Nicholson, Karen. "Des structures mytho-initiatiques chez Michel Tournier." Thesis, McGill University, 1993. http://digitool.Library.McGill.CA:80/R/?func=dbin-jump-full&object_id=69654.
Abstract:
According to the structuralist Claude Levi-Strauss, all myth has but one same structure. The purpose of this study is to expose the mythico-initiatory edifice that informs Vendredi ou les limbes du Pacifique, Le Roi des Aulnes, as well as Les Meteores, Michel Tournier's "trilogy".To write, according to Tournier, cannot be a matter of literary creation, but simply of literary renewal. Vendredi ou les limbes du Pacifique, Le Roi des Aulnes and Les Meteores represent literary reflections on the primordial importance of Myth, for the Artist and above all, for Man; it is this mythic dimension that makes Tournier's entire oeuvre an "autobiography", or rather an autohagiography, according to Tournier's neologism. The three protagonists, Robinson, Tiffauges and Paul Surin, literary avatars of Tournier as Author, embark on a Quest for this lost mythic Unity; we will see that the voyage each makes is but one and the same, an allegorical odyssey toward the light$ ...$ of the City of the Sun.

Girard, Stéphane. "Sémiotique tensive de l'abjection chez Michel Butor." Thesis, McGill University, 2003. http://digitool.Library.McGill.CA:80/R/?func=dbin-jump-full&object_id=19507.
Abstract:
According to Julia Kristeva, abjection is an unconscious process (a cut) every human being has to operate to be able to autonomize her or himself from the dyadic relationship with the mother. An autonomous subject then has access to what « sémiotique tensive » (influenced by the phenomenology of perception andstructuralism) calls « field of presence » from where she or he can enunciate and thus enter the Symbolic order. In this thesis, I posit that the field of presence changes from modernity to postmodernity, and that some avant-garde authors, such as Michel Butor in the 1960's, are articulating the shift from one to the other and modifying the relationship between subject and abject. My textual analyses focus on two of Butor's most innovative books : Mobile. Étude pour une représentation des États-Unis (published in 1962) and 6 810 000 litres d'eau par seconde. Étude stéréophonique (usually referred to by critics as Niagara, the title of its English translation, published in 1965). My hypothesis is that, on the level of enunciation, Mobile shows traces of a modem field of presence, where the margins are highly dysphoric (abject), while Niagara tends to represent a more postmodern one, using différent discursive stratégies to defuse the abject threat. I close with a reflection on the state of abjection as a subjectivity inducing process, the subject it exhausts in postmodern times, and the new relationship to the body (therefore, to perception and enunciation) it imposes.

Abstract:
The subject matter of this thesis is concerned with a series of novels written by Michel Tremblay referred to as "Les Chroniques du Plateau Mont-Royal"; and more specifically, it is limited to the first four in the series. In these, Tremblay deals with the phenomena of human nature as it unfolds between birth and death. The gradual emergence of the wholeness and uniqueness of the individual during this process is a major theme developed sequentially in these four novels. This has been clearly demonstrated and critically evaluated in this thesis both somatically by using Ovid's Theory of Metamorphosis and psychologically by using Jung's Theory of Individuation. It has been concluded as a result of such analyses; firstly, that the unfolding process of human nature is a central theme, and secondly, these four novels are importantly interrelated in the development of this theme.

Abstract:
This study is about Michel Morin's opera omnia, a contemporary Quebec essayist and philosopher. The first part analyzes Morin's work with a sustained attention given to the question of the essay as a specific literary and philosophical genre (with references to Vigneault, Lukacs, Adorno, Barthes). Morin's work is for us the occasion to develop a reflection on the relationship between literature and philosophy (with references to Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, Bergson, Heidegger). Finally, going forward, we elaborate the concept of philosophy as Ideational Novel to read Morin's work, a concept that describes Morin's intellectual adventure and involvement in the reflexive text. The second part proposes a more detailed analysis of Michel Morin's reflexive adventure through four distinct moments. All Morin's essays will be studied. Issues and beacons-ideas will be analyzed without ever losing sight of the genuine style of his writing.

Abstract:
The child appears in Michel Tournier's literary work as an opposites resolving principle. These contraries are the cause of the disharmony within the protagonists: Robinson Crusoe, Abel Tiffauges and Paul Surin, the three main characters of, respectively, Vendredi ou les limbes du Pacifique, Le Roi des Aulnes and Les Météores. The destiny of those three heroes is to resolve this duality. The fulfillment of that destiny is characterized by its progression in time. The variation in the time dimension is actually the main characteristic of this duality with which the protagonists hâve to deal. As a matter of fact, they switch between historic and atemporal states according to regular and specific conditions. A real or symbolic child appears with angelic and solar features when the protagonists fulfill their destiny, reaching a state where neither historicity nor eternity exist. The child, to which Tournier gives a synthesizing power, represents the recovered unity, the perfect plenitude.L'enfant, dans l'oeuvre romanesque de Michel Tournier, agit comme principe de résolution des contraires, qui sont à l'origine de la disharmonie existant chez les protagonistes: Robinson Crusoé, Abel Tiffauges et Paul Surin, les trois personnages principaux de Vendredi ou les limbes du Pacifique, Le Roi des Aulnes et Les Météores respectivement. Leur destinée consiste justement à résoudre cette dualité. L'accomplissement de ce destin est caractérisé par une progression à travers le temps. D'ailleurs, la dualité présente chez ces trois héros se manifeste surtout dans la variation de la dimension temporelle. En effet, ils alternent, dans des conditions régulières et spécifiques, entre un état historique et un état atemporel. Lorsque les protagonistes atteignent une sphère où ni l'historicité ni l'éternité n'existent, accomplissant de la sorte leur destin, un enfant, concret ou abstrait, apparaît sous des signes angéliques et solaires. L'enfant, à qui Tournier confère un grand pouvoir de synthèse, symbolise alors l'unité retrouvée, la parfaite plénitude. fr

Abstract:
The critique part of this thesis explores two rewritings of the fairytale Tom Thumb by Charles Perrault, written by Pierrette Fleutiaux and Michel Tournier. Firstly, modifications to the original fairytale will be shown, followed by the presence of the newly introduced themes of sexuality and religion. It will be established that binary combinations are an integral part of the structure of a traditional fairytale, before examining the manner in which these writers use the new themes in order to blur the separating lines of the binary combinations. Bearing in mind the dismantling of the structure of the original fairytale, we will try to see if these two texts can still be considered as fairytales.The creative section of the thesis is composed of five fairytales: original works and rewritings which play with structure, characters and themes of the fairytale.

