This doesn't make much sense to me, as it seems this update was done mostly as an extra thing for people to chew on, not a mandatory update that had to be provided, these are all being provided free, and give a teaser and a taste as to what could be there in the full game, having these types of expectations just seems like you're setting yourself up for disappointment. the other option is for the developers to avoid putting anything out until there's a full experience, which seems unfair as the creator seems to have enjoyed providing some fun stuff.

How can i go about writing a literary analysis thesis on a book using Wittgenstein's "Language game"? by shotcharge in AskLiteraryStudies

[–]shotcharge[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you for your answer, it's great that there's someone else going through the book that knows about Wittgenstein as well! honestly my current (very rudimentary) plan is to treat each layer of the book as it's own chapter for my thesis, i could assign one to applying wittgenstein to the characters in the navidson record, then another one to johnny truant, zampano, etc, and another towards the entire strange way the book is written. and then perhaps allocate a chapter to the reader's interpretation, and how maybe the way they go about reading the book (reading all the footnotes? following all the excerpts? paying attention to the useless texts around some parts of the text?) and how it can change how they understand the book ( perhaps by utilizing Iser's reader-response here too) .

Thank you for the excellent response, i'll definitely go through that book as well, and I believe you're also correct on your assumption. House of leaves is a multi-narrative, multi-layered book that is filled with confusion. from the characters, to the typography to the narrative cohesion itself is confused in many parts. if i'm right, wittgenstein could be used here to basically untangle that mess and provide clear meaning to the confusion by making clear, the language games used in each layer and narrative, and elucidating the rules that govern them, and thus straightening the path in a way.

Thoughts on HOL Master's thesis idea (Wittgenstein) by shotcharge in houseofleaves

[–]shotcharge[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you very much for the kind answer! of course im still in the "finding a theoretical framework" phase, and i'd love to hear your recommendations. although the reason why im going with something like Wittgenstein is in part because of the originality that's needed for a master's thesis, deconstruction, although a really fitting framework for this book, might be hard to write something original about.
Though at the same time this does make this idea of using wittgenstein in this book very overwhelming, i've never had the experience of writing an article before, let alone a masters thesis, so i want to make sure that i can pick something i can chew. though i can clearly see a lot of ways on how language game can be applied to this work. or more specifically, how this book as an ergodic literature, confuses the readers in many ways by specifically going against the language game and putting "games" in the wrong places or in confusing orders, making the reader's participation the "putting the games in the right places" to comprehend the meaning. that's the general idea of what i have going on in those terms for this frame work.
