John Barth and the Anxiety of Continuance
Patricia Tobin
University of Pennsylvania Press
1992
sidottu
During the sixties and seventies, the fictional "reinventions" of john Barth, along with his misread and influential essay 'The Literature of Exhaustion," established the comic novelist as a leading practitioner and theorist of what was then coming to be called postmodern literature. In more recent years, however, Barth's reputation has been called into question within the ongoing critical debate over the criterion of "originality" and the status of literary repetition, imitation, and parody. In her spirited defense of Barth, Patricia Tobin employs Harold Bloom's theory of belatedness to confront and explode this issue. For Bloom, the later the artist the greater the burden of the past against which he must rebel and the more hopeless his task. However, Tobin argues Barth revels in his belatedness and celebrates the opportunity to survey a rich literary past and to bring back to life its dead forms, genres, and styles by completing, fulfilling, and "exhausting" them. Not a retrospective and negative anxiety of influence, then, but a wholly prospective and positive anxiety of continuance has propelled Barth through a distinguished career. Throughout, Tobin elaborates the conjunctions and disjunctions between Bloom and Barth with surprising results. Most notable, perhaps, is her examination of how Bloom's model of a "map of misreading" helps to elucidate, and even predict, the ways in which Barth sets each new novel in antithetical relation to the one before. Along the way, much is said about modernism and postmodernism, repetition and difference, and what it means poetically and willfully to intend a career. John Barth and the Anxiety of Continuance will be of interest to scholars of American fiction and critical theory.

John Barth's eminence as a postmodernist is indisputable. However, much of the criticism dealing with his work is prompted by his own theories of -exhaustion- and subsequent -replenishment, - leaving his writing relatively untouched by theories of postmodernism in general. This book changes that by focusing on the relationship between Barth's aesthetic and the ideology critique of the historical avant-gardes, which were the first to mobilize art against itself and its institutional practices and demands. Examining Barth's metafictional parodies in the light of theories of space and subjectivity, Clavier engages the question of ideology critique in postmodernism by offering the montage as a possible model for understanding Barth's fiction. In such a light, postmodernism may well be perceived as a mimesis of reality, particularly a recognition of the collective nature of self and the world."
John Barth represents most completely what has been termed postmodernism, not because his work comprises more postmodernist features than other contemporary writers but because, for Barth, "life" and "art" are two sides of the same coin. In this brief study, first published in 1987, Heide Ziegler examines all Barth’s novels. She argues that each pair of novels first "exhausts" and then "replenishes" those literary genres that hinge on a particular world view: the existentialist novel, the Bildungsroman, the Kunstlerroman, or the realistic novel. Through the division of labour between character and author Barth manages to develop a new mode of literary parody which projects itself beyond the mocked literary model and even self-parody into the realm of future fiction. This book is ideal for students of literature and postmodern studies.

For the past half-century, John Barth has been recognized as our quintessential postmodernist and praised as one of the best writers “we have ever had” (New York Times Book Review). In this unique collection, thirty-six writers and critics look back at Barth’s career, providing a deeper understanding of his books as well as privileged glimpses into the man behind the books. John Barth: A Body of Words is a bit of a chimera: a tripartite hybrid of tributes and reminiscences from friends, colleagues, fellow writers, and former students; a sheaf of cutting-edge scholarly essays; and a triadic conclusion comprising a description of the Sheridan Libraries Barth Collection, a rare recording of a 1966 public reading by Barth, and a two-part radio interview with him. At once a Festschrift, an assemblage of academic essays written to honor a colleague, and a liber amico- rum, this volume provides Barth’s critics, students, and fans with an essential vade mecum to his life and works.

Diese Arbeit befasst sich mit dem Einfluss von Tausendundeine Nacht auf John Barths Novelle Dunyazadiad (1972) und Naguib Mahfouz' Roman Tausendundeine Nacht (1981). Sie gliedert sich in drei Kapitel und eine Schlussfolgerung. Das erste Kapitel ist eine theoretische Einf hrung in die Bedeutung von Tausendundeiner Nacht in der Weltliteratur. Es wird auf seine Umwandlung in literarische Gattungen eingehen, n mlich Poesie, Drama, Roman und Kurzgeschichte. Au erdem werden einige vergleichende kritische Theorien zu Tausendundeiner Nacht vorgestellt, insbesondere in Bezug auf das orientalische M rchen, die Erz hltechniken und das sozio-politische Kontinuum. In Kapitel zwei wird der Einfluss von Tausendundeiner Nacht auf Barths Dunyazadiad untersucht. Es wird zeigen, wie Barth die Rahmenerz hlung, den Erz hler, die Charakterisierungen und das Ende von Tausendundeiner Nacht parodiert, um den Geist der Ersch pfung zu kritisieren, der in der zeitgen ssischen modernen Literaturszene vorherrscht. In Kapitel drei wird der Einfluss von Tausendundeiner Nacht auf Mahfouz' Tausendundeine Nacht untersucht. Es wird Mahfouz' Neuformulierung der Handlung, des Erz hlers (erste Sichtweise), der Figuren und des Schauplatzes von Tausendundeiner Nacht untersuchen, um die politische Korruption in der arabischen Gesellschaft im Allgemeinen und in gypten zu kritisieren.