Abstract:
The aim of the present thesis is to study the theme of confinement in Michel Tremblay's Chroniques du Plateau Mont-Royal in regards of its subjacent dynamic. We start with the hypothesis according to which this dynamic, based on the succession "confinement-escape-return/re-creation of same", constitutes the frame of the text, giving it cohesion and structuring the narrative plot. Using thematic analysis tools, we attempt, first of all, to demonstrate the recurrent presence of the theme in the tremblayen text in line with two quite precise angles, that of spatial and family confinement in which the protagonists live. While underlining the different demonstrations of the theme, our analysis of the writing work aims to show that the author uses confinement, and precisely the confinement dynamic, as a dramatic motor (narrative function). Creating "la loi du roman", this never-ending structure on which would rest the tremblayen text, while preventing all escape attempts from the protagonists, would condemn them to wander eternally in search of a unreachable happiness.

Abstract:
The purpose of the research paper is to study and analyze the criticism expressed by Montaigne on different doxic themes that pervade the social discourse of his time. To do so, we consider two problems connected and coextensive to the second part of the XVI century.The first one that extends over the first two chapters analyzes the way by which the religious wars of the era have found their justification in God. In the first chapter, we try to analyze the discursive vector of the divine ire whereas in the second chapter, we investigate the relationship between the tide of a battle and the elect sign that is supposed to give to the winner.
The second problem, that deals with various attempts of pacification, forms the third chapter of this paper. It focuses on the efforts undertaken by some "well intentioned" jurists to end "fratricidal" wars by royal by-laws (edits) whose unfortunate results are to stir up hatred among different ideological factions.
The fourth chapter is a reflection on some criticism stated by XVI century thinkers who perceived actual wars as lacking religious foundation, and even as a carnage where nobody really knew why the fighting was going on.
Finally, we put forward some hypotheses on the specificity of the Essais in the sociodiscursive context of this age.

Abstract:
Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2015.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This thesis traverses the complexities and entanglement of theoretical and practical processes in a Post-structural age. Through the deconstruction of stable systems of knowledge and thought, this age has become synonymous with uncertainty. In an attempt to navigate a time of continual change, Foucault proposes a toolkit. Foucault advocates deconstruction, critical engagement and reflection. In addition to these tools, this thesis moves through genealogical, mapping, archaeological and glass (blowing) methodologies. My practice cannot be separated from theory, it is excavated concurrently. Foucault, Derrida, Nietzsche, Deleuze and Guattari open up knowledge systems in an effort to uncover alternative thought trajectories and create a space in which complexity can exist. Knowledge circulating in this space is not fixed, it manifests in moments. My practical project, Fleeting Certainty, also aims to create an open space. It does not culminate in one, autonomous work, but is rather an archive of moments. Viewers will also be equipped with a toolkit of light and lenses with which to create moments of their own. Therefore moments will generate continuously. These theoretical and practical processes do not culminate in a coherent conclusion. There is a pause, a comma, but there are many more trajectories or lines to follow.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie tesis deurkruis die ingewikkeldhede en verstrengeling van teoretiese en praktiese prosesse binne ’n Post-strukturele tydperk. Hierdie tydperk het, deur die dekonstruksie van stabiele stelsels van kennis en denke, gelykstaande aan onsekerheid geword. In a poging om ’n tydperk van voortdurende verandering te verken, stel Foucault sekere hulpmiddels voor. Foucault bepleit, dekonstruksie, kritiese betrokkenheid en besinning. Benewens hierdie hulpmiddels, maak hierdie tesis gebruik van genealogiese, karterings-, argeologiese en glas (blaas) metodologieë. Die praktiese komponent van my werk hou ten nouste verband met die teoretiese en kan nie van mekaar geskei word nie. Foucault, Derrida, Nietzsche, Deleuze and Guattari stel kennisstelsels oop in ’n poging om alternatiewe gedagtegange te ontbloot en skep ’n ruimte waarin kompleksiteit kan bestaan. Kennis wat in hierdie ruimte bestaan, is nie vas of bepaald nie, maar kom in oomblikke voor. My praktiese projek, Fleeting Certainty, poog ook om ’n ‘oop’ ruimte te skep. Die projek loop nie uit op een selfstandige werk nie, maar dien as ’n versameling of argief van oomblikke. Kykers sal ook toegerus word met hulpmiddels in die vorm van lig en lense waarmee hulle oomblikke van hul eie kan skep. Oomblikke sal dus voortdurent geskep word. Hierdie teoretiese en praktiese prosesse loop ook nie op ’n samehangende gevolgtrekking uit nie. Daar is ’n pouse, ’n komma, maar daar is baie meer bane of lyne om te volg.

The present study consists of a theoretical exercise, of a bibliographic character, destined to compose a master's thesis in Philosophy. The theme chosen is intended to accompany the reflections of Michel Foucault (1926-1984) on the so-called "kidnapping institutions". The way forward is to follow the footsteps of Michel Foucault's trajectory from his broader scope (the general panorama of his thinking) to the particular theme of "kidnapping institutions", especially through the moment of that trajectory in which they appear explicitly. To achieve such a purpose, there is an introduction about the intellectual path of the philosopher in (his) three moments, followed by the discipline and its generalization. Then, the study focuses the appearance of a disciplinary society, researching the "kidnapping institutions" in Modernity, in order to answer the question: after all, what is the very first function of "kidnapping institutions"?
O presente estudo consiste em um exercício teórico, de caráter bibliográfico, destinado a compor uma dissertação de mestrado em Filosofia. O tema escolhido tem o intuito de acompanhar as reflexões de Michel Foucault ( 1926-1984) sobre as assim chamadas “instituições de sequestro”. O caminho percorrido busca seguir os passos da trajetória de Michel Foucault desde seu âmbito maior ( o panorama geral do seu pensamento) até o tema particular das “ instituições de sequestro” , passando, especialmente pelo momento daquela trajetória na qual elas aparecem de modo explícito. Para tanto há uma introdução sobre a trajetória intelectual do filósofo em seus três momentos. Trata-se, em seguida, da disciplina e sua generalização. Na sequência, o estudo explicita o surgimento da sociedade disciplinar, para, então, investigar as “instituições de sequestro”, na Modernidade, e responder à pergunta: afinal, qual é a função precípua das “instituições de sequestro” ?

