Cet article est consacré à l’essai « Un truc soi-disant super auquel on ne me reprendra pas », dans lequel David Foster Wallace rend compte de son expérience de croisiériste à bord d’un méga-paquebot. Il analyse plus particulièrement les liens que Wallace tisse entre le navire de croisière et le parc, pensé à la fois comme un lieu clos aménagé à des fins de divertissement, et comme un espace flottant mortifère où s’opère un contrôle insidieux des touristes.

Low Culture

This volume introduces a new concept that boldly breaks through the traditional dichotomy of high and low culture while offering a fresh approach to both: unpopular culture. From the works of David Foster Wallace and Ernest Hemingway to fanfiction and The Simpsons, from natural disasters to 9/11 and beyond, the essays find the unpopular across media and genres, analysing the politics and aesthetics of a side to culture that has been overlooked by previous theories and methods in cultural studies.

The Creation

By analysing Dave Eggers’s autofictional work A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, this article attempts to reveal the role of this author in the post-postmodern narrative of the turn of the millennium. Following in the wake of David Foster Wallace, Eggers’s solution to overcome the problems created by postmodernism is a kind of writing based on honesty. Through a rebirth of the author, the objective of Eggers’s New Sincerity is the democratization of narrative in order to create a sensibility network aimed at ending the solipsism brought about by postmodern linguistic relativism. However, this new sensibility is reminiscent of pre-postmodern fundamentalism. The use of meta-metafiction based on the use of neo-Romantic irony enables Eggers to create an escape valve that allows for the creation of a metamodern oscillation—as described by Tim Vermeulen and Robin van den Akker.

David Foster Wallace foi um dos maiores escritores estadunidenses de sua geração, reconhecido como tal desde 1996, com o lançamento de Graça Infinita. Mas seu sucesso não se restringia à produção não-ficcional. Entre seus textos mais conhecidos estão ensaios publicados em revistas e compilados nos volumes A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again, Consider the Lobster, e Both Flesh and Not. Daniel Galera e Daniel Pelizzari traduziram alguns deles em 2012, criando a coletânea Ficando longe do fato de já estar meio que longe de tudo, que buscava ser uma porta de entrada para leitores brasileiros a obras de Wallace, antes da tradução de Graça Infinita. Essa seleção, buscando atrair o leitor, não pôde evitar a omissão de alguns ensaios importantes - entre eles, The View from Mrs. Thompson, cuja tradução apresento. Ele gira em torno da experiência de Wallace ao assistir, pela televisão, de uma pequena cidade no centro dos Estados Unidos, os ataques de onze de setembro. Wallace descreve não só o momento do ataque, mas as experiências e reações que percebe em si e naqueles a seu redor ”” indicando mais ou menos sutilmente que seu maior medo, talvez, não fosse dos terroristas, mas da reação de seu país e de seus compatriotas a um ataque de tais proporções.
