Examining Don DeLillo’s Cosmopolis, this essay develops an alternative approach to the politics of literature that attends to the style and form of the novel. The form and style of Cosmopolis emphasize the novel’s own dissonance with the world it criticizes; they moreover suggest a politics of poetic world­making intent on eliciting collective agency over the commonness of language.

  • 'Little Terrors'
    Don DeLillo’s Promiscuous Fictions: The Adulterous Triangle of Sex, Space, and Language Diana Marie Jenkins A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The School of English University of NSW, December 2005 This thesis is dedicated to the loving memory of a wonderful grandfather, and a beautiful niece. I wish they were here to see me finish what both saw me start. Contents Acknowledgements 1 Introduction 2 Chapter One 26 The Space of the Hotel/Motel Room Chapter Two 81 Described Space and Sexual Transgression Chapter Three 124 The Reciprocal Space of the Journey and the Image Chapter Four 171 The Space of the Secret Conclusion 232 Reference List 238 Abstract This thesis takes up J. G. Ballard’s contention, that ‘the act of intercourse is now always a model for something else,’ to show that Don DeLillo uses a particular sexual, cultural economy of adultery, understood in its many loaded cultural and literary contexts, as a model for semantic reproduction. I contend that DeLillo’s fiction evinces a promiscuous model of language that structurally reflects the myth of the adulterous triangle. The thesis makes a significant intervention into DeLillo scholarship by challenging Paul Maltby’s suggestion that DeLillo’s linguistic model is Romantic and pure. My analysis of the narrative operations of adultery in his work reveals the alternative promiscuous model. I discuss ten DeLillo novels and one play – Americana, Players, The Names, White Noise, Libra, Mao II, Underworld, the play Valparaiso, The Body Artist, Cosmopolis, and the pseudonymous Amazons – that feature adultery narratives.

  • Review: Paul Giaimo, Appreciating Don Delillo
    Paul Giaimo, Appreciating Don DeLillo, Praeger, Santa Barbara, 2011; pp.188; RRP US$44.95 hardback. Paul Giaimo’s Appreciating Don DeLillo: The Moral Force of a Writer’s Work is a study of morality and religion in Don DeLillo’s oeuvre of fiction. Giaimo continues Amy Hungerford and John Paul Russo’s insights into the trope of religion, but vitally fleshes it out into a book-length examination of DeLillo’s Jesuit influences. As Giaimo states in the preface, his purpose centres on the ‘underlying moral lessons of DeLillo’s work’ (p.v). Such an investigation into the novelist’s religious roots and consequential literary influences is well overdue in DeLillo scholarship. With the book divided into seven chapters, I now give attention to each turn. In Chapter 1, ‘Don DeLillo and the Novel – Neither Modern nor Postmodern’, Giaimo makes the case that ‘DeLillo’s tendency is to show some elements of mimetic realism as well as those features of modernism and postmodernism’ (p.1). He begins by rightly noting that the defining trend of DeLillo criticism is to align his works with postmodernism, and he deviates from this through a discussion of the unflattering presentation of postmodern theorists in DeLillo’s works. He states clearly that ‘[n]either modernism nor postmodernism really applies as a label for DeLillo’s work’ (p.16), and shows how DeLillo’s characters’ self- destruction and lack of morality are detrimental to their lives, although hope continues as a ‘potent moral force’ (p.21). Chapter 2 delves into fascinating examples of morality presented in DeLillo’s early novels, Americana, Great Jones Street, Ratner’s Star, Running Dog, and Players.

  • Staging Delillo
    Staging DeLillo Rebecca Rey B.A. (Hons), The University of Western Australia, 2006 10322929 This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The University of Western Australia School of Social and Cultural Studies Discipline of English and Cultural Studies 2012 Abstract This thesis examines the plays of Don DeLillo. Although DeLillo‘s novels have received much critical discussion, his theatre works, with a few exceptions, have been largely ignored in literary circles. This thesis focuses on DeLillo‘s plays to rectify, in part, the lack of scholarship on this topic. In what follows I will examine each of DeLillo‘s six playtexts in chronological order, devoting a chapter to each of his main plays. Common themes emerging across the oeuvre are the centrality of language, the human fear of death, the elusiveness of truth, and the deception of personal identity. In order to provide a comprehensive critical analysis of DeLillo‘s plays, I will draw on a wide range of sources, including DeLillo‘s novels, personal notes and correspondence, interviews with the writer, and theatre performance reviews, in order to reach a better critical understanding of DeLillo‘s plays. This unprecedented examination of DeLillo‘s plays contributes not only to a deeper understanding of his other fictional works, but is rewarding in itself, as the plays can stand alone as being worthy of critical attention. In Chapter 1, I present an analysis of DeLillo‘s ‗The Engineer of Moonlight‘ (1979)—his first published, but as yet unperformed, playtext. ‗The Engineer‘ bears striking similarities in theme with DeLillo‘s earlier novel Ratner’s Star (1976).