This research refers mainly to Jacques Lagrange’s unpublished manuscripts related to courses offered by Michel Foucault at École Normale Supérieure de Paris, and deposited at Institut Mémoires de l’Édition Contemporaine. It also refers to those by Michel Foucault himself recently deposited at Bibliothèque Nationale de France. The latter focus on files concerning the 1950s –a period not to be ignored if one intends to understand the development of his researches, in order to apprehend the role of Psychology in Michel Foucault’s philosophical problematic. This research intends to show that – leaving from a discourse on psykhé (Psychology) and reaching a conduction of psykhé (Psykhogogía) - , Foucault’s considerations adopt an anti-psychologic posture, while they allow a new understanding of subjectivity
Cette recherche est consacrée à l’étude des manuscrits inédits de Jacques Lagrange en ce qui concerne les cours proférés par Michel Foucault à l’École Normale de Paris pendant les années 1950, déposés à l’Institut Mémoires de l’Édition Contemporaine, et ceux de Michel Foucault lui-même récemment déposés à la Bibliothèque Nationale de France, plus spécialement les dossiers relatifs aux années 1950 – période qui ne peut être négligée si l’on souhaite entendre le développement de recherches de Michel Foucault –, pour comprendre le rôle de la psychologie dans sa problématisation philosophique, en essayant encore de soutenir qu’en partant d’un discours sur la psyché (psychologie), dans les années 1950, et en arrivant à une conduction de la psyché (psycagogie), les réflexions de Foucault, d’un côté, adoptent une posture antipsychologiste, mais, d’un autre côte, rendent possible une nouvelle compréhension de la subjectivité
Esta pesquisa se debruça mormente sobre os manuscritos inéditos de Jacques Lagrange relativos aos cursos ministrados por Michel Foucault na École Normale de Paris, depositados no Institut Mémoires de l’Édition Contemporaine, e aqueles do próprio Michel Foucault recentemente depositados na Bibliothèques Nationale de France, concentrando-se nos dossiês concernentes aos anos 1950 – período que não pode ser negligenciado se se pretende entender o desenvolvimento de suas pesquisas –, para compreender o papel da Psicologia na problematização filosófica de Michel Foucault, buscando defender que, partindo de um discurso sobre a psykhé (Psicologia) e alcançando uma condução da psykhé (Psykhagogía), as reflexões de Foucault adotam uma postura antipsicologista, possibilitando, contudo, uma nova compreensão da subjetividade.

Rau, Asta. "Supervision : a Foucaultian exploration of institutional and interpersonal power relations between postgraduate supervisors, their students and the university domain." Thesis, Rhodes University, 2005. http://hdl.handle.net/10962/d1003671.
Abstract:
Supervision is widely acknowledged as influencing the quality of postgraduate theses, and by association, of postgraduates. Despite this, publications on conducting research offer far less guidance on managing the supervision relationship than on the practicalities of producing a thesis. In-depth, qualitative supervision studies are few and fewer still examine power in the supervision relationship. Michel Foucault’s insights are used to explore the question: How do postgraduate supervisors and their Master’s students experience the supervision relationship and how are the dynamics of interpersonal and institutional power implicated in these relationships? Foucault argues that power relations always involve resistances; these function primarily through institutionalized discourses to produce different forms of knowledge, one form of which is identity or subjectivity. Accordingly, power relations are explored in terms of thesis-as-product, person-as-product and the impact of both on the mediation of knowledge in the educational domain. Four institutionalized discourses in the university domain are examined: · Commercial educational management discourse: targets academics through issues of quality assurance, throughput, publication, research productivity and funding. · Anarchic educational leadership discourse: integrates quantum principles with commercial demands, change management strategies and meaningful participation. · Humanistic discourse: favours a pastoral ethic and is person-centered. · Holistic discourse: cultivates ecological sensibility and values the interconnectedness of all aspects of being-in-the-world. Data collected in sixteen semi-structured interviews with three matched supervisor-student pairs selected from the humanities and education faculties of one South African university, are presented as case studies. Data analysis combines grounded theory techniques with selected aspects of Foucault’s methods. A conceptual model is devised to analyse how participants use resistance strategies to interface their autonomy and dependency with their expectations, abilities, and professional and pastoral care. The research yields rich data in which several thematic correlations in interpersonal and institutional power dynamics are grounded. These include: the significance of supervisor-student matching; links between expectations, abilities, the way participants negotiate power and the quality of professional and pastoral care they experience; the benefit of personal affinity to thesis-as-product and person-as-product; and the impact of commercial demands on participants’ power relations. Participants tend to reproduce the discourses in which they are embedded and adopt or adapt aspects of contesting discourses to this end. Potential avenues are identified for improving supervision practice and for further research.

Michel Foucault (1926-1984) is a thinker well recognized for establishing a peculiar relationship with philosophy: he constantly affirms that he cannot be considered a philosopher, criticizes the way that philosophy is exercised, rigorously and creatively proposing another form of practicing it. Interested in understanding the transformations of thought, he investigates the past to diagnose the present, invents concepts, constructs ideas, and destroys evidences. Passionate to novelty and always willing to take risks, he develops his intellectual trajectory in search of new ways of acting and thinking. This paper investigates a conception of philosophy in the light of Michel Foucault. Using the resource of metaphor, this conception is presented as a philosophical theater. In “The stage of philosophy”, Foucault states that his life is dedicated to "the theater of truth", a "story of the scene", a story of how sickness, madness and crime were staged. On the other hand, the inventiveness of the Foucauldian thought evokes the vitality of the theatrical performance. In the first chapter the relations between Foucault and the theater appear. The next three chapters summon the theatrical stage as an epistemic and heterotopic space of the philosophy, the actor as a professor, engaged philosopher, endowed with philosophical gestures, and the staging as "radical journalism", diagnosis of the present, "impatience of freedom", transgressive and limit-experience. Facing all these relations, to conceive philosophy as a philosophical theater, means to signalize the possibility of "thinking differently than one thinks, and perceiving differently from what one sees"
Michel Foucault (1926-1984) é um pensador reconhecido por estabelecer uma relação peculiar com a filosofia: afirma numerosas vezes que não pode ser considerado filósofo, critica a maneira como ela é exercida e propõe, de forma rigorosa e criativa, outra maneira de praticá-la. Interessado em compreender as transformações do pensamento, ele investiga o passado para diagnosticar o presente, inventa conceitos, constrói ideias e destrói evidências. Apaixonado pelo novo e disposto a correr riscos, desenvolve sua trajetória intelectual em busca de novas formas de agir e de pensar. Este trabalho investiga uma concepção de filosofia à luz de Michel Foucault. Utilizando o recurso da metáfora, esta elaboração é apresentada como teatro filosófico. Em A cena da filosofia, Foucault afirma que sua vida é dedicada ao “teatro da verdade”, uma “história da cena”, história de como se encenaram a doença, a loucura, o crime. Por outro lado, a inventividade do pensamento foucaultiano evoca a vitalidade do fazer teatral. No primeiro capítulo figuram as relações entre Foucault e o teatro. Os três capítulos seguintes convocam o palco teatral como espaço epistêmico e heterotópico da filosofia, o ator como professor, filósofo engajado, dotado de gestos filosóficos, e a encenação como “jornalismo radical”, diagnóstico do presente, “impaciência da liberdade”, experiência-limite e transgressora. Diante de todas essas relações, conceber a filosofia como teatro filosófico significa assinalar a possibilidade de “pensar diferentemente do que se pensa, e perceber diferentemente do que se vê”

