A Peircean Phenomenological Approach to Edgar Allan Poe's Noise and Politics
While Poe uses noise to construct an auditory space for his text,he also constructs a metaphor between noise and power,highlighting the dissolving function of noise in his works.Based on Peirce's phenomenological theory of the existence of three levels of ob-jects,this article treats the study of noise in literature as a kind of law,explores its function of disintegrating the center of power,and fur-ther deduces what appears under this law.It identifies three forms of power struggle under this law,including political,gender,and racial struggles,and explains how noise becomes a unique channel to reveal the social and political connotations of Poe's texts.The research enriches the study of noise in the field of literature and provides certain reference for interdisciplinary study on literature and noise.
