Abstract
The purpose of this thesis is to explore Postmodernist elements in David Lodge’s novel How Far Can You Go?. I have identified them in his use of Postmodernist narrative methods which he employs in the construction of his characters, description of his settings, and in the inclusion of historical elements in his book. I have argued that in constructing his characters, describing his settings, and in dealing with historical facts regarding the changes within the Catholic Church during the Second Vatican Council, he uses realist modes of narration. Yet, at the same time, he disrupts these traditional procedures through his employment of authorial interventions and metafiction. This tension between realism and its denial causes interpretative uncertainty, asking for an engaged reader. My main contention is that not only Lodge’s inclination to use realist modes of expression while at the same time moving away from them and his decision to incorporate historical elements into his narrative, but also the uncertainty that his mode of narration in this novel produces can be seen as typically Postmodernist gestures.
Abstract (croatian)
Cilj ovog rada jest istražiti postmodernističke elemente u romanu How Far Can You Go? Davida Lodgea. Njih sam prepoznao u njegovoj uporabi postmodernističkih narativnih postupaka. Te postupke koristi u opisima svojih likova, mjesta radnje i kroz ugradnju povijesnih elemenata u svoj roman. Tvrdim da u izgradnji likova, opisima mjesta radnje i kroz povijesne činjenice koje se odnose na promjene unutar Katoličke crkve za vrijeme Drugog vatikanskog sabora, Lodge koristi realističke postupke, ali se od njih i odmiče kroz intervencije autora i metanarativnost. Napetost između njegova “realizma” i odmicanja od njega stvara interpretativnu nesigurnost zahtijevajući od čitatelja da u procesu čitanja bude angažiran. Moja glavna misao i tvrdnja jesu da se ne samo Lodgoeva sklonost prema uporabi realističnih metoda naracije od kojih se 28 istovremeno i odmiče te ugradnja povijesnih elemenata u strukturu romana, već i interpretativna nesigurnost koju njegov način pisanja u ovom tekstu stvara mogu shvatiti kao elementi koji su tipični za postmodernističku književnost uopće.
