Transgressive Assemblages In Kurt Vonnegut’s Slapstick, Or Lonesome No More And Sirens Of Titan

Authors : Mengouchi Meryem . Hamza Reguig Mouro Wassila .

Abstract

Transgression and estrangement work hand in hand in subversive literature. They have the function of breaking the boundaries of imposed systems and crossing the new worlds that are different and free. Through science fiction, it becomes possible to write a transgressive work of literature using Estrangement. These concepts meet with the ideas of Deleuze and Guattari on Assemblage and Reterritorializations in the works of Kurt Vonnegut. His interplanetary settings and grotesque plots are perfect transgressive lines of flight and rhizomatic becomings, the point of which is to highlight the need of humanism and common decency in the common man’s life. .
