Abstract

In the paper, Don DeLillo's novel Mao II (1991) serves as an example of a relationship between cultural studies and the novel. Starting from the influence which this interdisciplinary field of research could have on the construction of the novel world, focused on the prevalence of cultural processes, the paper pinpoints and examines several aspects of selected chapters and scenes in the given novel in order to show some points of convergence and the shared interests between cultural studies and the novel, knowledge invested in them, meanings of depicted cultural phenomena and tendencies and their potential cultural value. The analysis is primarily focused on the presentation and interpretation of the masses as both physical entities and entities of identity and consciousness, as features of the discourse and the ideas produced.
