Abstract	! This thesis focuses on the internalization of identity in Chuck Palahniuk’s novels Lullaby and Survivor in regards to each character’s role within their respective families and surroundings (environments). Using both Baudrillard and Foucault’s theories, we can demonstrate that one’s identity, created by our modern society, can be explained by its domination by the capitalist mantra and the mediatic presence. The literary universes created by Palahniuk are in the American style where literary language is used to develop the notions of liberty and free will within the American national identity, enabling the main protagonists to fight against the various control methods present within this society (inspired by Weinstein’s project). This study does not focus solely on the internalization of identity, both individual and cultural, but also on the problems related to the masculine identity as well as the character’s passivity in both novels. The author attemps to solve these problems by breaking its character solitude either by way of integrating them in a community that recognizes them as unique individuals, by establishing a connection based on the retelling of their personal history or by reconnecting with the feelings of filial love and belonging.
