Abstract (english)
The author holds that the so-called “economic turn” in literary criticism has an unprecedented significance in coping with the present and in conceptualizing the past. On the present occasion, he engages Thomas Pynchon’s Gravity’s Rainbow and shows how the economic thematic is registered in the novel in different ways and on different levels. As a first step that substantiates this claim, he culls words and phrases from the novel that reference money. References to money are not confined to this or that episode or to the delineation of this or that character but are strategically strewn throughout Gravity’s Rainbow . After foregrounding the economic lexis in Pynchon and pointing to its incidence, the author proceeds to show how questions of the economy relate to thematic clusters which extant critical readings have designated as essential components of Pynchon’s novel. One such essential of Pynchon’s writing is his continual engagement with America. The author argues that a foregrounding of economic themes in Gravity’s Rainbow correlates with the novelist’s preoccupation with America.
