  • 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.

The analysis provided concentrates primarily on Waiting for Godot (1952), Endgame (1957), and Happy Days (1962) and situates these plays within a post-war framework, while examining their stylistic qualities and thematic concerns within the context of trauma studies.

  • Travels with Samuel Beckett, 1928-1946
    Beyond the Cartesian Pale: Travels with Samuel Beckett, 1928-1946 Charles Travis [I]t is the act and not the object of perception that matters. Samuel Beckett, “Recent Irish Poetry,” e Bookman (1934).1 Introduction he Irish Nobel laureate Samuel Beckett’s (1902-1989) early writings of the 1930s and 1940s depict the cities of Dublin, London and Saint-Lô Tin post-war France, with affective, comedic and existential flourishes, respectively. These early works, besides reflecting the experience of Beckett’s travels through interwar Europe, illustrate a shift in his literary perspective from a latent Cartesian verisimilitude to a more phenomenological, frag- mented and dissolute impression of place. This evolution in Beckett’s writing style exemplifies a wider transformation in perception and thought rooted in epistemological, cultural and philosophical trends associated with the Conti- nental avant garde emerging in the wake of the fin de siècle. As Henri Lefeb- vre has noted: Around 1910, the main reference systems of social practice in Eu- rope disintegrated and even collapsed. What had seemed estab- lished for good during the belle époque of the bourgeoisie came to an end: in particular, space and time, their representation and real- ity indissociably linked. In scientific knowledge, the old Euclidian and Newtonian space gave way to Einsteinian relativity. But at the same time, as is evident from the painting of the period—Cézanne first of all, then analytical Cubism—perceptible space and per- spective disintegrated. The line of horizon, optical meeting-point of parallel lines, disappeared from paintings.2 At the age of fourteen, Beckett, a son of the Protestant Anglo Irish bourgeoisie, witnessed in the largely Catholic nationalist uprising in Ireland, something Charles Travis is at Trinity College Dublin, Long Room Hub.

  • “The Human Condition” in Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot Michiko
    “The Human Condition” in Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot Michiko Tsushima, University of Tsukuba, Japan The Asian Conference on Arts & Humanities 2020 Official Conference Proceedings Abstract In his essay about two painters, the van Velde brothers, Samuel Beckett presents a view that both men share a profound interest in “the human condition,” which precedes their interest in painting. This view relates to Beckett’s own conception of art. He himself was interested in “the human condition” in his creation of art. Beckett experienced the devastation of the Second World War. Through his work (e.g., Waiting for Godot, Endgame, and Happy Days), he explored the condition of those who survive in the world in its extremity. This paper sheds light on “the human condition” revealed in the act of waiting in Waiting for Godot, a French play written in 1949. The play depicts the human condition as the condition of being “tied to Godot.” This condition implies the human finitude—the tormenting in-between condition—being short of the world and that of never being able to escape from the here and now. At the same time, this condition of being “tied to Godot” indicates one last ounce of belief in the world. By disclosing this invisible “tie,” Waiting for Godot evokes “the link between man and the world” (Deleuze) in the audience’s mind. Keywords: Samuel Beckett, The Human Condition, Waiting iafor The International Academic Forum www.iafor.org Introduction In his essay about two brother-painters, Bram and Geer van Velde, “La peinture des van Velde ou le Monde et le Pantalon” (1945), Samuel Beckett presents a view that both men share a profound interest in “the human condition,” which precedes their interest in painting.

  • The Story of Samuel Beckett's Short Prose Fiction
    Samuel Beckett, 1969, Ink on board , as represented by cartoonist Edmund Valtman. From Storms of Sound to Missing Words: The Story of Samuel Beckett’s Short prose Fiction María José Carrera de la Red UNIVERSIDAD DE VALLADOLID A chronological ove r v i ew of Samuel Becke t t ’s short prose fiction may seem an unlikely choice as a celebration of the life and work of the author of seminal texts in the history of 20t h- c e n t u r y literature like Waiting for Godot or The Unnamable. But it takes the reading of these lesser- k n ow n t exts to fully understand what the whole Beckettian project is about. If Beckett referred to his prose fiction as “the important writing” —signifi c a n t l y, prose was the only genre, with poetry, that he practised from the beginning to the very end of his career— his short prose texts in particular can be said to delineate the story of his creative evolution providing, by virtue of their concentrated nature, magnificent introductions to his varying artistic intentions and writing methods. As might be expected with an author like Beckett, some of these texts are so innova t ive or experimental that even terminology fails. Certainly it is hard to call them fi c t i o n, or s t o r i e s, but eve n the word p ro s e is ill-fitting to describe some of Becke t t ’s more concentrated attempts, one of which was about to be included in a poetry collection when Beckett claimed that it was prose not ve r s e .

  • The Censor's “Filthy Synecdoche”: Samuel Beckett and Censorship
    Sanglap 2.2 (Feb 2016) Censorship and Literature The Censor’s “filthy synecdoche”: Samuel Beckett and Censorship Martin Schauss “The Royal Court Theatre, London (George Devine) want to do [Endgame] in the Fall. I don’t see how they can do it without cuts which I won’t have.” -- letter to Barney Rosset, 11 Jan 1957 “In London the Lord Chamberpot demands inter alia the removal of the entire prayer scene! I’ve told him to buckingham off.” (sic) -- letter to Alan Schneider, 29 Dec 1957 Samuel Beckett’s antipathy and intolerance towards any form of state censorship are well documented, not least in James Knowlson’s biography Damned to Fame (1996), as are his own run-ins with censorial bodies—the Irish Censorship of Publications Board and, in the United Kingdom, the Lord Chamberlain’s office, which licensed theatre performances in England until 1968. Beckett’s early collection of short stories, More Pricks Than Kicks (MPTK), as well as the novels Murphy, Watt, and Molloy, all ended up banned in Ireland under the Censorship of Publications Act of 1929, sometimes with considerable delay (as in the case of Murphy, banned more than 25 years after being first published), sometimes shortly after publication (as with MPTK and Molloy). The London performances of Waiting for Godot, Endgame, and, to a lesser extent, Krapp’s Last Tape all followed lengthy wrangles with the Lord Chamberlain marked by petty revisions to the text, principle-based compromise, and the writer’s incredulity. 1 This essay argues that Beckett uses obscene material to stage a confrontation with censorship practices in an attempt to turn the tables on the censor and expose the instability of institutionalised moral borders.
