Пълно описание

This work examines three first-person novels that narrate spectacular failures of self-representation. In an innovative move, the author grounds these failures in the narrators' inability to move beyond empiricist notions of correspondence between private, nonverbal experience and public expression, an inability that confines them to various forms of solipsism. Russo contends that such empiricist notions still inform contemporary French novels and criticism. She deftly shows that current forms of linguistic skepticism favoured by Blanchot, Sartre, Barthes, and Derrida are in fact the very product of the empiricist notion of truth these authors claim to have rejected. Instead, she argues for the social and contextual dimension of language and against the illusion of authenticity on which these critics still rely. Her readings recast the debates surrounding postmodernism by placing them in a much needed historical context.
