Knowing Totality reads literary portraits of consciousness at the level of capitalist totality. The largest level of the project argues that there is a formal discord in certain twentieth-century novels between "knowability," or an accepted community narrative, and character "consciousness," which reaches beyond it. I locate within these formal breaks social and historical contradictions that characterize capital, where seemingly content-based issues in the texts-Rudyard Kipling's Kim, Joseph Conrad's Nostromo, D.H. Lawrence's Sons and Lovers, and James Joyce's Ulysses-manifest themselves at the level of form. The pairings place the novels in dialectical conversation, highlighting characters on the periphery of communities that are themselves peripheral in many ways to such centers of accumulation.Particularly, I explore the way consciousness navigates and exposes capitalist contradiction, accounting for the limitations of knowability and unevenness as part of the ever-expanding impulse to accumulate. Disruption as I read it in the seemingly knowable community recognizes not only what Ernst Lohoff has called the asocial sociality of consciousness, but also capitalism's inherent need to establish limits that it must continuously encounter and transcend. My readings of the disruptive exchange between community narrative and consciousness find both to be productively joined in and determined by their relationship to global capital. Ultimately, the dissertation is invested in the way that the form of the novel is uniquely able to glimpse, in moments of discord between individual and communal knowledge, a larger economic system that it cannot fully represent.
