  3. 3. Experientiality and Sensorial Gesamtkunstwerk in William Faulkner’s The Sound and the Fury

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för språk (SPR)

    Author : Niklas Erlandsson; [2020]
    Keywords : Synaesthesia; phenomenology; sensorial aesthetics; American modernism; narratology;

    Abstract : This thesis examines the semiotic experiences in William Faulkner’s The Sound and the Fury from a reader perspective by analyzing in what ways sensorial gesamtkunstwerk is used to convey or evoke sensations that appeal to the reader on a cognitive level. Drawing from Marco Caracciolo’s theories on experientiality which operate under the assumption that an evoked feeling from a text is dependent on the reader’s familiarity with their emotions and senses, this thesis claims that the bridge between narratological (textual) experiences and the reader’s experiences in the novel is made possible through sensorial aesthetics that appeal to our sensory modalities and that operate in a gestalt fashion to form a sensorial gesamtkunstwerk.
