| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立高雄師範大學 === 英語教育研究所 === 85 === John Updike's Rabbit, Run catches many critics'attention in many
ways. This thesis is about a re-reading of this novel in the
light of the theory developed by Foucault, attemtping to use the
discourse to investigate that people are tied to the power of
the discourse. Through the relationships of power, body and
knowledge, the "truth" only true to one's domain is gained.
This thesis includes five chapters. Chapter One is a review of
criticism of Rabbit, Run and states the applicability of the
FoucauldianReading to Rabbit , Run. Chapter Two is an
introduction of the Foucauldian theories. Chapter Three is to
analyze how the body is tied to the conflict of power and "will
to knowledge." Chapter Four is the description of "truth" out
of the relationships of power, body and knowledge. Chapter Five
concludes the thesis and justifies the adoption of Foucault to a
re-reading of Rabbit, Run.