Resumo: Em 1978, Michel Foucault escreveu uma série de artigos jornalísticos para o periódico italiano "Corriere della Sera". Intituladas "reportagens de ideias", tinham como objetivo acompanhar o nascimento das ideias no cruzamento com os acontecimentos do tempo presente. No âmbito deste projeto, realizou duas viagens ao Irã (em setembro e novembro), onde acompanhou de perto a movimentação popular durante os eventos da Revolução Islâmica. Para compreender as raízes da oposição ao governo do xá Reza Pahlavi em seus diversos locais de manifestação, Foucault não se restringiu a conversar com os líderes revolucionários, mas entrevistou diferentes categorias de manifestantes, desde os trabalhadores organizados até os profissionais liberais e intelectualizados, passando pelos diversos níveis de organizações religiosas espalhadas pelo país, dos mulás líderes tribais aos aiatolás das grandes cidades de Qom e Teerã. O que lhe interessava era assistir ao nascimento de uma nova forma de pensar entre os iranianos, e isto só seria possível se ele estivesse lá, em meio ao fervilhar revolucionário. O conjunto de textos, que compreende também artigos, manifestos e entrevistas publicados na imprensa francesa, foi objeto de enorme polêmica, principalmente devido aos desdobramentos posteriores à revolução, com a instauração de uma ditadura teocrática de caráter persecutório às minorias e aos direitos humanos, e permaneceram até hoje pouco explorados teoricamente. Esta dissertação pretende analisar as reportagens iranianas de Foucault a partir de sua construção textual, dos conceitos introduzidos e das diversas interpretações que as cercam. Estrutura-se, assim, em três eixos: o primeiro tem o objetivo de recuperar a trama conceitual interna às reportagens; o segundo, analisar as críticas recebidas e seu contexto teórico; o terceiro, apresentar a espiritualidade política como principal inovação introduzida no corpus teórico foucaultiano. Pretende-se destacar, ainda, ressonâncias dos textos iranianos em outras questões elaboradas por Foucault
Abstract: In 1978 Michel Foucault wrote a series of news articles for the Italian newspaper "Corriere della Sera". Called "journalism of ideas", the articles had the purpose of following the birth of ideas upon its crossing with present times¿ events. Within the scope of this project, he made two trips to Iran (in September and November), where he followed up close the popular movement during the events of the Islamic Revolution. In order to grasp the roots of the opposition to the Shah Reza Pahlavi government in its several places of manifestation, Foucault did not restrain himself to talking to revolutionary leaders but rather also interviewed different categories of protestors, from organized workers to independent and intellectualized professionals, going through the several level of religious organizations spread out through the country, from mullah tribal leaders to Ayatollahs of the large cities of Qom and Tehran. Foucault was interested in witnessing the birth of a new form of thinking among Iranians and it would only be possible if he would be there present, amidst the revolutionary effervescence. The set of texts, which comprises also articles, manifestos and interviews published by the French press was object of great polemic, mainly due to the unfolding of events following the revolution, with the instauration of a theocratic dictatorship having a persecutory nature against minorities and human rights, and remaining until nowadays not much theoretically explored. This dissertation has the purpose of analyzing the Iranian reportages by Foucault from its textual construction, of concepts introduced and several interpretations surrounding them. Therefore, this paper is structured in three axis, the first having the purpose of retrieving the internal conceptual scheme of the reportages; the second being the analysis of criticism received and its theoretical context; the third being to present the political spirituality as the main innovation introduced to Foucault¿s theoretical framework. It is intended to emphasize yet the resonances of the Iranian texts in other issues elaborated by Foucault

