| dc.description.abstract | This study delineates the crisis of truth in the work Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut. It furthers this investigation into linking the novel to the postmodernist American fiction, locating it among the most successful and epitomizing works of postmodernism. The literature review shows that this work has been merely, and technically, studied on its surface meaning of language, i.e as satirical and ironic. However, this study will delve into the deep meaning and structure of this work, allowing more philosophical tools and methods to experiment. As a result, It triggers so many ontological questions such as, who are we? This research is an analytical study. Its main theoretical framework will be drawn on post-structuralism, mainly deconstruction and psychoanalysis. It aims to explore the reasons behind this intricate language and its notions of problematised truth especially after the Second World War. This study finds that the novel restores the truth of the American postmodernist fiction particularly in re-dimensioning time scale, the author and his ideology. It concludes that Slaughterhouse-Five is an 'eternal return' fiction that spreads a resurrection crusade mainly to the world, to spur the positive outlook on human beings. | ar |
