    On January 1st, 2006 I began to fulfill my New Years resolution to read Thomas Pynchon's Mason & Dixon at a pace of three pages a day. I resolved to look everything up that was interesting or obscure. I took a lot of notes throughout the nine months it took to read the book. This is the result.

Having played the instru- ment for, then, almost two decades, I thought that a novelist would not, could not, feature specialty instruments such as the C-melody sax if he did not play the horn himself. Once the saxophone had caught my attention, I noticed all sorts of uncommon references that seemed to confirm my hunch that Thomas Pynchon himself played the instrument: McClintic Sphere’s 4½ reed, the contra- bass sax of Against the Day, Gravity’s Rainbow’s Charlie Parker passage.

  • Brutal Narratives, Savage Figures: on the Matter of Violence In
    J. Martin Brutal Narratives, Savage Figures: On the Matter of Violence in Postmodern American Literature and Literary Criticism Brutal Narratives, Savage Figures: On the Matter of Violence in Postmodern American Literature and Literary Criticism is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 Unported License. This work was electronically published (Open Access) with the same title: Düsseldorf: Heinrich Heine U, 2009 © 2009 by J. Martin PREFACE In the introductory chapter of his monumental The Structure of Evolution­ ary Theory, Stephen Jay Gould ponders Darwin’s famous statement from the concluding chapter of his On the Origin of Species that “this whole volume is one long argument” without explicitly stating for what. From many possible answers, Gould prefers to regard Darwin’s “long argument” as an attempt to establish a specific methodological and theoretical approach (Darwin 459; Gould 12). In the process of sketching the scope and boundaries of this thesis, the question of the curious “long argument” became part of the general design. Besides the inquiry into the topic of violence in postmodern litera­ ture and literary criticism as such, this thesis tries to make a point for a methodological and theoretical approach that is postmodern and thematic at the same time, and that draws equally from literary and critical texts that belong to the same period: an approach intended to make elements, struc­ tures, and processes visible that connect literary texts of a given period with that period’s critical discourse, and to show how these shared charac­ teristics relate to their own rhetorical modes and to their reception in the public discourse.

  • Enchanting Irruptions Wonder, Noir, and the Environmental Imaginary
    Ryan Palmer Enchanting Irruptions Wonder, Noir, and the Environmental Imaginary Dissertation presented at Uppsala University to be publicly examined in Geijersalen: Eng/6-1023, Thunbergsvägen 3P, Uppsala, Saturday, 27 January 2018 at 10:00 for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. The examination will be conducted in English. Faculty examiner: Professor Michael Lundblad (University of Oslo). Abstract Palmer, R. 2017. Enchanting Irruptions. Wonder, Noir, and the Environmental Imaginary. 170 pp. Uppsala: Department of English, Uppsala University. This thesis investigates narratives of re-enchantment and disenchantment in three contemporary U.S. novels, Lydia Millet’s Mermaids in Paradise, Karen Tei Yamashita’s Tropic of Orange, and Thomas Pynchon’s Inherent Vice. Drawing on key concepts from ecocritcism and affect theory, I argue that these novels interrogate narratives and affects associated with questions central to the Anthropocene: climate-related dilemmas, questions of environmental justice, and animal ethics. Situating these texts in relation to environmental discourses, I show how affects of wonder and re-enchantment are produced within them through the insertion of anti- mimetic narrative objects into otherwise representationally realistic fictional worlds. These incursions, and the affective shifts they produce, challenge and interrupt in the novels narratives of ecological dread and disenchantment, which I link to the techniques and affects of noir. In each chapter of this study, I show how the dialogical interplay between disenchantment and re-enchantment disrupts preconceptions and assumptions about aspects of ecological crisis, and engenders or reinforces political commitments to environmentally related issues. Chapter One focuses on interspecies politics and animal rights in Mermaids in Paradise, environmental justice is central to the analysis of Tropic of Orange in Chapter Two, and the political dynamics of countercultural environmentalism inform my reading of Inherent Vice in Chapter Three.
