Shipwreck Narratives: Out of Our Depth studies both the
representation of shipwreck and the ways in which shipwrecks are
used in creative, philosophical, and political works. The first
part of the book examines historical shipwreck narratives published
over a period of two centuries and their legacies. Michael
Titlestad points to a range of narrative conventions, literary
tropes and questions concerning representation and its limits in
narratives about these historic shipwrecks. The second part engages
novels, poems, films, artwork, and musical composition that grapple
with shipwreck. Collectively the chapters suggest the spectacular
productivity of shipwreck narrative; the multiple ways in which its
concerns and logic have inspired anxious creativity in the last
century. Titlestad recognizes in weaving in his personal experience
that shipwreck-the destruction of form and the advent of
disorder-could be seen not only as a corollary for his own
neurological disorder, but also an abiding principle in tropology.
This book describes how shipwreck has figured in texts (from
historical narratives to fiction, film and music) as an analogue
for emotional, psychological, and physical fragmentation.