Abstract:
Este estudo trata de uma análise de recortes discursivos dos capítulos II, III, IV, V e VII do tomo I da obra Dom Quixote de La Mancha de Miguel de Cervantes. A escolha desta obra se deu por ser a mais importante da literatura espanhola, e ademais, um importante livro de ficção da literatura mundial. Para tanto, fundamentamo-nos em vários estudiosos da obra de Cervantes; entre eles, Basanta, Rico e Riquer, por serem dirigentes das edições comemorativas dos 400 anos da obra em estudo. A ousadia deste trabalho é compreender a obra em questão, sob uma ótica da Análise do Discurso de linha francesa, teoria e dispositivo de análise do estudo. Salientamos que a teoria foi fundada por Michel Pêcheus, na França, em fins dos anos sessenta e desenvolvida no Brasil por Eni Orlandi e seguidores. Dessa forma, o trabalho pretende analisar segmentos discursivos específicos de alguns capítulos do tomo I da obra indicada acima. Especificamente, visa a identificar efeitos da interdiscursividade, formações discursivas, ideológicas e imaginárias nos recortes constituídos, bem como estabelecer uma aproximação entre Dom Quixote e a Análise do Discurso. As análises realizadas indicam que o discurso do cavaleiro Dom Quixote gera o efeito de combater as injustiças sociais e Cervantes trabalhou com as novelas de cavalaria em forma de humor, visando a passar, sem censura, pela Inquisição. Concluímos a dissertação afirmando que este trabalho não finaliza por aqui, devendo ser aprofundado em futuros estudos de doutorado e em artigos científicos. Da mesma forma, esperamos que seja um caminho para novas pesquisas, que associem a Análise do Discurso e a literatura.This study is an analysis of discursive framings of Chapters II, III, IV, V and VII of Volume I of the work Don Quixote of La Mancha by Miguel de Cervantes. The choice of this work was given as the most important Spanish literature, and moreover, an important book fiction literature. Therefore, We base ourselves on the work of several scholars Cervantes, among them Basanta, Rico and Riquer, being leaders of commemorative editions of 400 years of work in the study. The boldness of this work is to understand the work in question, under an optical Discourse Analysis of French theory and analysis device of the study. We emphasize that the theory was founded by Michel Pêcheus in France in the late sixties and developed in Brazil by Eni Orlandi and followers. Thus, the paper discusses some specific segments discursive chapters of Volume I of the work indicated above. Specifically, it aims to identify effects of interdiscursivity, discursive, ideological and imaginary made the cutouts, as well as establishing a closer relationship between Don Quixote and Discourse Analysis. The analyzes indicate that the speech of knight Don Quixote creates the effect of combating social injustice and Cervantes worked with the novels of chivalry in the form of humor, aiming to pass without censure, by the Inquisition. We conclude the thesis stating that this work does not end here, should be deepened in future doctoral studies and scientific articles. Likewise, we hope to be a path for further research, involving Discourse Analysis and literature.

Harano, Mami. "Anatomy of Mishima's Most Successful Play Rokumeikan." PDXScholar, 2010. https://pdxscholar.library.pdx.edu/open_access_etds/387.
Abstract:
Mishima Yukio premiered the play Rokumeikan in 1956 and published it in 1957. For more than half a century, this play has been praised as one of the finest Japanese plays in the Post-War period. Rokumeikan is a multi-act tragic melodrama, set in 1886 (Meiji Period) in the Rokumeikan building. The play intertwines complex political cabals, intense loves and hatreds, and multiple deceptions embodying the conflict between political power and love. This essay explores the reasons why Rokumeikan has maintained its popularity over its fifty year long performance history and examines the critical reception of the play. My analysis of the Rokumeikan text is based on conflicting notions of truth and power. According to the French philosopher, Michel Foucault, socio-political power creates truth. This "power reality" is embodied in the play by Prime Minister Kageyama, and its authority is challenged by his wife, Asako, who has an entirely different conception of truth. This interplay of conflicting values has helped to maintain the popularity and stature of the play for half a century.

This dissertation aims to discuss the epstemological ethical subject in Focault in two specific moments of his work: in the chapter The great confinement from The History of Madness and the class taught in January 6th 1982 in the course The Hermeneutics of Subject. The first chapter discusses the passage The great confinement from The History of Madness, which was a thesis published in 1961. At first, we consider that this text presented, in Focault‟s thought, the relationship between madness and reason and the conjuction of knowledge and power which, in modernity, lead to the marginalisation of madness in the epstemological constitution of the cartesian subject in Descartes‟ Meditations and other metaphysical writings. Later, this dissertation shows that this approach resulted in a polemic between Focault and Jacques Derrida (1930-2009). This theoretical dispute did not appear to have meaningful impact, however, the theoretical dispute resulted in vigorous problems. In the second chapter, it is discussed the way in which Focault, at the first class in the course The Hermeneutics of Subject (1981-1982), brings back issues such as the subject of knowledge and their relationship with the truth, associated with the know yourself of and the care of oneself in ancient ethical tradition. At this course, Focault points out keys for interpretation that will allow us to conclude that the relationship between the know yourself of oneself and the care of oneself in the field of acient subject‟s practical conduct. Therefore, the dissertation aims to emphasize and discuss two moments of problematization which, according to different emphasis, goes through Focault‟s writing
Esta dissertação tem o objetivo de discutir o tema do sujeito ético epistemológico em Foucault em dois momentos precisos de seus trabalhos: no capítulo “A grande Internação” de História da loucura na Idade Clássica, e na aula de 6 de janeiro de 1982 do curso A Hermenêutica do Sujeito. O primeiro capítulo aborda a passagem “A Grande Internação” da História da loucura na Idade Clássica, tese publicada em 1961. Num primeiro momento deste capítulo, consideramos que este texto apresentou, no pensamento foucaultiano, a relação entre loucura e razão e a conjunção de saberes e poderes que, na modernidade, levaram à marginalização da loucura na constituição epistêmica do sujeito cartesiano em as Meditações Metafisicas de Descartes. Num segundo momento, mostramos que essa abordagem de Foucault desencadeou uma polêmica entre ele e Jacques Derrida (1930-2009). Essa disputa teórica aparentava ser transitória e desprovida de maior impacto, todavia, o embate teórico travado produziu problemas vigorosos. O segundo capítulo discute o modo pelo qual Foucault, na primeira aula do curso A Hermenêutica do sujeito (1981-1982), recupera questões referentes ao tema do sujeito de conhecimento e sua relação com a verdade, associado ao conhecimento de si e cuidado de si na tradição ética antiga. Nesse curso, Foucault indica chaves de interpretação que nos permitirão concluir que a relação entre “conhecimento” e “cuidado de si” decorre da problematização do sujeito elaborada por Foucault no início da década de 1980. No recorte de A Hermenêutica do sujeito, identificaremos a ocorrência do cuidado de si no campo da conduta prática do sujeito antigo. Desse modo, a dissertação procura destacar e discutir dois dos momentos de uma problematização que, segundo diferentes ênfases, percorre os escritos de Foucault: a problematização do sujeito

