Download date: 04. Oct. 2021 Geoffrey H. Hartman and the Challenge of Reading Postmodern Fiction by Maria Soultouki BA English Literature MA Religion and Literature A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of PhD English Literature Department of English and Creative Writing University of Roehampton 2011 Abstract This thesis re-engages the work of the distinguished literary critic, Geoffrey H. Hartman as a means of interpreting postmodern literature. Contemporary literary criticism has acknowledged the value of Hartman’s work in thinking about contemporary culture but, until now, there have not been any attempts to apply his interpretative methods to the reading of postmodern fiction. By identifying some of Hartman’s main concerns and drawing on his revisions of his theory, this thesis offers a case study of a selection of postmodern texts, which are characteristic of the challenges that postmodern literature presents. The postmodern literary text becomes challenging for literary interpretation through its extreme experimentation and by textually transgressing traditional forms of narration. The postmodern text’s incorporation of images, its attention and use of assonance, and its itinerate, indiscriminate assemblage of diverse creative expressions complicates the interpretive task. I aim to show how Hartman’s critical contribution can inform the reading of the postmodern text but also, how the consideration of the postmodern highlights the significance of Hartman’s theoretical work. I begin by developing the complexities that the consideration of postmodern literature and Hartman’s critique present and relate the authors and texts that become the focus of this investigation in the chapters that follow. Chapter 2 considers the relationship of the postmodern text to its use of illustrations and images and explores what this relationship manifests for the nature of the postmodern. Chapter 3 draws on Hartman’s understanding of literary interpretation as the listening for different meanings of the word, with particular attention to the typographical manifestations of the dissemination of meaning in the creation of the postmodern novel. Chapter 4 examines the implications of the postmodern rejection of ii modernist concerns, in literary interpretation and postmodern theory and the effects of the postmodern condition on the development of identity and historical consciousness. Chapter 5 focuses more closely on the problems of narrative orientation and direction that develop through typographical experimentation and relates these concerns to the challenge of following Hartman’s intellectual progressions in his critical contributions. The final chapter of this thesis explores the nature and role of the contemporary critical essay in the postmodern condition and the future of literature. iii Acknowledgements The Department of English and Creative Writing in Roehampton University has been my intellectual home for the past eight years and I wish to thank everyone there, staff and students, for giving me the opportunity to be a part of an inspiring literary community. Particularly, I wish to thank Dr. Mark Knight for his time and guidance in this project. Dr. Knight’s direction as my teacher during my BA and MA degrees and a mentor over these last four years had shaped the foundations of my critical thought and for that I am eternally grateful. I am also thankful for Dr. Kevin McCarron’s encouragement and continuous support, not only in this project but throughout my time in Roehampton. Professor Geoffrey Hartman has been more than inspiring in the writing of this thesis. His invitations to meet him at Yale University during the first and final year of this research project revealed to me that as well as being a distinguished literary thinker, Professor Hartman is a great teacher. Taking the time to read closely and discuss part of my work had a considerable positive effect on the progress of this thesis. But it is his modesty, generosity and inexhaustible excitement about literature and life itself that will remain with me and I am grateful for these and all the other occasions I have spent in his and Renée’s company. Finally, I wish to thank my family for their support. In the Christian Orthodox tradition my mother’s name, Olga, is the name of a woman who became a Saint because of her lyrical and discursive abilities. My mother’s persuasive words have counselled me to stay on course with my research choices and her loyalty has been my foundation. My brothers, George and Paul, have stimulated my work with their insightfulness, as both my challengers and invigorators. I am also grateful to my friends and companions, for their help, support and comments on my work. I would like to dedicate this dissertation to Paul and Maria, my grandparents. They never had the chance to have a proper education but they made sure I did. iv Contents 1. Introduction……………………………………………………………………….1 1.1. a. The Postmodern Challenge…………………………………………...…....2 b.

Soon is your middle year, your Christ year past, the beasts you met or fled from in the wood, convert them in the eagle fields of mind and test their stubbornness with stubs of song. Bring now unwonted fire to your lips.1 This thesis aims to examine the nature and position of the postmodern text, and show how Geoffrey H. Hartman’s theoretical contribution can assist the reading and interpretation of postmodern fiction. In this introductory chapter I will set up the main concerns that are the objects of examination in this thesis.

