초록

This article aims to look into how Don DeLillo uses languages and generic factors in his novel Cosmopolis in the Bakhtinian perspective. DeLillo uses the core factors of popular genres and media, such as TV, street-performances and popular songs, etc. and engages his readers’ attention. In the case of Cosmopolis, such factors are various from curses, market shouts, street languages to literary languages, including confessions, diaries, all kinds of professional jargons, and diverse narrative devices, such as stream of consciousness, oxymoron and irony, etc. So it’s no exaggeration to say that this novel is an encyclopedia of languages. In the methodology, DeLillo prefers parody. For example, he reprocesses economic, technical jargons parodically and uses them to represent his critical intentions, so that without almost his direct comments, his readers realize easily and interestingly how the computer based global financial system works in the American culture. The result of our discussion here shows that the very parodic reprocessing lets this novel appropriate and stratify a variety of genres, styles, tones, nuances, etc. This narratology demonstrates the possibility of novel as an evolving genre.

Abstract

This article aims to look into how Don DeLillo uses languages and generic factors in his novel Cosmopolis in the Bakhtinian perspective. DeLillo uses the core factors of popular genres and media, such as TV, street-performances and popular songs, etc. and engages his readers’ attention. In the case of Cosmopolis, such factors are various from curses, market shouts, street languages to literary languages, including confessions, diaries, all kinds of professional jargons, and diverse narrative devices, such as stream of consciousness, oxymoron and irony, etc. So it’s no exaggeration to say that this novel is an encyclopedia of languages. In the methodology, DeLillo prefers parody. For example, he reprocesses economic, technical jargons parodically and uses them to represent his critical intentions, so that without almost his direct comments, his readers realize easily and interestingly how the computer based global financial system works in the American culture. The result of our discussion here shows that the very parodic reprocessing lets this novel appropriate and stratify a variety of genres, styles, tones, nuances, etc. This narratology demonstrates the possibility of novel as an evolving genre.