Abstract:
The study seeks to interrogate the gender constructions in the Daily Sun’s “Charter for a Man” campaign which ran from 7 November to 7 December 2007. It coincided with the 16 Days of Activism against gender violence and was designed to lobby support for this campaign and discourage men from physically abusing women. The “Charter for a Man” listed nine principles that signatories were to abide by. It included a section to be signed by men to be submitted to and collected by the Daily Sun. The campaign was constructed as an intervention into the issue of gender violence. Consequently, the 30 news stories, four editorial pieces and 11 letters to the editor that were published during the campaign period make up the textual data analysed in the study. The news stories consisted of testimonies from abused women and some women abusers. In addition, celebrity signatories were selected to endorse the campaign and encourage other men to follow suit. In the editorials, the campaign was consistently flagged as a nation building initiative which all men were supposed to support. The letters to the editor consisted of readers who either supported or rejected the campaign. The study takes place against the context of a patriarchal society characterised by high levels of violence. Given this scenario, the study is informed by a concern with gender justice and therefore considers whether such a campaign, ostensibly aimed at eradicating gender violence, has the potential of being transformative of gender inequalities. The study set out to establish the kinds of masculinities and femininities that were variously constituted in the campaign as well as the gender discourses that were privileged. It is informed by the theories of feminist poststructuralism and Foucault’s conceptualisation of discourse. As the campaign is the initiative of a tabloid newspaper, it is also considered within the framework of newspaper campaigns and arguments about tabloids and the public sphere. As text based research, the study employs critical discourse analysis as a qualitative procedure of textual analysis. It makes use of an eclectic approach to textual analysis that draws on linguistics, narrative and argumentation. The texts are analysed according to the categories of news texts contained which includes the Charter itself, signatory articles, testimonies, vox pops and letters to the editor. The overarching theme of nationhood projected in the editorials and other categories is also discussed as part of the analysis. The study concludes that the Daily Sun campaign might be a seemingly progressive action at first glance. However, it does not challenge the existing gender order but rather maintains and sustains patriarchal attitudes through the repeated representation of women as weak and in need of patronage and men as their protectors and providers. In some instances, women are constructed primarily as sexual beings as their physical attributes are emphasised, while men are constructed as working class citizens and rational beings. The study therefore proposes that the Daily Sun fails as an alternative public sphere that might make visible the concerns of women as a marginalised group in society. The campaign, it is argued, is self-serving in its promotion of the Daily Sun’s image as the “People’s Paper” rather than serious concerns about gender violence.

Cloete, Michael. "Postmetaphysical versus postmodern thinking : a critical appraisal of Habermas's debate with postmodernism." Thesis, Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2002. http://hdl.handle.net/10019.1/53008.
Abstract:
Thesis (PhD) -- University of Stellenbosch, 2002.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Philosophy has traditionally been concerned with the question of reason and rationality, as its central focus. From the perspective of the modern metaphysical tradition, this focus has developed around the theme of subjectivity in general, and the assumption of an ahistorical transcendental subject in particular. The idea of reason was thus foundational for the articulation and validation of the notions of truth and freedom. From the perspective of modernity, reason has thus been the condition of the possibility of enlightenment, freedom and moral progress. The debate between Habermas and the representatives of postmodern thinking represents the latest chapter regarding the question of reason, its limits, and its possibilities. What makes this debate particularly challenging is that Habermas, while he defends the idea of reason against its critique by the postmodernists, is actually in agreement with them in their dismissal of the tradition of metaphysical thinking. In view of his defense of the idea of reason, however, Habermas has invariably been accused of defending an outmoded and discredited form of philosophical thinking, while his opponents have generally been hailed as progressive thinkers who have succeeded in effecting a radical break with the conceptual legacy of the metaphysical tradition. In my dissertation I argue that the exact opposite position is the case, namely, that it is Habermas, and not his postmodern opponents, who has effected a radical break with metaphysical thinking. It is his ability to transform the idea of reason, from a transcendental into a postmetaphysical concept, in terms of which the question of reason and rationality, and the related ideas of truth and knowledge, are recast in fallibilistic terms, that, in my view, represents the overcoming of metaphysics. The postmodern turn, on the other hand, in view of its reluctance to consider the question of reason from an alternative model of rationality, finds itself still trapped within a form of transcendental thinking in which it seeks to enquire into the (im)possibility of reason, in the absence of a transcendental subject. In the final analysis, I argue that it is postmetaphysical rather than postmodern thinking, that offers us a practical alternative to the problematic conception of reason, bequeathed by the tradition of metaphysical thinking.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die fenomeen van die rede en die betekenis van rasionaliteit vorm tradisioneel 'n sentrale fokus van die filosofie. Vanuit die perspektief van die moderne metafisiese tradisie het hierdie fokus ontwikkel rondom die tema van subjektiwiteit in die algemeen, en die aanname van 'n a-historiese transendentele subjek in die besonder. Die rede was dus fundamenteel vir die artikulasie en legitimering van die konsepte van waarheid en vryheid. Vanuit die perspektief van moderniteit was die rede dus die voorwaarde vir die moontlikheid van verligting, vryheid, en morele vooruitgang. Die debat tussen Habermas en die verteenwoordigers van postmoderne denke verteenwoordig die mees onlangse hoofstuk van die verhaal van die vraag na rede en rasionaliteit - die beperkings daarvan, asook die moontlikhede daarvan. Hierdie debat bied besondere uitdagings omdat Habermas, terwyl hy die idee van rede verdedig teen die kritiek van die postmoderniste, eintlik met hulle saamstem vir sover hulle die tradisie van metafisiese denke verwerp. In die lig van sy verdediging van die idee van rede, is Habermas egter voortdurend daarvan beskuldig dat hy 'n uitgediende en gediskrediteerde vorm van filosofiese denke bly voorstaan, terwyl sy opponente in die algemeen voorgehou is as progressiewe denkers wat suksesvol 'n radikale breuk gemaak het met die konseptuele erfenis van die metafisiese tradisie. In my dissertasie beweer ek dat die teenoorgestelde inderwaarheid die geval is, naamlik dat dit Habermas, en nie sy postmoderne opponente nie, is wat hierdie radikale breuk met metafisiese denke suksesvol uitgevoer het. Dit is sy verrnoe om die idee van die rede te transformeer vanaf 'n transendentale na 'n post- metafisiese konsep, in terme waarvan die vraag na rede en rasionaliteit, en die verwante idees van waarheid en kennis, omskep is in fallibilistiese beg rippe, wat, soos ek aantoon, 'n (die!) suksesvolle transendering van die metafisika bewerkstellig. Die postmoderne wending, aan die ander kant, in die lig van die traagheid daarvan om 'n alternatiewe en verruimde konsepsie van rasionaliteit te ontwikkel, bly vasgevang in 'n vorm van transendentele denke waarin dit probeer om ondersoek in te stel na die (on)moontlikheid van die rede ten aansien van die afwesigheid van 'n transendentele subjek. Uiteindelik beweer ek dat dit die post-metafisiese eerder as die postmoderne denke is wat aan ons 'n praktiese alternatief bied vir die problematiese konsep van die rede, soos ons dit qeerf het by die tradisie van metafisiese denke.