  • Kierkegaard's Reflection in Don Delillo's Novel „Falling Man?
    European Journal of Science and Theology, February 2017, Vol.13, No.1, 15-23 _______________________________________________________________________ KIERKEGAARD’S REFLECTION IN DON DELILLO’S NOVEL ‘FALLING MAN’ Martina Pavlíková* Constantine the Philosopher University in Nitra, Faculty of Arts, Central European Research Institute of Søren Kierkegaard, Hodžova 1, 949 74 Nitra, Slovak Republic (Received 7 October 2016) Abstract This paper analyses Don DeLillo‟s novel „Falling Man‟, which is concerned with the symbolic nature of terrorist violence portrayed and interpreted through the mass media that are able to create a specific simulacrum of reality. DeLillo‟s narrative examines the possibilities of reinventing one‟s individual identity and the tendency of individuals to construct their own identities through a group mentality as well. The paper also deals with the influence of the Danish thinker Soren Kierkegaard on the novel „Falling Man‟. Keywords: subjectivity, terrorism, despair, anxiety, hedonism 1. Introduction Don DeLillo (1936) is a very significant American writer, playwright and essayist. He currently belongs among the most phenomenal and important novelists of modern American literary era. Literary critic Harold Bloom “named him as one of the four major American novelists of his time, along with Thomas Pynchon, Philip Roth, and Cormac McCarthy” [1]. He is considered to be a representative of postmodern literature. Don DeLillo himself stresses that he has been profoundly influenced by “abstract expressionism, European movies and jazz” [2]. His unique literary work reflects the concept of man and modern society being impacted by the advances of Science and technology. His novels intertwine modern appliances, scientific technology, mass media, nuclear wars, sport, various forms of art, cultural performances, cultural objects, cold war, digital age, economy, conspiracy theories and global terrorism.

CONVERGENCE: THE MEETING OF TECHNOLOGY AND ART IN DON DELILLO’S COSMOPOLIS AND ZERO K by JAY SHELAT Under the Direction of Christopher Kocela, PhD ABSTRACT This thesis explores the roles of art and technology in Don DeLillo’s novels Cosmopolis and Zero K. DeLillo’s works combine art and technology through their depictions of protagonists whom I characterize as rogue capitalists. In Cosmopolis, Eric Packer is a rogue capitalist who yearns to escape the world of financial speculation after seeing a horrific event, while in Zero K, the rogue capitalist figure, Ross Lockhart, wishes to leave the contemporary era by freezing his body. Both characters become “rogues” because they seek to escape the capitalist environment that has made them, and

  • “Cosmopolis” (Novel) –Don Delillo a Theater of the Absurd Existentialist, Nevertheless a Bronx Southern-Italian American
    “Cosmopolis” (novel) –Don DeLillo a Theater of the Absurd Existentialist, nevertheless a Bronx southern-Italian American Published on iItaly.org (http://www.iitaly.org) “Cosmopolis” (novel) –Don DeLillo a Theater of the Absurd Existentialist, nevertheless a Bronx southern-Italian American Tom Verso (June 20, 2012) “What are you doing Saturday night? / Committing suicide / What about Friday?” (Woody Allen) ... Richard E. Baker in his book “The Dynamics of the Absurd in the Existentialist Novel” writes: “Many existentialist writers in the twentieth century have defined the sense of the absurd... Miguel de Unamuno says it is the ‘tragic sense of life’; JeanPaul Sartre calls it ‘nausea’... [etc].” By any name, the ‘absurd’ denotes the experience of a rational individual struggling with a perceived irrational world. Increasingly, I’m coming to the opinion that Don Delillo should be added to that long list which includes Richard Wright, Camus, Beckett, etc. What interests me is how the son of Abruzzo immigrants goes from ‘hanging’ on a Little Italy Bronx street corner to “Waiting for Godot”, and what Page 1 of 4 “Cosmopolis” (novel) –Don DeLillo a Theater of the Absurd Existentialist, nevertheless a Bronx southern-Italian American Published on iItaly.org (http://www.iitaly.org) that ‘trip’ implies about the culture of post-Little Italy Americana Preface Before I read anything about DeLillo’s biography, I was perfectly confident he was a child of 1940s – 50s Bronx Little Italy. Having read his novel Underworld, I could not believe that even the most creative and imaginative writer could possibly capture the character of the people and cultural essence of “Little Italy – Urban Villages” as perfectly and brilliantly as he did in “Part Six” of that book.

Ivakhiv, Ph.D.., Chairperson Sarah Turner, Ph.D. Cynthia J. Forehand, Ph.D., Dean of the Graduate College ABSTRACT Within Cartesian dualism’s traditional nature/culture divide, nature today proves uncanny: both in the uncanny return of human impact through anthropogenic climate change and in the uncanny recognition that that which was other was never really other at all. Contemporary ecocriticism, in theorizing the breakdown of this nature/culture divide, is thereby “post-naturalist.” Ecocritic Timothy Morton speaks toward this denaturalization in his work Hyperobjects: Philosophy and Ecology After the End of the World.
