Building on Patrick McDonagh\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s work \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Autism and Modernism,\u00e2\u20ac my dissertation elucidates how the formal elements of the modernist novel\u00e2\u20ac\u201dcriticized by Georg Luk\u00c3\u00a1cs for its potential to put readers in the mind of the mentally ill\u00e2\u20ac\u201dpaved the way for the conception of cognitive differences like autism since they demonstrated the isolating effects of deficits/differences in the individual\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s conception of time, sensory experience, mind reading and language. While the works under study do not present a homogenous attitude towards disability\u00e2\u20ac\u201dthey collectively present a spectrum of ability levels and often conflicted attitudes towards cognitive difference\u00e2\u20ac\u201dthey all prominently feature autistic characters and deem judgments regarding cognitive normality as inherently problematic. Furthermore, physical and neurological difference is often figured as inherently valuable\u00e2\u20ac\u201din terms of testing the aesthetic possibilities of the novel and in critiquing society\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s standardized conceptions of normality as it relates to such varied concepts as gender, sexuality and behavior\u00e2\u20ac\u201din these novels. While these works occasionally demonstrate a concern with the biological influences and primitivism of the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153other\u00e2\u20ac in a cosmopolitan society, I argue that these texts demonstrate as much of an interest in intellectual disability and deviance as a product of the racial and intellectual mainstream as they do racialized difference. These works, then, suggest an aesthetic and philosophical commitment to cognitive variance and deviance, as well as an anxiety regarding the changing nature of human experience and the individual\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s ability to adapt to a modern world. This project presents an important counter-point to critical perspectives that view modernist writers and novels as presenting homogenous attitudes towards cognitive difference and pathology."},{"label":"dcterms.available","value":"2017-09-20T16:52:52Z"},{"label":"dcterms.contributor","value":"Rubenstein, Michael"},{"label":"dcterms.creator","value":"Dotterman, Anthony Matthew"},{"label":"dcterms.dateAccepted","value":"2017-09-20T16:52:52Z"},{"label":"dcterms.dateSubmitted","value":"2017-09-20T16:52:52Z"},{"label":"dcterms.description","value":"Department of English."},{"label":"dcterms.extent","value":"268 pg."},{"label":"dcterms.format","value":"Monograph"},{"label":"dcterms.identifier","value":"http://hdl.handle.net/11401/77535"},{"label":"dcterms.issued","value":"2015-05-01"},{"label":"dcterms.language","value":"en_US"},{"label":"dcterms.provenance","value":"Made available in DSpace on 2017-09-20T16:52:52Z (GMT).
