become a meaningful unit of language until (in COLLOQUY text theory critique 25 (2013).

The imposing amounts of critical material bear witness to the richness of his writings, which present a wealth of themes and techniques. His plays concentrate for us the problem-themes that already concerned him in his earlier prose works, and bring them to the stage in a more streamlined form. The essential problem which evolves from Beckett's own earlier writings comes to the fore, downstage, in the plays: it is that of being in time, a purgatorial state, the lot of mankind and of Beckett's characters, who are representative of mankind.

Klein had drenched a canvas in his patented International Klein Blue and named it IKB 81. Apparently, there were 81 others like it and dozens more afterwards. My friend, who first introduced me to Klein had a large smile on his face and remarked, “This is considered a masterpiece”. I could not help but laugh at the seemingly insignificant work. It seemed ridiculous at the time that a monochrome painting could express anything beyond an artist’s obsession with the color blue. I had a very similar reaction when introduced to Tommy Wiseau's feature film, The Room. Not that in that moment anyone had argued for the film's position as a masterful work of art but that I laughed hysterically during the entire viewing. In coming years, I would rewatch The Room, showing it to friends and relatives who had not seen it before, each time excited to watch it again with them.
