1-1. In this paper, I discussed the ontology of quantum field theory. I show that ontology dealing with what exist and the meanings of the existing entities depends upon theory. According to the presuppositions of theory, hierachical levels of theories, the existing entities are different. I discussed the metaphysical presuppositions of classical mechanics, the wave and particle concepts in classical mechanics. And I summarized the evolution of the particle and wave concepts according to theory changes, for example, from classical mechanic to quantum field theory. All these discussions I inquired as a foundation for the connection with literary strategy.
2-1. This study shows how Eliot expresses de-subjectivification, de-substatiality, and undecidability in his poetry. This paper intends to radically rethink his essential poetics and his ontology on multiplicity in the wake of quantum physics. The poetic possibilities offered by development in scientific discourse intrigued a Modernist movement intend on remapping the theory of poetry. Using models supplied by quantum physicists, he formulates a mode of expression intended to encourage a whole new way of thinking about language and reality. This study traces how Four Quartets expresses the relationship between particles and waves in the image of "turning world" and "still point" respectively.
2-2. In short, Slothrop becomes an individual whole who is affected by things and events and even by Pynchon himself on the same field. As Slothrop as an individual whole, symbolized as "Mandala" as an emblem of integration, finally becomes a selfless self who is transformed from an egoistic self of Western man(the elect) to nonegoistic selfless self of universal man(the preterite). according to David Bohm's hidden variable theory, he is the unbroken whole of implicate order which cannot be separated between an individual(a thing) and an individual(a thing).
2-3. D.H. Lawrence suggests Subjective Science. This science is a source for the life and the soul belonging to mysterious area, which Lawrence calls ‘unconscious life and soul.’ A unique characteristic of Lawrence's novels is that human-beings' love relation and a life-force communication between all things in the universe work based on his subjective science in many scenes of novels. This scenes are described in such terms as "positive polarity", "negative polarity", "polarity", "polarization", "circuit", "balance", and etc., belonging to dynamics of physics. This can be ‘an electric-magnetic field model’ for dynamic exchange and communication of life.
2-4. The title of the project is of "a chiasma of contemporary architecture, physics, and literature".This is the space seeing what kind of phenomenon happens in literature and how contemporary architecture is influenced by paradigm shift from classical mechanics to quantum field theory. Because of looking at contemporary architecture through both wide and narrow view of physics and literature, escaping narrow bound of architecture and looking for dead space and otherness, the horizon of architecture is widened. The project consists of 'theorizing contemporary architecture through holograma", 'reading contemporary architecture being grasped by quantum field theory', 'literature and contemporary architecture'. The core of the project is theorizing contemporary architecture through quantum field theory. "quantum entangled", "unstable quantum", "non-locality", "hologram", "holomovement", the key words of Heidegger, or "ready-to-hand",and "present-at-hand", Melreau-Ponty's "perception", "reversibility of perception" etc.,in other words, the concepts are intertwined into making an architectural theory, try to read and criticize contemporary architecture, By applying the theory to literature, I would like to make sure of a new theory to work well.
