Item The Philosophical Revolution Within Fight Club(Faculté des Langues Etrangères. Université d'Alger 2 Abu Al-Qasim Saadallah, 2022-12-30) Ghebache, ImeneThe present article tackles the underlined revolutionary philosophy behind Chuck Palahniuk‟s work, Fight Club. It is based on Nietzsche‟s „Superman‟ philosophical concept that is eventually adopted by the main character of the novel, known as the nameless narrator as a reaction against consumerism in a postmodern capitalist context, which eventually triggers a philosophical revolution. Chuck Palahniuk is amongst the most prominent figures of transgressive writing that deals with anti-conformist and anti-consumerist characteristics within fiction. Fight Club seems to be the most suitable work that can be used as a case study for this topic since the whole story happens in a postmodern consumer setting wherein capitalism has enslaved its people, except for the main protagonist who decides to wage a revolution against his society. Ultimately, these anti-conformist and anti-consumerist behaviors from the narrator make of Fight Club the most appropriate novel amongst the other Palahniuk‟s literary works to be studied.Item Eugene O’neill’s The Hairy Ape And Virginia Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway(Faculté des Langues Etrangères. Université d'Alger 2 Abu Al-Qasim Saadallah, 2023-12-31) Tegaoua, KenzaThe present paper deals with the pathos of communication in the 20th Century literature; more precisely, how language is no more fulfilling its role as a means of communication which leads to the collapse of verbal communication in favor of silence. Relying on Winston Weathers‟ study “Communications and Tragedy in Eugene O‟Neill,” the research attempts to extract the failure of communication by conducting a comparative study between the American author Eugene O‟Neill and his play The Hairy Ape(1922)and the English writer Virginia Woolf with her novel Mrs. Dalloway(1925). The final results of this study assert skepticism towards words and consolidate the failure of verbal communication in favor of a new means of communication: silence which is pushed to its most extreme form (death).
