Seminar paper from the year 2012 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 1,7, University of Bayreuth, language: English, abstract: Reading Coupland's Generation A in the context of Turney's rDNA definition, the administered brain samples which each of the protagonists consumes instigate a genetic experiment in recombinant DNA. Thus, based on the method of narrative analysis, the purpose of this paper is to reveal how those short narratives in Generation A visualize an rDNA experiment on a narrative level, i.e. which parallels between narration and this specific kind of genetic engineering experiment can be found and how narration and especially storytelling itself can work as a metaphor for recombinant DNA and therefore genetic engineering.
