Emerging ThemesFind a quote from today’s reading (or previous chapters) that you feeladdresses a major idea in the novel.1) write the quote on the top of your sheet of paper2) “translate” the quote into your own words—what doesit mean? Are there multiple layers of meaning?3) based on this understanding, what central ideas or concernsdoes this passage address?4) write a question based on this passage—either for the specificmoment, the central idea, or the book as a whole
Postmodernism: a drastically reduced history
PostmodernismPostmodern literature is intrinsically difficult to define. It is a combination ofmany movements starting around the end of WWII and extending up to thepresent, but a timeline is little help, due to the fragmented and disjointednature of postmodernism.Postmodern literature is perhaps most easily defined by what it rejects andreacts against:Traditional power structures (hierarchies).Singular explanations of truth and good.The idea that reason will save humanity.“Postmodernism is among other things a sick joke at the expense of revolutionary avantgardism.”-Terry Eagleton
Order and Reason: The Pre-WWII World
Where did order and reason take us?Hitler used evolutionary theory, in the form of Social Darwinism, toexplain and support his ideals of a Master Race.The utopian ideals of Marxism led to repressive regimes.Scientific advancement leads to horrifically powerful weapons.
Does this accurately reflect the world in the aftermath of WWII?
Postmodernists reacted to the horrors of WWIII am become death, the destroyer of worlds.TowritepoetryafterAuschwitzisbarbaric.-J. Robert Oppenheimer-Theodore Adorno
Grand Narratives: Hero’s journey, etc.Many postmodern texts exhibit abandonment of traditional plot structuresStems from distrust of grand texts and metanarratives
So, why does this matter for Slaughterhouse? Vonnegut is writing about WWII (1945), during the height of the Vietnamwar (1969) He is writing from personal experience, and rejecting the traditionalnarrative structure Three (major) layers of story WWII Tralfamadore Post-war Non linear story telling ‘unstuck’ in time repetition direct address Satire!(we’ll talk more about this Thursday)
Tralfamadorian Novels (p. 88 / 110)“Billy couldn’t read Tralfamadorian, of course, but he could at least see how thebooks were laid out—in brief clumps of symbols separated by stars. Billycommented that the clumps might be telegrams.”“a brief, urgent message—describing a situation, a scene.”“There isn’t any particular relationship between all the messages,except that the author has chosen them carefully, so that, when seenall at once, they produce an image of life that is beautiful andsurprising and deep. There is no beginning, no middle, no end, nosuspense, no moral, no causes, no effects. What we love in our booksare the depths of many marvelous moments seen all at one time.”
