Abstract
This thesis explores a novel by Mark Z. Danielewski - House of Leaves through Jung’s Shadow archetype, Derridean deconstruction and digital mediation, demonstrating how the novel’s fragmented structure mirrors psychological disintegration. The Shadow is not just present in the characters but embedded within the shifting, unknowable house and the unstable narrative itself, challenging Jung’s notion of integration. This thesis also uncovers how Danielewski uses nonlinear storytelling, typographic distortions and unreliable narration to align with Derrida’s différance resisting fixed meaning and reinforcing the instability of identity. Additionally, the novel’s hypertext-like format reflects the nonlinear nature of the unconscious, drawing from insights in digital media theory. Ultimately, House of Leaves forces its readers, like its characters, to navigate a labyrinth of psychological and textual uncertainty, leaving the question of whether the Shadow can be confronted or if it will remain an ever-shifting presence.
Abstract (croatian)
Ovaj rad istražuje roman House of Leaves Marka Z. Danielewskog kroz Jungov arhetip Sjene, Derridovu dekonstrukciju i digitalno posredovanje, kako bi pokazala kako fragmentirana struktura romana odražava psihološku dezintegraciju. Sjena nije samo prisutna u likovima, već je ugrađena u promjenjivu, nespoznatljivu kuću i samu nestabilnu naraciju, izazivajući Jungov pojam integracije. Ova teza također otkriva kako Danielewski koristi nelinearno pripovijedanje, tipografske distorzije i nepouzdanu naraciju kako bi se uskladio s Derridovim pojmom ‘différance’ koji se opire fiksnom značenju i jača nestabilnost identiteta. Osim toga, format romana nalik hipertekstu odražava nelinearnu prirodu podsvijesti, proizlazeći iz uvida u teoriju digitalnih medija. U konačnici, House of Leaves navodi svoje čitatelje, kao i njezine likove, da se kreću labirintom psihološke i tekstualne neizvjesnosti, ostavljajući pitanje može li se suočiti sa Sjenom ili će ostati stalno promjenjiva prisutnost.
