Abstract
The linguistic study of African-American literary texts opens up a wide area of research. Due to this fact this research tries to establish a connection between two areas of study. The first one is Critical Discourse Analysis and the second one focuses on Bakhtin’s ideas of novel. This study applies transitivity as a tool of Critical Discourse Analysis in order to examine the ideologies of a racial society adopted in Invisible Man. In addition, what is highlighted in this novel is the presence of the author who tries to make a new ideology. Here a new dialogue emerges and this is a key to establish a connection between the two areas of study. This novel, according to Bakhtin is neither homophonic nor polyphonic. A new kind of novel develops which the researcher calls it a novel of dialogic ideology.
Highlights
As the title of this research indicates, it deals with two areas of study, the first is a critical analysis of the discourse of the Invisible Man novel and the second one examines this kind of analysis from the view point of Bakhtin
Another issue worth reflecting upon is that the analytical statistics which are presented in this chapter are based on two participants, one is the invisible man himself and another is the White community
As the table of Crosstabulation shows there are two kinds of comparisons the first of which is about the two participants of i.e. Invisible Man and the Community of the Whites which are the basis of the thesis analysis and the second one is among different types of processes
Summary
As the title of this research indicates, it deals with two areas of study, the first is a critical analysis of the discourse of the Invisible Man novel and the second one examines this kind of analysis from the view point of Bakhtin.According to assembled data, there is a meaningful relation between what is mentioned as the key point in CDA and Bakhtin’s ideas.Since the novel Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison, from the researcher’s point of view, points to the dialectical relationship of society and writer, it definitely opens up an area of thought-provoking research in relation to power struggle and ideology as it symbolizes a wider discoursal, cultural, ideological and social spectrum of a narrative discourse.The foremost aim of the study is to scrutinize how by the means of a critical discourse model, ideological structures are being expressed in a racial discourse to demonstrate various issues of oppression which have huge influence on the lives of the Blacks.
