David and the Countervoices. Focalization, Subject, and Ethics in J.M. Coetzee’s Disgrace
No full textAccording to J. M. Coetzee, “[t]here is a true sense in which writing is dialogic: a matter of awakening the countervoices in oneself and embarking upon speech with them. It is some measure of a writer’s seriousness whether he does evoke/invoke those countervoices in himself, that is, step down from the position of what Lacan calls ‘the subject supposed to know’” (“Interview”, Doubling the Point. Essays and interviews, edited by David Attwell, Harvard UP, 1992, pp. 57–68: 65). In his novel Disgrace (1999), this possibility and the ethical issues that it raises take narrative form in the story of David Lurie and the other characters, inviting the reader, also due to the novel’s narrative devices, to what Gayatry Spivak called “counterfocalization” (Gayatry Chakravorty Spivak, Ethics and Politics in Tagore, Coetzee, and Certain Scenes of Teaching, «Diacritics», vol. 32, n. 3-4, 2002, pp. 17-31: 22). Moving between narratology and ethics, we will observe these aspects of Coetzee’s novel and discuss, in a wider perspective, about the moral sense of literature

“Un crime ou une prière”: Narrative Ethics in Emmanuel Carrère’s L’Adversaire
No full textHow can you tell the story of a man who murdered his whole family? And how should you call the narrative that tries to tell that story: “un crime ou une prière”? These are the questions that haunted Emmanuel Carrère throughout the writing of his 2000 masterpiece, "L’Adversaire." We will try to grasp the meaning of these questions and their import for narrative ethics, while discussing Carrère’s work in the context of both contemporary nonfiction and the history of the novel
"Passion": Embodiment, Interpretation, and the Language of Emotions
Full text linkShe had thought that it was touch. Mouths, tongues, skin, bodies, banging bone on bone. Inflammation. Passion. But that wasn’t what she’d been working toward at all” (Alice Munro, “Passion”). Literary narratives typically deal with passion, feelings, or emotions, and this raises a series of issues that literary theorists and philosophers have long debated: How is the emotional component of the inner world of literary characters—or maybe of their consciousness, or lived experience, or mind—represented? What do narrativity and fictionality entail for the representation of emotions? How are emotions represented in language? And should we really speak about representation at all? But the place of emo-tions in literature is even more controversial if we shift from characters’ emotions to read-ers’ emotions. Today, the philosophical debate started by Plato’s Republic and Aristotle’s Poetics is enriched by the concept of embodiment. But how can we embed an embodied account of the emotional engagement with literature in a wider vision of literary interpreta-tion? In my communication I will try to make some observations in view of an answer to this question, starting from some passages of Alice Munro’s short story “Passion
