Abstract
This thesis addresses the treatment of knowledge and the absence of knowledge in " Superman," a collection of his short stories where apocalyptic flares illume against the backdrops of everyday miracles. In " Superman," seemingly oppositional terms and concepts are presented as variable parts of a greater context that embraces the inversion of correspondent harmony flowing to disorienting dissonance; it also embraces simulations, where perplexity takes on the guise of clarity. | 125 pages
