ResumenLa segunda guerra mundial y los años posteriores a la misma dieron paso a un nuevo orden mundial en el que las personas, a merced de una alienante maquinaria social, experimentaron un progresivo deterioro de sus rasgos humanos. Las dos novelas estudiadas en el presente artículo abordan esta temática desde perspectivas distintas, pero con abundantes rasgos en común. Catch-22 utiliza fórmulas humorísticas y satíricas, mientras que The Naked and the Dead emplea un tono más sobrio y solemne. En dichas obras destacan los ambientes mecanicistas que anulan al ser humano, junto a la inexorable acción del destino o la fatalidad.Palabras clave: Joseph Heller, Norman Mailer, guerra, deshumanización, mecanicismo, entropía, destino.AbstractWorld War II and its aftermath gave way to a new world order and a mechanised society in which people progressively began losing both their human and humane traits. The two novels considered in the present study deal with these matters from different general viewpoints, but revealing several common features as well. Catch-22 uses humour and satire in its approach, whereas The Naked and the Dead adopts a more refl ective discourse of solemnity. Both works refer to mechanised environments that nullify human condition and render it insignifi cant, as they also focus on the element of destiny or fate.Key words: Joseph Heller, Norman Mailer, war, dehumanisation, mechanistic, entropy, destiny.

This article presents a discourse-based approach to negation by applying text world theory to the analysis of negation in the novel Catch-22, by Joseph Heller (1986 [1961]), The model developed for the analysis of negation is based on Werth’s (1999) notion of negation as a subworld which modifies information which is present in the common ground of the discourse. By so doing, negation contributes to the general discourse function of updating information in the text world. Additionally, negation may form part of contradictory structures which, being self-contained units, do not contribute to the updating discourse function but, rather, seem to block the flow of information. The analysis of the functions of negation is framed within a broader framework of stylistic analysis, where the objective is to discuss how the foregrounded nature of negation as a recursive feature in Catch-22 may have a defamiliarizing effect. The argument put forward in this article is that negation plays a crucial role in the expression of a conflict between what is presented as real and what is presented as not real in the fictional world; this conflict, in its turn, has important consequences for the way the story develops and the way major themes of the novel are treated.
