Course Description
As the final entry of Trilogy, The Unnamable by pushing possibilities to the limit problematizes the presence of subjectivity fundamentally conditioned by its exteriority, be it language or symbolic Other. This course is designed to apply a theoretical investigation to Samuel Beckett’s The Unnamable on the issue of language and being in the novel. General Beckettian study revolving the axis of post-structuralism will be treated as the threshold. Concepts of theorists like Blanchot, Badiou, Derrida, and Deleuze will be drawn into the discussion. This course purports to lay Agamben’s theoretical framework as foundation to explore the relation as non-relation between language and being in The Unnamable. The key concepts like paradigm, being-beside-itself, form-of-life and infancy will be covered and closely studied.
