  • More about The Concept of the Game in American Literature: True Freedom and a Mistaken Idea of Freedom

The game concept in American literature explores the concealment of division and emphasizes communication, drawing from McLuhan, Debord, and Pêcheux. It offers a methodology based on patterns of experience, structure, and language, highlighting interpellation and restoring American spiritual values.

Publisher: Peter Lang AG


The concept of the game in American literature represents a collectively recognized representation of existence, highlighting the concealment of division beneath the function of communication. This investigation explores the philosophical cornerstones of Marshall McLuhan, Guy Debord, and Michel Pêcheux, drawing inspiration from Henry Miller's innovative methodology. The game concept renders an essential social relation tangible (interpellation) and epitomizes a commitment to the restoration of American spiritual values. It rejects a mistaken idea of freedom and advocates for true freedom.
