Sutrop on literary fiction-making: defending Currie
No full textIn her study Fiction and Imagination: The Anthropological Function of Literature
(2000), Margit Sutrop criticizes Gregory Currie�s theory of fictionmaking,
as presented in The Nature of Fiction (1990), for using an inappropriate
conception of the author�s �fictive intention.� As Sutrop sees
it, Currie is mistaken in reducing the author�s fictive intention to that of
achieving a certain response in the audience. In this paper, I shall discuss
Sutrop�s theory of fiction-making and argue that although her view is
insightful in distinguishing the illocutionary effect and the perlocutionary
effect in the author�s fictive intention, there are flaws in it. My aim is to
show that, first, Sutrop�s critique of Currie�s view is misguided and, second,
her own definition of fiction as the author�s expression of her imagination
is problematic in not distinguishing literary fiction-making
from other discursive functions and in dismissing the literary practice
which regulates the production of literary fictions
