This article offers a Deleuzian practice of reading as a form of problematization: constructing or “mapping” an author’s lived problematics to which his or her writing responds as so many solutions. Unlike readings that treat authors as patients whose personal pathological symptoms manifest in their literary works, a Deleuzian reading sees them as physicians of their cultures responding to an intolerable mode of existence, which is indiscernibly both personal and collective. A Deleuzian reading thus explores both the symptoms of pathological social present and new possibilities of life as they receive formal expressions in the literary work and the author’s style. Such practice essentially operates by actively constructing a series of underlying problems and their corresponding formal solutions, a move that, at the same time, establishes immanent criteria for critically evaluating a particular literary response (a solution) to the entrapment of life forces in pathological modes of existence (a problematics). The author discusses how and why a Deleuzian reading is both possible and desirable and takes Israeli author David Grossman’s novel The Book of Intimate Grammar as its primary case. This reading studies the novel through three conceptual problems in literary theory: the author as the site of the creative process, the use of language as an expression of an author’s literary technique, and the conditions for literary enunciation. It also demonstrates the strengths and benefits of Deleuzian readings in extra-Anglophone and extra-Francophone contexts.

The Way

Sebuah karya sastra adalah produk kreativitas seorang pengarang dalam memandang kehidupan dan lingkungan sosial ketika karya tersebut diperkenalkan. Dalam proses kreatifnya, seorang pengarang melakukan kerja keras dan serius dalam berbagai dimensi kehidupan dengan realisasi estetiknya dan berujung pada proses imajinatif, kontemplatif, reaktif, reflektif, dan refraktif. Ini dilakukan untuk merepresentasikan karya-karya sastra pengarang. Oleh karena itu, estetika diinternalisasikan ke dalam karya-karya sastra beserta genrenya. Masalah estetika sastra adalah aspek menarik untuk diteliti karena mewarisi gagasan kontemporer mengenai simbol dan pengalaman estetik dengan sifat uniknya. Dalam perjalanan kontemplasinya, seorang pengarang terkadang dihadapkan pada sebuah kontradiksi antara konvensi dan kreasi yang membuat pembacanya terkejut. Fenomena yang hampir sama terjadi dalam novel berjudul Nayla karya Djenar Maesa Ayu. Dalam novel ini, pengarang memiliki semacam kesensitifan untuk menghadapi sebuah objek dan kemampuan untuk menyerap makna keindahan. Keindahan tersebut ditata dengan menghubungkan sifat subjek dan objek melalui keterampilan dalam menata dan mengombinasikan bahasa. Itulah cara bagaimana seorang pengarang bekerja dalam koridor estetika untuk mengekspos konflik, perjuangan, dan dominasi dalam teks sastra. Abstract: A literary work is an author creativity product in seeing life and social environment in the time when the work is introduced. In his creative process, an author performs a hard and serious work on various life dimensions with their esthetic realization that ends in the imaginative, contemplative, reactive, reflective, and refractive process. This is done to represent the author’s literary works. Therefore, esthetics is internalized in the literary works along with their genres. The issues on esthetics in literature are interesting aspects to investigate since they inherit contemporary ideas pertaining to symbols and esthetic experience with its unique features. In his journey of contemplation, an author is sometimes confronted with a contradiction between convention and creation that makes the readers get surprised. Almost similar phenomenon takes place in the novel entitling Nayla written by Djenar Maesa Ayu. In this novel, the author has a kind of sensitivity to face an object and ability to absorb the sense of beauty. The beauty is arranged by relating the nature of subject and object through the skills in arranging and combining languages. That is the way how an author works in esthetic corridor to expose conflicts, struggles, and domination in literary texts. Keywords: creative process, esthetics, reality of subject and object

Anyone on earth may at one time or another reflects him or herself in a way he or she feels comfortable—be it as simple as writing up a phrase “Go to Hell with Communism!” on a wall of an old building. In this respect, he or she has reflected him or herself that he or she does not agree with the ideology of communism. The current study investigated to justify that literary works reflect the ‘selves’ of the authors in one or more possible ways. A poet may, to reflect him or herself, be characterized as employing particular styles or diction. A novelist may try to involve in one of the characters he or she has developed in order to reflect him or herself. In this study, a novel entitled “Pride and Prejudice” by Jane Austen (1813) was investigated to justify that the author (Austen) reflected herself in one of the characters in the novel. The findings reveal that Austen tried to manifest herself in one of the characters called ‘Elizabeth Bennet’ in three different ways: (1) how she behaved in her family (loving all family members, especially being close to her father), (2) how she spent most of the time—reading to broaden the horizon of thinking. As a result, she could (3) skillfully negotiate with other people through their positive sides. The study concludes that everyone, of whatever professions he or she has, will reflect him or herself in a way he or she may not realize.

Aims: Describe the desertion and love of characters in the novel Gizzara (I am Waiting for You at the Boundary of Kuldenzen) by Fanny J. Poyk: a critical hermeneutic study of Jurgen Habermas. Study Design: Multidisciplinary Place and Duration of Study: Graduate Program of Indonesian Bahasa and Literature Education University of Lampung, August 2019 until now Methodology: Qualitative research is some scientific activity procedures that can be used to solve problems according to different perspectives and approaches. The process of parsing and understanding the meaning of literary works is the focus of hermeneutics. Data collection techniques in this study used reading, note-taking, and literature techniques. Content analysis is used to explore the ideas expressed by writers (authors) in the form of statements, questions, and character dialogues. This technique is to understand the message of literary works. Result: Based on the discussion, Fanny has made her work as an integral part of the problems that are happening today even though it is packaged in a past dimension with dozens of characters. Desertion may occur due to the opposing group which gives a feeling of peace, comfort, and even affection and love for him. Desertion is used to escape from psychological pressure. It is different from the material pressure, Psychology requires comfort in order to live a happier and more normal life. Although, other pressures (work, family, economic, or finance) affects a person's psychology and its culmination becomes psychological pressure too. Gizzara (I am Waiting for You at the Boundary of Kuldenzen) appeared as a literary work which is not just a representation of social or cultural, but also the alienation of the people that was shown in the past. Textually and contextually, this novel displays an awareness of human unhappiness for dealing with a world as not we desire.

A Performance

This article is the first-ever study on the Quebec novel L’âne de Carpizan ou L’évêque volant and its author, Raymond Goulet (1931-1991), a performance artist, dancer, and choreographer originally from Rivière-du-Loup. The novel was self-published by Goulet in 1957 and had fallen into obscurity until recently. In contrast with other literary works of its time, L’âne de Carpizan stands out as a brazen satirical piece that imagines homosexuality and transidentity positively and is, as far as we know, the first Canadian literary work in which the protagonist undergoes gender affirming surgery. In their study, the authors examine Goulet’s life and the circumstances surrounding the publication of his first and only novel, as well as the novel’s editorial history. In the first part of the article, following a synopsis of L’âne de Carpizan, they present the results of their investigation into the novel’s publication, distribution, and reception. In the second part, they recount the events of Raymond Goulet’s life and all-too-brief writing career.
