Socio-sonic control, deviant musicality, and countercultural resistance in Nineteen Eighty-Four, Player Piano, and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

Marceau, Catherine 24 September 2021 (has links)
Ce mémoire considère trois œuvres littéraires des décennies d'après-guerre dans lesquelles le contrôle social est omniprésent, soit Nineteen Eighty-Four de George Orwell, Player Piano de Kurt Vonnegut, et One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest de Ken Kesey. L'analyse propose que ces auteurs examinent les réponses individuelles et collectives possibles face au contrôle socio-sonique, incluant le conformisme et la déviance, à travers la musicalité de leurs personnages. Mon approche repose sur des théories reliées à la sociologie, la musicologie et les études sonores afin d'élaborer une perspective holistique des paysages sonores de la modernité qui caractérisent les romans. Ce cadre théorique permet de traiter deux idées centrales, soit le contrôle social par l'institutionnalisation de cultures sonores et la musicalité sous forme de carrière déviante. Mon argument principal est qu'Orwell, Vonnegut, et Kesey présentent la réception sonore de leurs personnages comme étant doublement liée à leurs réactions face à la répression. D'une part, les auteurs représentent la musique et le son en tant qu'outils de contrôle produits et utilisés par des pouvoirs autoritaires. Dans les romans, ces pouvoirs établissent des normes socio-soniques qui supportent un système social basé sur la subjugation de la population sous une idéologie hégémonique. D'autre part, les auteurs présentent la musicalité en tant que moyen de résistance : ils établissent un parallèle entre les réactions déviantes de leurs protagonistes envers le son et les postures contre-culturelles de ceux-ci. La musique et le son font partie intégrante de la prose d'Orwell, Vonnegut, et Kesey; je soutiens que leurs représentations de musicalité traduisent une évaluation des notions d'agentivité et d'opposition contre-culturelle à l'autoritarisme. Ce mémoire offre une approche innovatrice à l'analyse des œuvres de par son interdisciplinarité, qui mène à de nouvelles considérations illuminant la relation entre le contrôle socio-sonique et la musicalité déviante dans les dystopies antiautoritaires d'après-guerre. / This thesis considers three literary works from the postwar decades in which social control is omnipresent: George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four, Kurt Vonnegut's Player Piano, and Ken Kesey's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. The analysis posits that these authors depict potential individual and collective responses to socio-sonic control, including conformism and deviance, through the musicality of their characters. My approach, grounded in theorizations related to sociology, musicology, and sound studies, develops a holistic perspective of the soundscapes of modernity that characterize the novels. This theoretical framework allows for an examination of two central notions in the narratives; namely, the institutionalization of sonic cultures for purposes of social control, and the concept of musicality as part of a deviant career. My main argument is that Orwell, Vonnegut, and Kesey present their characters' reception of sound as being doubly tied to their reactions to repression. On one hand, the authors represent music and sound as tools of control produced and used by authoritarian powers. In the novels, such powers enforce socio-sonic norms that support a social system based on the subjugation of the population under a hegemonic ideology. On the other hand, the authors present musicality as means of resistance: they interlink their protagonists' deviant reactions vis-à-vis sound and their countercultural postures. Music and sound are an integral part of Orwell's, Vonnegut's, and Kesey's prose; I argue that, through their portrayals of musicality, they foreground the possibility for individual agency and countercultural resistance to oppose authoritarianism. The thesis offers an innovative approach to the narratives, as its theoretical interdisciplinarity leads to new considerations illuminating the relationship between socio-sonic control and deviant musicality in postwar anti-authoritarian dystopias.
