The Ridiculous Reconsidered: Schizoanalyzing the Shaver Mystery
by Andrew Ferguson University of Virginia
In a curious series of articles published between 1945 and 1948, Richard Shaver recounted his meetings with the remnants of an extremely advanced civilization now living underground, running surveillance on mankind and projecting voices into their minds.
Modern SF critics, when they deign even to mention the so-called "Shaver Mystery," treat it largely as a cynical publishing phenomenon, leaving further analysis of to the historians of conspiracy theories and UFOlogy.
My paper examines Shaver's statements in light of the schizoanalytic method developed by Deleuze and Guattari, demonstrating how the mystery is a peculiarly rhizomatic growth, an unpredictable phenomenon blurring the lines between author, editor, and reader-foreshadowing both the "inward turn" of the New Wave, and the interactive turn still ongoing today.
