Описание: Samuel Beckett`s work is deeply concerned with physical contact - remembered, half-remembered, or imagined. Applying the philosophical writings of Jean-Luc Nancy and Maurice Merleau-Ponty that feature sensation, this study examines how Beckett`s later work dramatizes moments of contact between self and self, self and world, and self and other.

Описание:

In the shadow of the Holocaust, Samuel Beckett captures humanity in ruins through his debased beings and a decomposing mode of writing that strives to 'fail better'. But what might it mean to be a 'creature' or 'creaturely' in Beckett's world? In the first full-length study of the concept of the creature in Beckett's prose and drama, this book traces the suspended lives and melancholic existences of Beckett's ignorant and impotent creatures to assess the extent to which political value marks the divide between human and inhuman.

Through close readings of Beckett's prose and drama, particularly texts from the middle period, including Molloy, Malone Dies, The Unnamable, Waiting for Godot and Endgame, Anderton explicates four arenas of creaturely life in Beckett. Each chapter attends to a particular theme - testimony, power, humour and survival - to analyse a range of pressures and impositions that precipitate the creaturely state of suspension.

Drawing on the writings of Adorno, Agamben, Benjamin, Deleuze and Derrida to explore the overlaps between artistic and political structures of creation, the creature emerges as an in-between figure that bespeaks the provisional nature of the human. The result is a provocative examination of the indirect relationship between art and history through Beckett's treatment of testimony, power, humour and survival, which each attest to the destabilisation of meaning after Auschwitz.

Описание: Offeringfresh studies of Samuel Beckett in pre-production, in rehearsal, as an innovator of the script form, and as a speculative director and designer, Beckett's Laboratory reconsiders Beckett's stringent approach to stage direction through the lens of the laboratory and reveals his experimentalism with stage representation and composition. Wakeling argues that acknowledging Beckett's experimental processes, from their composition to their reception, is crucial to understanding the innovative representations of humanity that emerged at different stages in Beckett's practice.

Repositioning Beckett's performance oeuvre in relation to philosophy, Wakeling draws upon post-dramatic, symbolist, materialist and post-structural understandings of theatre performance to reappraise Beckett's plays as a composition for performance. The philosophical underpinnings of Beckett's practices are explored through an eclectic mix of familiar and unexplored contemporary theatre productions and films of Beckett's works, including Not I, Nacht und Trдume, Happy Days, Footfalls and Catastrophe.

Beckett's Laboratory is a provocative examination of Beckett's experimentalism with the human spectacle and his playful reliance upon the interpretative powers of the actors and audience.

Описание:

For years the novel Watt has been overlooked or explained away in the most cursory fashion by scholars and critics who have otherwise paid the most scrupulous attention to the rest of Samuel Beckett's work. Now, Gottfried B ttner, a philosopher as well as a physician trained in psychology, offers a penetrating analysis of the work's narrative form and a convincing interpretation of Watt's journey.

B ttner interprets Watt through hermeneutic analysis in order to demonstrate the metaconscious state of being which he believes is central not only to this novel, but also to Beckett's oeuvre. B ttner's method combines a biographical, psychological, and anthropological approach. He offers an exegesis of the narrative form and moves to a convincing interpretation of Watt's journey as the Lebenswanderung from birth to death and back to birth into the unknown. His analysis reveals that in Watt Beckett sought to unveil the hidden experience of a soul suffering under the ordeal of birth and death, and even under an ordeal of rebirth. A kind of soul-wandering, a metamorphosis of the spirit, has thus been made clear for the reader in the figure of Watt in Beckett's novel.

B ttner's work is informed not only by his far-reaching literary interests but by his twenty years of intellectual friendship with Beckett. Their correspondence has touched upon questions of translation, philological intent, and interpretation of the text. While Beckett made it clear that he would not explicate his writings and would insist that text and exegesis stand separately, his degree of interest in B ttner's work is unparalleled.

Описание: Drawing on private correspondence and little known documents, published and unpublished, Pilling explores every aspect of the More Pricks Than Kicks short story collection. From its publishing history to why they were written, Pilling reveals Beckett's conflicted feelings about the 'compromise' of writing short stories and his struggle to find a voice distinct from James Joyce, his friend and authority of the form. By discussing each story as separate entity, in a grouping that deviates from the collection, and by analysing 'Echo's Bones', Pilling makes new comparisons and contrasts, illustrating Beckett's idiosyncratic handling of the form. Making sure to place the stories in the context of the post-war work, this early study of Beckett highlights the years and work central to his development as a writer.
