Reveals how the body in Beckett, embedded in its material environment, exhibits embodied agency

Accents the importance of the body in Beckett and provides a new reading of the body in his postwar writing and experimental prose of the 60’s and 80’s

The first study of Beckett and Merleau-Ponty as thinkers of space, this book asks how the body’s relation to its surroundings both limits and enables agency

Shows how Beckett and Merleau-Ponty inform contemporary debates about post-humanism, ecology and the body’s relation to its material environment

Examines Beckett’s ambivalent critique of humanist agency (as will) and draws on phenomenology to reveal in Beckett a version of agency that is more robust than poststructuralist or deconstructionist models

This book argues that the abject, decrepit body in Beckett does not signal the impossibility of agency but demands its reconceptualisation. Analysing the representation of the body in relation to the environment in Beckett’s work, the author interrogates the power to do and act. Separating dynamic interaction from willed intention, Amanda Dennis shows how Beckett’s oeuvre refashions subjectivity in dialogue with a disintegrating environment. The book provides a phenomenological reading of Beckett to argue that sensation and embodiment support our interactions with our material world, enabling possibilities for embodied agency in collaboration with our physical and linguistic surroundings.
