In this thesis Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari’s social theory, which is based on their conceptualization of desiring machines, is analyzed within the references to Samuel Beckett’s works in two volume Capitalism and Schizophrenia. Focusing on Beckett’s works play a key role to comprehend the new ways that Deleuze and Guattari's desiring machines introduced, within their perspective against the traditional approach to desire which handles it in the context of lack. Besides, in this thesis a new interpretation on Beckett’s works is offered. Beckett’s selected works are presented within the social and political consequences of the conceptualization of desiring machines, and its implications on the notion of the subjectivity that is set forth in this framework. Thus, a new and radical reading is made that is stayed out of the mainstream when ‘Beckett’s Studies’ is viewed.

Nietzsche’s influence on modernist bildungsroman: the immoralist, a portrait of the artist as a young man, and demian /
Başpınar, Harika; Alpakın Martınez Caro, Dürrin; Department of English Literature (2014)
This thesis carries out a comparative analysis of three modernist bildungsromans written by André Gide, James Joyce, and Hermann Hesse in the light of Nietzschean philosophy. The Immoralist (1902), A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916), and Demian (1919) are all coming of age novels reflecting the zeitgeist of modern Europe at the beginning of the 20th century. It is argued that their protagonists are typical modernist characters who show a rebellious characteristic and strive for freedom and authe...
Jungian archetypes in samuel beckett's trilogy
Kızılcık, Hale; Sönmez, Margaret Jeanne M.; Department of English Literature (2005)
This thesis analyses the Jungian archetypes employed in Beckett's trilogy. It begins with an overview of Jungian archetypes and the relation of these archetypes to the fundamental themes dealt with in Beckett's work. The thesis then asserts that some archetypal features occur almost obsessively and are further clearly implicated in the main themes of the trilogy. The central archetypal patterns that frequently appear in the novel are the hero's quest, return to paradise and rebirth. This dissertation is the...
Heidegger and Foucault: On the Relation Between the Anxiety-Engendering-Truth and Being-Towards-Freedom
Karademir, Aret (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2013-08-01)
In his very last, now famous, interview, Michel Foucault states that his philosophical thought was shaped by his reading of Heidegger, even though he does not specify what aspects of Heidegger's philosophy inspired him in the first place. However, his last interview is not the only place where Foucault refers to Heidegger as his intellectual guide. In his 1981/1982 lecture course, The Hermeneutics of the Subject, Foucault confesses that the way Heidegger conceptualized the relationship between subject and t...
Deleuze and contemporary dystopia
Çokay Nebioğlu, Rahime; Korkut Naykı, Nil; Department of English Literature (2018)
The turn of the new millennium has seen the rise of late capitalism and witnessed a radical change in the structure of the contemporary world, which initiated a new social formation that is seemingly more flexible and liberating yet indeed more controlling. This dissertation looks at contemporary dystopia in the light of these recent changes, arguing that there is now a new moment in the history of dystopia. This new moment suggests that, just like the contemporary world itself, contemporary dystopia has gr...
Churchland, Nagel, and Their Severe Critique of Folk Psychology
Tümkaya, Serdal (2021-01-01)
In this paper, I attempt to show that Thomas Nagel and Patricia Churchland, two seemingly very different philosophers of mind, in fact resemble each other quite closely in their severe critique of folk psychology. Due to folk psychology's deep inadequacies, both Nagel and Churchland have suggested important revisions to it, which, strikingly, have led both of them to call their positions "revisionist". This paper makes a significant contribution to the philosophy of mind literature, since almost all philoso...