Abstract:
This thesis seeks to explore how young, educated and seemingly liberated women construct their identities and make sense of their futures around their heterosexual relationships. Using the experiences of eight women participants engaged in long-term heterosexual relationships, combined with relevant secondary literature, issues of sexuality, identity, power and intimacy are discussed. Emphasis is placed on the implications of their identity construction and how they 'perform' their roles as women in society. How their sexual stories reflect their positioning in society is premised by the phrase, 'the personal is political' . Through analysis of the participants' experiences mixed with theoretical arguments, this thesis finds that young women are apparently sexually, economically and intellectually liberated but locked into discourses that provide highly unequal, limiting, disempowering and oppressive understandings of masculinity, femininity and sexuality. They live and experience a reality which is far from liberated.

Abstract:
La poésie parle de poésie ; les poètes parlent aux poètes. Ces évidences sont celles de la Modernité poétique, qui entérine à la fois les licences de la poésie, les missions du poète et leur cantonnement. Or, lorsque Nathalie Quintane, au dos de Chaussure (1997), écrit qu’elle entend « parle[r] vraiment de chaussure », et qu’il s’agit d’« un livre de poésie pas spécialement poétique, de celle qui ne se force pas », elle déclare s’émanciper du lieu spécifique du discours qu’a fini par désigner le nom « poésie ». Lorsque Tarkos, à de nombreuses reprises dans toute l’œuvre, affirme que la poésie est un discours de vérité et de clarification logique, d’exactitude restrictive, de pragmatisme et d’efficacité, de discernement, il lui assigne des taKches qui l’éloignent du canton du discours auquel une certaine tradition l’assigne. Tous deux diffusent et diluent la question épistémique propre de la poésie dans l’ensemble du champ épistémologique ; ils font du capharnaüm des discours spécifiques l’environnement de réception et l’échelle d’évaluation générale du discours poétique. Notre première partie propose le couple question-de-la-poésie / question-si-la-poésie pour caractériser le renouvellement, dans les années 90, du jeu des questions adressées à la poésie dans la Modernité. Notre seconde partie élargit les cadres de cette problématique : à l’échelle de la longue durée, interroger la pertinence de la poésie comme savoir, discours, licence, revient à interroger la légitimité du personnage du poète à savoir, à parler, à s’excepter. Dans un va-et-vient entre intrigue courte (Francis Ponge, Jean-Marie Gleize, Christian Prigent) et intrigue longue (Platon, les premiers sophistes, le Romantisme allemand, Heidegger), la thèse confronte son corpus aux spécifications traditionnelles de la poésie, aux licences plus ou moins empoisonnées qu’on preKte au « poème », aux privilèges plus ou moins exclusifs et excluants qu’on accorde au « poète ». Les œuvres de Quintane et Tarkos s’y révèlent particulièrement radicales : elles tendent à contester toute spécificité de la poésie, envisagée comme une activité publique et séculière (aux prises, comme tout discours, avec le courant de la langue), critique d’une division du travail discursif, et attentive à ne pas laisser se reconstituer, dans la référence persistance aux schèmes archaïque, classique, romantique, moderne, un clergé poétique en charge de dire la vérité de l’EYtre, de sonder les profondeurs de l’expérience, ou de relever le langage ordinaire de ses compromissions mondaines. Poésie ne désigne plus alors ni un lieu sur du discours, ni un non-lieu du savoir, mais une « pensée critique » (Quintane) que seules spécifient la méfiance devant toute spécialité et l’assomption conséquente de la condition idiomatique la mieux partagée : ne pas savoir ce qu’on va direPoetry talks about poetry; poets speak to poets. These have become self-evident tenets of a poetic modernity that has at once claimed a specific license for poetry and specific missions for the poet, and assumed their privileged isolation. When Nathalie Quintane writes on the back cover of Chaussure (“Shoe”, 1997) that “it really talks about shoes”, and that it is “a book of poetry that is not especially poetic, of a poetry that doesn’t force itself”, she emancipates herself from the specific locus of discourse that has come to be called “poetry”. When Christophe Tarkos affirms, on many occasions throughout his work, that poetry is a discourse of logical truth and clarification, of restrictive accuracy, of pragmatism and efficacy, as well as of discernment, he assigns tasks to it that remove it from the region of discourse to which it has long been assigned by so many traditions. Both Quintane and Tarkos diffuse and dilute the epistemic “question of poetry” (“la question de la poésie”, a very common phrase in French modernism) throughout the epistemological field ; they make the hodge-podge of all specific discourses into the general environment of reception and the general scale against which poetic discourse is measured. The first part of this thesis offers the coupling “question-of-poetry” / “question-if-poetry” as a way of characterizing the renewal, at the beginning of the 1990s, of the series of questions addressed to poetry in modernity. The second part broadens the scope of this problem: in the long-term, questioning the relevance of poetry as knowledge, discourse, and license amounts to questioning the character of the poet’s entitlement to know, to speak, and to make themselves into an exception. In a to-and-fro between a short plot (Francis Ponge, Jean-Marie Gleize, Christian Prigent) and a long plot (Plato, the sophists, German Romanticism, Heidegger), this thesis confronts the traditional specifications of poetry, the more or less poisoned kinds of license attributed to “the poem”, the more or less exclusive and excluding privileges granted to “the poet”, with the works of Quintane and Tarkos. From this perspective, the works of Quintane and Tarkos are radical : they tend to contest the attribution of any specificity to poetry (which they consider to be a public and secular activity that is subject to ordinary language), they are critical of the contemporary discursive division of labour, and strive to render impossible, by continual reference to archaic, classical, romantic, and modern schemas, the reconstitution of a poetic clergy in charge of telling the truth of Being, probing the depths of experience, or raising ordinary language out of its worldly compromises. Here, the word “poetry” no longer refers to a safe place of discourse or a non-place of knowledge, but to a kind of “critical thought” (Quintane) that is suspicious of any form of specialization, and assumes the same idiomatic condition as everyone : not knowing, as you start speaking, what you’re about to mean

