- W2895512302 abstract "Author(s): Gadberry, Andrea Lauren | Advisor(s): Kahn, Victoria | Abstract: This dissertation studies history of intimacy from late humanism through Enlightenment by examining how abstract concept of attachment becomes both a primary preoccupation and a crucial stumbling block in imagining subjectivity throughout period. Examining a series of authors (Shakespeare, Descartes, Milton, and Rousseau) who ask what it would mean to be essentially without social ties, this project reveals early modern period's ongoing conflict between a primary solitude associated with autonomy, isolation, and detachment and a primary sociality that assumes a natural order of attachments, bonds, and interdependence. This dissertation challenges conventional story of birth of or the invention of human with Shakespeare (or even Montaigne) by revealing a resistance to a conception of attachment that assumes inwardness; instead, it uncovers a more gradual historical shift in models of primary attachment from external to internal bonds, from attachments understood to occur outside subject to those forged by an immanent or internal principle of relationship. Chapter one argues that Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice and King Lear reveal a commitment to exteriority rather than interiority so often attributed to Shakespeare as it attempts to conceal fragility of social bonds and ease with which they - and social life - can be destroyed. Chapter two examines Descartes' Meditations and locates in defensive strategies of meditator an attempt to evade threats of attachment through a negotiation with poetics that leaves dependency precariously outside self. Chapter three finds in Milton's Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained a turn to an immanent sociality in figure of Son; in Milton's monism, a principle of relation inheres in all matter, suggesting that even total isolation is attended by this principle of relation. Chapter four studies Rousseau's Emile and shows how autonomy and even solitude of subject is secured by placing a relational principle around subject's soul. Finally, a speculative coda turns to Kant to consider legacy of solitude and autonomy in Enlightenment's most famous moral philosopher." @default.
