Book Description
A reading of the philosophical idea of world as it relates to the posthuman subject in Beckett's short proseJonathan Boulter offers the reader a way of understanding Beckett's presentation of the human, more precisely, posthuman, subject in his short prose. These texts are notoriously difficult yet utterly compelling. This compelling difficulty arises from Beckett's radical dismantling of the idea of the human. His short texts offer instead an image of a being who may be posthumous, or ultimately beyond categories of life and death. And yet, despite this dismantling, the narrators of these texts still find themselves placed within material, recognisable, spaces. This book explores what the idea of 'world' can mean to a subject who appears to have moved into a material, even ecological, space that is beyond categories of life and death, being and world.Key Features:Provides a philosophical reading of Samuel BeckettRethinks Beckett in relation to the posthumanContributes to a relatively ignored aspect of Samuel Beckett's writing, the short prose

The Complete Short Prose of Samuel Beckett, 1929-1989
Author: Samuel Beckett
Publisher: Grove/Atlantic, Inc.
ISBN: 0802198430
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
Nobel Prize winner Samuel Beckett was one of the most profoundly original writers of the 20th century. He gave expression to the anguish and isolation of the individual consciousness with a purity and minimalism that have altered the shape of world literature. A tremendously influential poet and dramatist, Beckett spoke of his prose fiction as the "important writing," the medium in which he distilled his ideas most powerfully. Here, for the first time, his short prose is gathered in a definitive, complete volume by leading Beckett scholar S. E. Gontarski.

Beckett's Intermedial Ecosystems
Author: Anna McMullan
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1108963242
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 134
Book Description
This Element draws on the concept of ecosystems to investigate selected Beckett works across different media which present worlds where the human does not occupy a privileged place in the order of creation: rather Beckett's human figures are trapped in a regulated system in which they have little agency. Readers, listeners or viewers are complicit in the operation of techniques of observation inherent to the system, but also reminded of the vulnerability of those subjected to it. Beckett's work offers new paradigms and practices which reposition the human in relation to space, time and species.

Samuel Beckett's Wake and Other Uncollected Prose
Author: Edward Dahlberg
Publisher: Elmwood Park, IL : Dalkey Archive Press
ISBN:
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 368
Book Description
Edward Dahlberg, one of the last great men of letters, left behind at his death in 1977 dozens of uncollected essays, reviews, stories, and prefaces. Samuel Beckett's Wake gathers all the shorter pieces that were left out of (or written after) his two earlier collections of essays. The full range of Dahlberg's abilities in shorter forms is displayed here: from skillful reportage to imaginative essays, from proletarian fiction to inspired parody, from travel pieces and personal memoirs to historical studies, along with some of the most cantankerous book reviews ever published.
