Sound Effects: The Object Voice in Fiction
Author: Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004304401
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 359
Book Description
Sound Effects combines literary criticism and psychoanalytic theory in eleven original articles which explore the potential of the object voice as an analytic tool to approach fiction. Alongside the gaze, the voice is Jacques Lacan’s original addition to the set of partial objects of classical psychoanalysis, and has only recently been theorised by Mladen Dolar in A Voice and Nothing More (2006). With notable exceptions like Garrett Stewart’s Reading Voices (1990), the sonorous element in fiction has received little scholarly attention in comparison with poetry and drama. Sound Effects is a contribution to the burgeoning field of sound studies, and sets out to fill this gap through selective readings of English and American fiction of the last two hundred years. Contributors: Fred Botting, Natalja Chestopalova, Mladen Dolar, Matt Foley, Alex Hope, Phillip Mahoney, Sylvia Mieszkowski, Jorge Sacido-Romero, Marcin Stawiarski, Garrett Stewart, Peter Weise, and Bruce Wyse.
Myth and the Sacred in the Poetry of Guillevic
Author: HarveyPublisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004649050
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 177
Book Description
The sacred occupies a central place in the poetry of Guillevic, who described himself as a 'matérialiste religieux'. This study, informed by anthropological and psychoanalytical thought, examines the evolution of this aspect of his oeuvre from Terraqué (1942) through to the poet's last works and focuses in particular on the relation between the sacred and the mother figure. A semiotic approach is used for close textual analysis of key poems. Guillevic's poetic endeavour is conceived as an archaeological quest whereby the presence of the archaic within the domain of the real is disclosed and mythical patterns emerge. The re-enactment of the cosmogony, the performance of ritual and the process of mourning - all crucial to poetic creativity itself - are identified as motivating forces through which the poet seeks reparation of the mother. This study will be of interest to undergraduate and postgraduate students as well as to teachers of French literature, and will provide a useful introduction to those who may be unfamiliar with the unique voice of this major 20th century poet.
Antillanité, créolité, littérature-monde
Author: Isabelle ConstantPublisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1443846325
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 175
Book Description
This collection of essays explores concepts present in literatures in French that, since the 2007 manifesto, more and more critics, suspicious of the term Francophonie, now prefer to designate as littérature-monde (world literature). The book shows how the three movements of antillanité, créolité and littérature-monde each in their own way break with the past and distance themselves from the hexagonal centre. The critics in this collection show how writers seek to represent an authentic view of their history, culture, identities, reality and diversities. According to many of the contributors, creolization and littérature-monde offer new perspectives and possibly a new genre of literature. Ces essais explorent les concepts présents dans la littérature en français, que depuis le manifeste de 2007, de plus en plus de critiques, suspicieux du terme francophonie préfèrent désigner sous le terme de littérature-monde. Ce livre montre comment les trois mouvements antillanité, créolité et littérature-monde, bien qu’ils cherchent chacun à présenter une rupture, offrent aussi un but similaire de distanciation avec le centre hexagonal. Les critiques de ce recueil démontrent comment les écrivains cherchent à représenter une vision authentique de leur histoire, leur culture, leurs identités, leur réalité et leur diversité. Selon de nombreux contributeurs à ce recueil, la créolisation ou la littérature-monde offrent de nouvelles perspectives et la possibilité d’un nouveau genre de littérature.
