Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of California, Berkeley, 2000.
This dissertation explores the failure of language to refer to the world, and what that failure means for us as creatures of language. Language promises the certainty of a stable referential system, but instead creates a state of uncertainty and instability. Literature emerges from and exposes the failure of language, and this study also strives to understand and articulate the nature and value of literature.

The first two chapters focus on literary works that concern the workings and breakdowns of the process of reference. Lucette Finas's novel <italic> The Failure,</italic> Franz Kafka's story “Conversation with the Supplicant,” and Virginia Woolf's novel <italic>Mrs. Dalloway,</italic> present characters who perform self-destructive acts in an effort to do away with language and its equivocation. The characters in these texts seem to know too much about language, but the texts also disrupt the very separation of language and the world on which that knowledge is based. Literature reveals the fictive nature of the relation between language and the world.

In the third chapter translation could stand in the place of fiction in the first two chapters, as a vehicle for examining language that does not have extralinguistic meaning as its immediate goal. This chapter looks at Freud's lecture “Femininity” and essays on translation by Walter Benjamin, Paul de Man, Jacques Derrida, and Barbara Johnson. Freud wants to discover the difference between boys and girls, but the pure difference he seeks is as inaccessible as pure language is to the translator. Ultimately Freud discovers about both boys and girls what translation reveals about languages, that each is different from itself.

The fourth chapter shows how Toni Morrison's <italic>Beloved</italic> and Claude Lanzmann's <italic>Shoah</italic> tamper with the relation between language and the real. <italic>Beloved</italic> and <italic>Shoah</italic> are impossible stories; they bring together the impossibility or unspeakability of the real with stories of and in language. Aware of the lack of adequation between language and the real, Morrison and Lanzmann find a way to change language and to work within its difference and its fiction. These works demonstrate how to remain in language with the knowledge of its failure.
