Narrative and Normative Pattern: On Interpreting Fiction, with Special Regard to (Un)Reliability
Interpretive disputes about the text's implied normative framework (its aesthetics, ideology, reality-model) involve the reliability of the fictive narrator who mediates between interpreter and implied author. Narrative and normative reconstruction must go together. But how to determine the relations between the text's overt (narratorial) and implicit (authorial) frameworks, considering that the one can never be taken on trust and the other can n…

Ekphrastic Double Exposure and the Museum Book of Poetry
As in my previous work, I define ekphrasis (following up Meir Sternberg's quotation theory) as intermedial quotation or re-presentation (representation in the second degree). My focus here is on the intersection of two of its less common forms: Double Exposure and the Museum Book doublet. However, I would argue, their analysis, apart and a fortiori together, yields theoretical, interpretative, even art-historical conclusions that extend beyond ei…

Fiction and Silence as Testimony: The Rhetoric of Holocaust in Dan Pagis
In both real-life and fictional testimony, the problems of reliability-judgment multiply when witnesses report events that count as extraordinary. Historians and other judges then suspect the teller of misrepresentation. On such testimonies there accordingly converge the issues of reliability and rhetoric, truth and persuasion, norm and narrative discourse. To illustrate them, my essay juxtaposes the testimonial viewpoints and practices of two su…

Interart Narrative: (Un)Reliability and Ekphrasis
As defined in my previous work, (un)reliability is one of five types of hypothesis or integration mechanism, whereby readers account for textual incongruities. In principle, we may always appeal to alternative logics of resolution: ambiguous data may be attributed to generic convention, as in the detective story, and/or to functional drives, like surprise, no less than to the teller's blind spots. What distinguishes the perspectival or the unreli…
Pictorial Models and Narrative Ekphrasis
Ekphrasis is an umbrella term that subsumes various forms of render- ing the visual object in words. This variety is often arbitrarily restricted, largely because some of the forms, though manifest in artistic practice, are not recog- nized in criticism. This essay analyzes two such neglected forms: pictorial models and narrative ekphrasis. Their intersection compounds the ekphrasis of visual model (as distinct from unique artwork) with narrativi…
Plots of Space: World and Story in Isak Dinesen
Plots of Space looks like a contradiction in terms because, according to theory, plots attach by nature to temporal existence and experience. The fact that Isak Dinesen both provokes and resolves this deep contradiction, together with others clustering around it, therefore has more than local interest. And that she does so along lines and for ends not simply distinct but dissenting in principle from those of her ageitself notoriously concerned wi…

Narrative Structure and Fictional Mediation
Insofar as fictionality characterizes the discourse as well as the world of literature, literary communication is always mediated. Between the two extra-fictional parties to the communication act the implied author and the reader there stands at least one fictional subject (a speaker, narrator, reflector, channel of information) and often more than one. By whatever name it is called, such mediacy of transmission necessarily attaches not to discou…
Fictional Reliability as a Communicative Problem
There can be little doubt about the importance of the problem of reliability in narrative and in literature as a whole. It arises with respect to every speaking and reflecting participant in the literary act of communication, from the interlocutors in dialogue scenes to the overall narrator to the author himself; and its resolution determines not our view of the speaker alone but also of the reality evoked and the norms implied in and through his…
