| Abstract | This paper purports to analyze the psychological trauma that hurts the development of the Western masculine identity. In this approach, one will not place the postmodern within a modern order of complete masculine selfhood. The present thesis, therefore, rejects this suggestion since it explains that the postmodern ego completely shatters the shackles of classicism by a subversive strategy. The paper is availed to the task of investigating the postmodern and the subversive gestures deployed by Thomas Pynchon with a deep focus on the relation between the individual and the technological. As shall be mentioned in the course of the analysis, Pynchon establishes a tradition of subversion which adopts a contradictory vision that at once uses and abuses, installs and destabilizes the enlightenment conventions in parodic ways. |
