Abstract: | NormanMailer'sThe Armies of the Night makes a deep incision in the post-war American civilization through the three days' 'Anti-War Demonstration' taken place in front of the power plaza,Pentagonwhere the inhuman and brutal suppression of the people's voices by the mainstream democratic government reveals the crooked nature of the dreamy American civilizedness. CharacterMailer's bruising commentary over the material progress of America and American formulation of the advance civilizational indicators like welfare state, democracy, welfare foreign policy, human right preservation, melting culture and social integrity seems to be merely the fictional charms createdand maintained by the power discourse of the mainstream Americans. Factual dimensions of the post-war American civilization are garbaged with the American totalitarianism, intervention, inhumanity, social and cultural devastation that are tacitly remonstrated by the demonstrators who create counterculture against the grandnarrative of the post-war American civilization |
