Don Delillo's White Noise: a Place- Based Ecological Study
The concept of place has become a basic concern in almost all works that handle an ecological issue. The purpose of this paper is to examine Don Delillo's White Noise from a place-based perspective. The study is a critical analysis of the major places of the novel. It proves that in this post- modern society the stereotypes of home as a safe, comfortable place and the supermarket as a place for purchasing some daily needs are converted. The novel depicts the family of Jack Gladney, a college professor, who live in a modern town, Blacksmith. However, a great part of the novel traces an accident of a train loaded with tanks of a poisonous gas causing a black poisonous cloud. This dangerous cloud sharply affects the behavior of people so that they become obsessed with the fear of death. Among the major places chosen for study are: the house, the state of being placeless, the camp, the school, the insane asylum, the place of medical examination, a hotel room, and the supermarket.
