A Deconstructive Analysis of Postmodern Themes in Selected John Ashbery Poems
Journal Title: UNKNOWN - Year 2024, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
This paper utilizes the deconstruction theory of Jacques Derrida to perform an extremely close reading of some chosen poems by John Ashbery, where the poets portrays the postmodern concepts. It provides a thorough overview of how Ashbery talked about fantasy through the language that later became his signature. By means of the use of Derrida’s approach, it is shown that in the middle are the myriad zones of obscurity, contradiction, and also many interpretations. This poetry, through critical scrutiny of the lingual pattern and the concept/allusion system, enlightens how the principle of Ashbery’s works confuses the approach to traditional thoughts and also perverts semantic stability. This analysis of Ashbery portrayed his questioning wanderings in the sphere of the unattainable notions of the sense in the post-modern context that extend the interpretations of the philosophical basis of postmodern literature.
