خوانش جامعه شناختی مرگ قسطی لویی فردینان سلین

Abstract

Death in Installment, the second work of Ferdinand Celine, narrates the childhood and adolescence periods of Ferdinand, the story teller. This work reflects the sufferings and frustrations of the French people in the Golden Age which is well-known for being the time of carelessness and prosperity in French history. Whatever the author tries to illustrate is the lives of shopkeepers, administrative staff, as well as, children and adolescents of the middle and lower classes of the French society during the first half of the 20th century. Thus, we intend to study the social dialogues including the dialogues between members of the family, in workplaces, schools, etc…in the present research paper based on Claude Duchet's socio-critical approach which is relied on textual analysis. Then through finding the meaning of symbols and unsaid embedded in any place, character, and any signifier, we are going to achieve the Sociogram analysis of this work which is the adolescence and social dominance. With this assumption that the community illustrated in the text is a reflection of the reference society which is the same community existing in the French Golden Age, this work illustrates the worries and concerns of a generation from the narrator's point of view.
