Abstract: This article analyzes the significance of the unstable body in Robert Coover's Pinocchio in Venice (1991), focusing on a triple model of body space: city, body, and knowledge. Notably, these body spaces are rooted in Julia Kristeva's notion of abjection, as they simultaneously horrify and compel. Further, the reinscription of Pinocchio into a “talking book” offers a new look at postmodern notions of the body and its control.

TL;DR: This article examined the evolution of the novel of ideas from its inception and critical decline to its relatively recent revival, using a variant of the exploitation-exploration dilemma in psychology, suggesting that early usage referred to works that exploit philosophical principles or better, enact them by setting philosophical positions in conflict.
Abstract: Abstract:I examine the often-denigrated concept of the novel of ideas from its inception and critical decline to its relatively recent revival. Using a variant of the exploitation-exploration dilemma in psychology, I suggest that early usage referred to works that exploit philosophical principles—or better, enact them—by setting philosophical positions in conflict. By contrast, use of the concept for more recent works sees characters and plots exploring philosophical stances. The shift corresponds with the greater attention paid to complexity and ambiguity that are hallmarks of continental philosophy and neopragmatism, and with it greater need to explore philosophical stances through fiction.
