- W2965044086 abstract "This essay reads V. S. Naipaul's The Enigma of Arrival against the theory of cultural capital articulated in Pierre Bourdieu's Distinction. Based heavily on Naipaul's own life, the novel is typically read as an elegy for English rural experience in the postwar period, narrated by a figure almost identical to Naipaul himself; this narrator appears to grow into maturity by venerating the ordinary English subjects who dwell in the same countryside that he inhabits as an outsider. However, I argue that The Enigma ofArrival manipulates narrative structure—specifically, the juxtaposition of the older, wiser narrator with his supposedly younger, less cultured self—to transcend the postcolonial subject's marginal class position. The apparently provisional paths that lead to maturity, I suggest, are carefully curated in both the novel's narrative structure and its representation of physical space. In this way, the narrator can look back on a representation of outsiderness that he has already surmounted, paying lip service to the challenges of being an outsider but ultimately foregrounding his culturally sophisticated perception. Naipaul's novel thus challenges Bourdieu's formulation that cultural capital replicates statically across generations in a single family unit; the novel uses the postcolonial outsider to reinvigorate English culture's moribund inside." @default.