Abstract:
The works of 20th century French philosopher-historian Michel Foucault often operate in two areas. On the one hand, Foucault's works are histories that operate through specific structures of investigation. On the other, most of these works make a handful of remarks that are, if not methodological, then at the very least, theoretical and which provide a framework for the historical research conducted. Much of the secondary literature written about Foucault's work takes one of two directions at this juncture. On one side, the content of the historical investigations is often used to either support or question either the theoretical remarks or the structure of the investigations themselves. On the other side, the secondary literature often takes these theoretical comments, which are often sparse in both occurrence and detail, and elaborates upon these as the keys to the structure of the historical investigations and even Foucault's thought itself. This thesis will attempt to mediate between the structure of the historical investigations and the theoretical pronouncements made by Foucault. Theoretical comments will be measured against the structure of the historical investigations, giving them their specific weight; the historical investigations will be measured against the theoretical comments in order to highlight their specific structure. This is an important process for assessing Foucault's works precisely because of the distance that often separates the structure of the investigations from the theoretical comments. However, due to the greater weight given in Foucault's oeuvre to historical investigations and the structures that they employ, as evidenced by their quantity and rigour, our examination of a number of his works will pursue more closely these structures of historical investigation. What we find through our examination is that Foucault's works display an anti-ontology visible throughout the variations in their structure. This thesis will attempt to describe these approaches from The Order of Things to The Use of Pleasure and The Care of the Self.

Abstract:
A research report submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Master of Artsin Political Studies by Creative Writing to the Faculty of Humanities, University of the Witwatersrand, March 2019Set in the context of a post-Apartheid South Africa, this research report constitutes a Foucauldian analysis of how state institutional support for SMME resonates with neoliberal governmentality and the consequent attempt to prompt the post-Apartheid subject. Relevant herein, are the state institutions that are mandated to further the states initiative of enterprise development. Primarily making use of archival analysis, policy data from these institutions were sought out and analysed. Analysing enterprise development from a historical perspective, it is evident that intentions have evolved with regard to two factors. Firstly, the ever-permeating growth in the promotion of ‘entrepreneurial culture’; and secondly, the differentiation of targeted subjects. Through studying these findings, it is argued that there is an attempt by the state to condition entrepreneurial subjectivities. It can further be argued that, as a consequent to the former, the agenda of the state is to outsource fiscal liabilities to informal markets. This research report ultimately constitutes a Foucauldian interpretation of these two cardinal findings.

Abstract:
This thesis investigates the work Michel Foucault produced in the late years of his life. During these years. Foucault gave many lectures on Ethics that were recently published into works. The thesis argues in favor of the differences he highlights between morality and ethics. and between care of self and knowledge of self. It tries to apply these differences to a modem day culture of the self in order to conclude that we must become aware of the complicated relationship one has with oneself and that this relationship is not simply one based on knowledge or rule-following. The consequence of this new study of self-relations should leave one the freedom. or open up the possibility. of developing different kinds of relationships with others.

Abstract:
This dissertation is a report on how Tom Lanoye, a contemporary Flemish
author who explores themes of social relevance, deconstructs the sexual
identity of his characters within the context of a postmodernist culture. The
manifestation of this deconstruction process is described within those
theoretical paradigms of Michel Foucault and Judith Butler that link sexual
identity and social mores. For the purpose of this research Tom Lanoye‘s
‘Monster’ Trilogy was selected. Set against the backdrop of Belgium society
during the late nineties of the twentieth century and highlighting the moral
downfall of the Deschryver patriarchy, Lanoye’s novels address an assortment
of contemporary gender and social political issues in his trilogy. These include
the following: political corruption; incest; homosexuality; racism; the sexual
abuse of minors; the relation between language and identity, volatile childrenparent
relationships; the subversion of gender norms and sexual
transformation.In hierdie verhandeling word verslag gedoen van die wyse waarop Tom Lanoye as hedendaagse eksponent van die Vlaamse versetprosa die seksuele identiteit van sy karakters binne die konteks van 'n postmodernistiese verwysingsraam dekonstrueer. Die manifestasie van hierdie dekonstruksieproses word beskryf binne die teoretiese paradigmas met betrekking tot die verband tussen seksuele identiteit en maatskappy van Michel Foucault en Judith Butler. Vir die doel van hierdie ondersoek is Lanoye se 'Monstertrilogie' geselekteer. Gesitueer teen die agtergrond van die Belgiese maatskappy in die laat negentigerjare van die twintigste eeu en gefokus op die morele ondergang van die Deschryver-patriargie, sny Lanoye se trilogie 'n verskeidenheid van aktuele gender-en sosio-politieke kwessies aan. Hierdie kwessies sluit in: politieke korrupsie; bloedskande; homoseksualiteit, rassisme; die seksuele misbruik van minderjariges; die verhouding tussen taal en identiteit; onbestendige ouer-kind-verhoudings; die ondermyning van gendernorme en die kwessie van seksuele transformasie.

Abstract:
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)Steven Millhauser has been recognized for his abilities as both a novelist and a writer of short fiction. Yet, he has evaded definitive categorization because his fiction does not fit into any one category. Millhauser’s fiction has defied clean categorization specifically because of his regular oscillation between the modes of realism and fantasy. Much of Millhauser’s short fiction contains images of labyrinths: wandering narratives that appear to split off or come to a dead end, massive structures of branching, winding paths and complex mysteries that are as deep and impenetrable as the labyrinth itself. This project aims to specifically explore the presence of labyrinthine elements throughout Steven Millhauser’s short fiction. Millhauser’s labyrinths are either described spatially and/or suggested in his narrative form; they are, in other words, spatial and/or discursive. Millhauser’s spatial labyrinths (which I refer to as ‘architecture’ stories) involve the lengthy description of some immense or underground structure. The structures are fantastic in their size and often seem infinite in scale. These labyrinths are quite literal. Millhauser’s discursive labyrinths demonstrate the labyrinthine primarily through a forking, branching and repetitive narrative form. Millhauser’s use of the labyrinth is at once the same and different than preceding generations of short fiction. Postmodern short fiction in the 1960’s and 70’s used labyrinthine elements to draw the reader’s attention to the story’s textuality. Millhauser, too, writes in the experimental/fantastic mode, but to different ends. The devices of metafiction and realism are employed in his short fiction as agents of investigating and expressing two competing visions of reality. Using the ‘tricks’ and techniques of postmodern metafiction in tandem with realistic detail, Steven Millhauser’s labyrinthine fiction adjusts and reapplies the experimental short story to new ends: real-world applications and thematic expression.
