Parenthesized Lives: (Deronda), (Clarissa), (Ballard)

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Drawing upon John Lennard’s proposition that the parenthesis in poetrynegotiates the “ontological disjuncture” between a text and its “properrelative context,” a disjuncture that, in sociological terms, exists betweenprivacy and external forces, this essay begins by questioning if his propositionis also valid for the novel, a quintessential modern genre where the“ontological disjuncture” is arguably as deep, if not deeper. The essayraises this question in part because it is, as with Franco Moretti, aware ofthe demand that whatever “disjuncture” the novel deals with be negotiatedso as to leave its opposite sides intact. The questioning is also reflectiveof the fact that the essay understands as a significant diagnosis ofmodern society Karl Marx’s explanation that the “contradictions” resultingfrom the two—use and exchange—values of commodity are dealtwith in a way that “does not abolish these contradictions, but rather providethe form within which they have room to move.” Examining peculiarexamples of the parenthesis from George Eliot’s Daniel Deronda,Virginia Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway, and J.G. Ballard’s Crash, the essay thuspurports to show how the parenthesis has been offered as a subtle yeteffective means by which the characters in the novel manage to live withthe “ontological disjuncture” of their respective time, that is, to lead theirparenthesized lives.
