Abstract

BARBALHO, Maria Carolina Gomes. The order of chaos: epistemology of a time and experiences of rupture/discontinuity at the masterpiece the New York trilogy. Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2008, vol.8, n.2. ISSN 1808-4281.

The New York Trilogy is a post-modern detective fiction and as well comes up with some contemporary issues as the intensification of the experiences of rupture/discontinuity (once begun in Modernity). Once the disconcerting encounters with new are happening in a space-time each time more constricted, the categories related to an order, unities, certainties are being “replaced” by non-spaces, nothingnesses.   However, looking from an inside’s perspective, I chose to take the way not of those who miss modernity (and the “safety” that comes with it), but of those who consider not to fill the innumerable remaining emptinesses in order to conserve them as the true openings that they are, to accept them as the very twist of paradigm - and the fate of gaining not other thing than another paradigm. From this immanent bond between the being and the knowing, I will launch questionings in three different trails: (i) about the contemporary days, analysis of the novel itself; (i) in the contemporary days, analysis of discourse and authorship; (iii) about and in the contemporary days.

Keywords : The New York Trilogy; Epistemology; Contemporary; Subjectivation.
