초록
The purpose of this paper is to study the creative power of image in Don DeLillo’s Mao Il using Merleau-Ponty’s chiasm. According to Merleau-Ponty, our body and the world overlap by means of sensation which bridges us and other things around us through an intersubjective relation: we feel the world because it feels us. In this way, we and the world are intertwined, just as everything in the world is intertwined. And this is chiasmic on account of the overlapping in the mediating zone of contact. This is where DeLillo and Merleau-Ponty can be related. DeLillo acknowledges photography as an artistic medium in Mao Il as he utilizes some photos including the group wedding ceremony for 6500 couples held by Moon Sunmyung. Especially I note the fact that an impotent novelist Bill Gray contrasts with a professional photographer Brita Nilsson and an American artist Andy Warhol whose art uses many types of media including painting, photography, silk screening, and film. Among them, Bill’s defeat surely proposes the status of the novel, which has been dominated by multimedia systems. It also means Brita and Warhol’s art has a creative force putting life into its objects. In this context, DeLillo implies that visual art, today, is one of the productive tools to express the human mind and communicate.
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to study the creative power of image in Don DeLillo’s Mao Il using Merleau-Ponty’s chiasm. According to Merleau-Ponty, our body and the world overlap by means of sensation which bridges us and other things around us through an intersubjective relation: we feel the world because it feels us. In this way, we and the world are intertwined, just as everything in the world is intertwined. And this is chiasmic on account of the overlapping in the mediating zone of contact. This is where DeLillo and Merleau-Ponty can be related. DeLillo acknowledges photography as an artistic medium in Mao Il as he utilizes some photos including the group wedding ceremony for 6500 couples held by Moon Sunmyung. Especially I note the fact that an impotent novelist Bill Gray contrasts with a professional photographer Brita Nilsson and an American artist Andy Warhol whose art uses many types of media including painting, photography, silk screening, and film. Among them, Bill’s defeat surely proposes the status of the novel, which has been dominated by multimedia systems. It also means Brita and Warhol’s art has a creative force putting life into its objects. In this context, DeLillo implies that visual art, today, is one of the productive tools to express the human mind and communicate.
