Abstract
This paper aims to combine literary theory with the philosophical works of the Frankfurt School of philosophy in order to analyse Ella Minnow Pea, a 2001 novel by Mark Dunn. The novel depicts an emergence of a totalitarian regime in a seemingly well-functioning society, whose inclination towards eloquent expression is put to the test as their vocabulary is forcibly reduced by the gradually imposed restriction of allowed letters. The novel is devoid of any real historical distinctions, and that contributes to the abandonment of a realistic style, which in turn continuously calls for the reader’s critical attitude. The consideration of that similarity with the critical theory ideas presented by Theodor W. Adorno, a member of the Frankfurt School, alongside many other parallels, enable these texts to be placed in a productive critical relation.
Abstract (croatian)
Cilj ovog rada je kombinirati književnu teoriju s filozofskim djelima Frankfurtske filozofske škole kako bi se omogućila analiza romana Ella Minnow Pea Marka Dunna napisanog 2001. godine. Roman prikazuje pojavu totalitarističkog režima u naizgled funkcionalnom društvu čija je naklonost k rječitom izražavanju stavljena na kušnju kada postupno ograničavanje dozvoljenih slova prisilno reducira njihov vokabular. Roman je lišen bilo kakvih pravih povijesnih obilježja te to doprinosi odmaku od realističnog stila, što potom neprekidno iziskuje kritičan stav čitatelja. Razmatrajući spomenute karakteristike romana i ideje kritičke teorije koje je iznio Theodor W. Adorno, član Frankfurtske škole, te uzevši u obzir postojanje brojnih drugih paralela, moguće je postaviti ove tekstove u produktivan kritički odnos.
