چکیده
|
The present thesis endeavors to address the issues of privileging men over women, the return of the ghosts, and influence of media on people’s decisions in the selected novels by Lisa Unger in the light of the theories of Jacques Derrida. In the Blood (2014) and Crazy Love You (2015) are the selected novels that will be discussed in this thesis. The problem of privileging the male over the female is studied based on Jacques Derrida’s concept of différance; the return of the ghosts is investigated according to his theory of supplement; and undecidability examines the influence of media on people’s decisions. Also, this thesis approaches the previous academic studies on the novels that form the material of this research and tries to shed light on the ignored parts of the two novels in the previous studies. A problem is the right choice of critical concepts in comparison to the previous works. As an instance it is explained why logocentrism or mosaic of quotations are not suitable concepts to read the two novels critically. Another problem is the issue of Lane’s sex changes; the present researcher has rejected the previous arguments about the two sex changes and has come up with a new idea. To sum up, not only has this thesis fixed the previous studies’ mistakes, but also it has come up with new ideas about the ignored details of the two novels that have not been considered before.
