This thesis investigates in which ways Samuel R. Delany’s novel Hogg challenge the discourse of normality as stipulated, supported and maintained by the capitalist Oedipal repression of desire. Drawing from Deleuze and Guattari’s theory of the Anti-Oedipus, this thesis explores how Deleuze and Guattari’s notion of desire as a free and productive force can be seen as a disruptive element in a society that relies on repression of the subject for its stability. Furthermore, this thesis explores how the novel questions the understanding of civilisation being dependent on the individual’s submission to the Oedipus triangulation and in extension the Oedipal capitalist separation between the public and the private sphere. Ultimately, the main argument claims that Oedipal repression of desire only allows desire to invest in a restricted number of representations, making other identities than the heteronormative suspicious or invisible.  Hogg depicts a society where capitalism commodifies everything, and need the Oedipal subject to ensure its stability. The characters in the novel that do not subject themselves to the capitalist discourse escape the subjection to the Oedipal triangulation, and are thus free to invest their desire in any way they choose, primarily in non-heterosexual and salirophiliac activities. These characters can be seen as schizoid subjects that are constantly threatening to expose the fragility of the social structure by embodying a contrast to the hegemonic discourse and therefore constantly question its authority as main creator of reason and reality.

Данная магистерская диссертация посвящена изучению проявления феномена трансгрессии в романах современного американского писателя-постмодерниста Чака Паланика. Объектом исследования являются формы, особенности и приемы, которые можно охарактеризовать как трансгрессивные, в выбранных романах Чака Паланика. Научная новизна исследования заключается в новом подходе к исследованию творчества Чака Паланика, а именно обоснование характера его поэтики как трансгрессивной. Практическая ценность заключается в выявлении новых критериев трансгрессивной постмодернистской прозы, которые можно будет использовать при анализе текстов, а также в процессе преподавания для построения кусов по теории литературы и истории зарубежной литературы. На основании проведенного исследования были сделаны выводы о том, что герои, проблематика, сюжетные и структурные особенности романного творчества Чака Паланика соответствуют характеристикам трансгрессивной литературы и являются проявлениями поэтики трансгрессии. / This master's thesis is devoted to the study of the manifestation of the phenomenon of transgression in the novels of the contemporary American postmodernist writer Chuck Palahniuk. The object of the study is the forms, features and techniques that can be characterized as transgressive in the selected novels of Chuck Palahniuk. The scientific novelty of the study lies in a new approach to the study of the work of Chuck Palahniuk, namely the substantiation of the nature of his poetics as transgressive. The practical value lies in identifying new criteria for transgressive postmodern prose that can be used in the analysis of texts, as well as in the teaching process to build courses on literary theory and the history of foreign literature. Based on the study, it was concluded that the characters, issues, plot and structural features of Chuck Palahniuk’s novel work correspond to the characteristics of transgressive literature and are manifestations of the poetics of transgression.
