Thesis (Ph.D.)--New York University, 2004.

This study deals with positive evaluations of falling in modern literature. It examines how, from the end of the eighteenth century to the late twentieth century, the concern with physical falling brings notions of the body, movement and otherness into the constitution of the self in writing.

520 $a This study deals with positive evaluations of falling in modern literature. It examines how, from the end of the eighteenth century to the late twentieth century, the concern with physical falling brings notions of the body, movement and otherness into the constitution of the self in writing.
520 $a First, I examine the relationship between the revalorization of falling and changing paradigms governing the conceptualization of physical space, proposing that modernity's gradual embracing of lived time and space has centered around the phenomenon of falling and its fundamental relationship with writing. The body's scandalous materiality and imagination always threaten to emerge in Enlightenment's stabilized systems, both as the result of reason's logic and the source for its possible antidotes. Writing surfaces as a privileged place in which such instabilities can find their expression. I outline three consecutive historical clusters in which the writing of falling creates signification in the midst, as opposed to in denial of, modern uncertainties---by affording contact between scattered lived experience and an overall continuum; by enabling the working out of troubled affective memory in circumstances of transcendental homelessness; and finally, by facilitating activism within the discursive dissemination of the real.
520 $a Next, I examine these paradigmatic changes in relation to subjectivity. Looking at literary texts in conjunction with changing approaches in modern dance to the composition of the movement of bodies in space, I argue that their revalorization of falling forms part of an ongoing negation in modernity of the distinction between subject and object, linked to a reformulation of subjectivity as a dynamic relationship between the maintaining and the losing of stability. The subject's identity emerges in the nexus where the epistemological insight and the personal expressiveness of falling interact with its effacement in writing. Through this destabilizing relation with otherness, the falling body does not only embody modernity's crisis of meaning and authority, but also serves as a locus for the production of sense and identity---as a repository of presence; as the seat of trauma; and finally, as the carrier of gnawing otherness, using writing, respectively, as a technology of temporalization, transformation, and remediation.
