  • 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).

Incampo May 4, 2012 Trinity College Department of Theater and Dance Hartford, CT 2 Table of Contents Acknowledgements 5 I: History Time, Space and Sound in Beckett’s short dramatic works 7 A historical analysis of the playwright’s theatrical spaces including the concept of temporality, which is central to the subsequent elements within the physical, metaphysical and sonic landscapes. These landscapes are constructed from physical space, object, light, and sound, so as to create a finite representation of an expansive, infinite world as it is perceived by Beckett’s characters.. II: Theory Phenomenology and the conscious experience of existence 59 The choice to focus on the philosophy of phenomenology centers on the notion that these short dramatic works present the theatrical landscape as the conscious character perceives it to be. The perceptual experience is explained by Maurice Merleau-Ponty as the relationship between the body and the world and the way as to which the self-limited interior space of the mind interacts with the limitless exterior space that surrounds it.

  • Novella Salon
    NOVELLA SALON MARCH 19, 2018 1 NOVELLA OPENING Crybaby in Love For my seventh birthday I asked my parents for a Gameboy. We lived in the middle of nowhere, New Hampshire, and during the summers swarms of mosquitos that bred in our community pools and ponds reserved playing outside as an activity for the fearless or idiotic. I had never asked for a toy as expensive as a Gameboy before, because my mom stayed home to play with me instead of having a job, and I didn’t want her to think she wasn’t enough for me when I was enough for her. But the delight in reading old library books to her inevitably faded, and at school during lunch all the kids would crowd around their Gameboys playing with each other, a club I desperately wanted to join. A week before my birthday, while my parents were out playing ping-pong at the church, I moved a chair around the house, stop- ping to examine all the upper shelves in our closests. I found the 2 Gameboy box hastily tucked under some blankets, as if it were napping until the big reveal. My glee betrayed me and when my parents stepped through the door I ran to wrap my arms around their knees, surprising all three of us. I found the Gameboy! I said, and my parents looked at each other, before my mom replied, Well, I’ll just make sure your card contains all the surprise this year! Since we moved to America, every 1st of June my mom would cut a heart out of a manila folder and use whatever office supplies we had lying around to draw my current obsession—aquariums, the red candy flakes I sometimes ate as a snack, Clifford the big red dog—but more importantly, write “Happy Birthday Bao Bao! I love you.” By this time PBS Kids had taught me “I love you” was something American families said to each other, but I had lived more of my life Chinese, and my parents even more so, so I never asked them to say it.

  • 2 “Nothing Is More Real Than Nothing” a Reading of Beckett's
    , 2 “Nothing is more Real Than Nothing” A Reading of Beckett’s “Ping” as a Postmodern Text Oya Batum Mentese, Raymond Federman, who was a close friend and mentor of Beckett, in his famous lecture “The Imagery Museum of Samuel Beckett” (2006) delivered following his friend’s death, has said about understanding Beckett that one should not even try, instead one should use one’s sense and imagination to appreciate the imagery of “Sam’s text painting” for adds Federman, Beckett who could have been himself a great painter, became that painter in his work. He painted beautiful tableaux for us with words rather than with paint. (www.poeticinhalation.com/theimagerymuseum ofsamuelbackett.pdf) Federman has asked us to take Beckett at his word, yet as one tries to decipher the structural and linguistic complexity of Beckett 11 “Nothing is more Real Than Nothing” A Reading of Beckett’s “Ping” as a Postmodern Text texts one inevitably or perhaps out of habit or academic curiosity tries to go beyond the technical innovativeness, to his meaning or purpose or at least to discovering the source of his artistic commitment. Practically all Beckett texts have nontraditional narrative structures which quickly create enigmas for the reader; Ping published in 1966, one of the late works, rates among the most enigmatic. The enigma starts with the classification of the text within recognizable genres. What is Ping? Is it fiction or poetry? If fiction, is it a short story? Hugh Kenner has informed us that Ping was the residuum of a novel which Beckett began the year following its publication (176).

  • Today's Fear of 'Being' in Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot
    Lapis Lazuli -An International Literary Journal (LLILJ) Vol.3/ NO.2/Autumn 2013 Today‟s fear of „Being‟ in Samuel Beckett‟s Waiting for Godot Komal Rakwal Abstract The New Theatre, The Theatre of the Absurd emerged in Paris in the 1950’s and it took the theatre world by surprise. In the new theatrical context, the term is used to talk about plays that are out of harmony with reason or convention. The Theatre of the Absurd has its affinities with existentialism. It consists of the plays that do not satisfy the expectations of audiences, plays that do not conform to the codes and conventions of theatre that had governed play till then. The present paper made an attempt to discuss how in Waiting for Godot Beckett describes the existential philosophy and its absurdity and how human beings simply exist in a universe that does not have any overarching meaning. Waiting for Godot has an overall feeling of absurdity while simultaneously lead to existentialism. Beckett warns the common reader against wasting one’s life and he make realize them to make meaning out of their life instead of simply living. Keywords: Absurdity, Existentialism, Disillusionment, Inadequacy, Disintegration. Lapis Lazuli -An International Literary Journal (LLILJ) ISSN 2249-4529, Vol.3/ NO.2/Autumn 2013 URL of the Issue: http://pintersociety.com/vol-3-no-2autumn-2013/ © www.pintersociety.com 107 Today‟s fear of „Being‟ in Samuel Beckett‟s Waiting for Godot After Second World War, the theatre was fruitless. New interests were carried towards new subjects. During that period, a new theatre appeared in front of the audience with a greater force, without any showy manifestation, Theatre of the Absurd.

  • The Search for Meaning in Waiting for Godot
    Praxis: The Journal for Theatre, Performance Studies, and Criticism 2013 Issue Deconstructing Consciousness: The Search for Meaning in Waiting for Godot Dan Ciba Samuel Beckett has long been recognized as a great playwright of the Theater of the Absurd, a theatrical genre identified by dramatic critic Martin Esslin. Early Absurdist playwrights were categorized by Esslin because of their use of narrative and character in order to expose the meaninglessness of a post-Nietzschean world. In his book the Theatre of the Absurd, Esslin states: “'Absurd' originally means 'out of harmony', in a musical context. Hence its dictionary definition: 'out of harmony with reason or propriety; incongruous, unreasonable, illogical'[...] In an essay on Kafka, Ionesco defined his understanding of the term as follows: 'Absurd is that which is devoid of purpose... Cut off from his religious, metaphysical, and transcendental roots, man is lost; all his actions become senseless, absurd, useless” (Esslin 1973, p.5).