    LITERARY CRITICISM AND THEORY IN THE AFRICAN NOVEL: . CIDNUAACBEBE AND ALI MAZRUI by AyoMamudu 'It simply dawned on me two mommgs ago that a novelist must listen to his characters who after all are created to wear the shoe and point the writer where it pinches' - lkem in achebe's Antbllls of the Savannah The successful creative writer is also in an obvious and fundamental sense a critic; he possesses the critical awareness and carries out the self-criticism without which a work of art of respectable quality cannot be produced. Indeed, T.S. Eliot, as is well-known. was led to opine that "it is to be expected that the critic and the creative artist should frequently be the same person" .1 In contemporacy Africa, the view is widely held that the creative sensibility is other than and superior to the critical; and, in the tradition of the wide-spread and age-long "dispute" between writers and critics. that the critic is a junior partner (to the writer), even a parasite.2 Yet the evidence is abundant that some of Africa's leading writers have also produced considerable and compelling criticism: Achebe, Ngugi and Soyinka, to name a few. Their independent criticalworks aside, African writers have continued in their creative works to give information and shed light on critical and literary theory. The special attraction ofthis practice ofembedding, hinting at or discussing critical and literary ideas or views in creative writing is that the cut and thrust of contemporacy critical debates. the shifting sands of critical taste and fashion, and the interweaving of personal.opinion and public demands are gathered up and sifted through the imaginative process and the requirements ofthe particular literacy genre; its greatest danger is to be expected from a disregard for the imperatives of form.

  • “English”: the Influence of British and American Thought on His Philosophy Written by Thomas H
    Book Review Nietzsche and the “English”: The Influence of British and American Thought on His Philosophy written by Thomas H. Brobjer (New York: Humanities Books, 2008) reviewed by Martine Prange (University of Amsterdam & Maastricht University) ietzsche did not know English well and he Nnever visited the British Isles. He accused ‘the small-spiritedness of England’ to be ‘now the great danger on Earth’ and he dismissed the English for be- ing ‘no philosophical race’ (BGE 252). Nevertheless, in his new book Nietzsche and the “English” (which term refers to what we now call ‘Anglo-American’ philosophy and literature), Thomas Brobjer, associ- ate professor in the History of Science and Ideas at the University of Uppsala, sets out to show that such statements conceal the fact that ‘many of Nietzsche’s favourite authors were British and American and dur- ing two extended periods of his life Nietzsche was enthusiastic about and highly interested in British and American thinking and literature, and read intensively works by and about British authors’ (12). He further claims that those readings had a much deeper impact on Nietzsche’s philosophy than recognized so far, in both negative and positive ways. On a more general level, he wants to reveal how Nietzsche worked and thought by focusing on his response to his readings. Thus, Brobjer researches what Nietzsche read, when he read it, how seriously he read it, and in which manner his readings influenced his thought. Brobjer’s claims spur curiosity. Who exactly were those British and American

  • Metamodern Writing in the Novel by Thomas Pynchon
    INTERLITT ERA RIA 2019, 24/2: 495–508 495 Bleeding Edge of Postmodernism Bleeding Edge of Postmoder nism: Metamodern Writing in the Novel by Thomas Pynchon SIMON RADCHENKO Abstract. Many different models of co ntemporary novel’s description arose from the search for methods and approaches of post-postmodern texts analysis. One of them is the concept of metamodernism, proposed by Timotheus Vermeulen and Robin van den Akker and based on the culture and philosophy changes at the turn of this century. This article argues that the ideas of metamodernism and its main trends can be successfully used for the study of contemporary literature. The basic trends of metamodernism were determined and observed through the prism of literature studies. They were implemented in the analysis of Thomas Pynchon’s latest novel, Bleeding Edge (2013). Despite Pynchon being usually considered as postmodern writer, the use of metamodern categories for describing his narrative strategies confirms the idea of the novel’s post-postmodern orientation. The article makes an endeavor to use metamodern categories as a tool for post-postmodern text studies, in order to analyze and interpret Bleeding Edge through those categories. Keywords: meta-modernism; postmodernism; Thomas Pynchon; oscillation; new sincerity How can we study something that has not been completely described yet? Although discussions of a paradigm shift have been around long enough, when talking about contemporary literary phenomena we are still using the categories of feeling rather than specific instruments. Perception of contemporary lit era- ture as post-postmodern seems dated today. However, Joseph Tabbi has questioned the novelty of post-postmodernism as something new, different from postmodernism and proposes to consider the abolition of irony and post- modernism (Tabbi 2017).

The main body of this work can be seen as an admiration and reverence for the values and ideals associated with postmodern philosophy as well as postmodern literature. , I have argued that postmodern has mainly influenced philosophy and literature and they are recognized and praised for their multiplicity. Postmodernism might seem exclusive in its work, its emphasis on multiplicity and the decentered subject makes very uncomfortable reading for traditional theorists or philosophers. It rejects western values and beliefs as only small part of the human experience and it rejects such ideas, beliefs, culture and norms of the western. Integrity is fragmented apart into unharmonious narratives which lead to a shattering of identity and an overall breakdown of any idea of the self. Relativism and Self- reflexivity have replaced self-confidence due to the postmodern belief that all representation distorts reality. I have also referred that in a sense; postmodernism is a part of modernism we find the instantaneous coexistence of these two methods of expression and thinking, especially in visual arts and literature.
