Area of Science:

  • Literary studies
  • Cognitive science
  • Phenomenology

Background:

  • Critical attention on animal-human continuity in Beckett's work.
  • Traditional analysis views character "animalization" as human regression.
  • This study offers a new perspective on "creaturely" states.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To re-examine the "creaturely" in Beckett's narratives.
  • To introduce and define "cognitive liminalism".
  • To explore liminal states of cognition and experience.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of Beckett's literary works.
  • Application of contemporary cognitive science principles.
  • Integration of phenomenological approaches.

Main Results:

  • Identifies "creaturely" figures as "undeveloped human cognisers".
  • Contrasts these with fully developed humans.
  • Establishes "cognitive liminalism" as a key concept.

Conclusions:

  • Beckett's work explores liminal cognitive states.
  • The "creature" is central to understanding these states.
  • Offers a novel framework for analyzing Beckett's characters.
